Must save twice?


Recommended Posts

Anyone else notice this? If I finish a photo with adjustments then save it with Control + S, when I go to close it, it asks to save again with the "flattened" dialog which may or may not have popped up with the first save

If I just crop an image, this does not happen

What kind of file? Sounds like you're editing a .JPG, .TIF, or .PNG, possibly?

Note that if you "just crop" an image you're not making additional layers. But with adjustments you are, unless you merge them. In any case, you should get the popup dialog with both Saves, or neither :)

Well ... ANY file including some HTML files I get (they are graphics)

Mostly the "flatten" dialog pops once but I can't say I have totally pinned that down.

One shouldn't need to save twice is the real issue although this is hardly causing angst 😁

Ah right, your original report was different to your video. Originally you said pressing CTRL+S caused two prompts. It looks like you need to attempt to close the document first, which prompts for save, and then will prompt to ask whether you want to save flattened or as a different file format. This is the correct behaviour, but I appreciate it could probably be improved by combining those prompts.

Being a keyboard person I do control+s followed by control+w Either or both can give a "flattened" message. I am simply saving back over the original file and not trying to change anything else

So randomly, I must save it twice
