Save as default format option


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I think someone brought this request before. Basically I need some way to set what format AP saves when I press Cmd S. For example it could be PSD or PDF. 

 

Now I am aware that AP can’t save some specific functions that are not present in other apps. What I am asking for is even the possibility to save basic pixel layers only. This is needed when working in conjunction with other 3D apps where a 3D artist goes between PS & the other software to texture paint. 

 

Right now I constantly have to Save As to preview then go to the other app and change the file again.

 

Thanks,

If the image loaded into AP is either a jpg for tiff, then the Save command saves it back as that format and I, personally, would not want that to change. In fact I rely on it when I use AP as an external editor for my workflow tools. I send a tiff to AP for editing and, when I am finished, I only have to do a Cmd-S to save it back with the same name in the same format. Changing that would mean that all of my external edits from a tool like CaptureOne would not show up in the tool as the new file/format would not have been imported.

 

Currently you have the option of Export to save in whatever format you wish. Does that not work for you?

You didn’t get me. :(

I was asking for some options to save by default to whatever format you need/want instead of the AP format. My issue is that I need PSD specifically(most of the time with 3D stuff). So I press save and the saved file is loaded automatically in some other app. Ideally it would work fine the other way around as well. Whenever I make changes and save them, AP detects the new file and makes changes in it’s layer system.

 

With export I have to manually got through several steps to get same effects.

Hi,

 

Save back to PSD when you hit File -> Save is coming in 1.5.. you will need to turn it on in Preferences (because we don't recommend it generally - PSD and AFPhoto each have different object models and they do not map one-to-one).

 

We haven't got the same option for PDF yet - is that something which could be useful?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy.
