Yes, and it has always been that way.

Yes, and no. You can open a JPEG, make changes, and save it again as a .jpg file with the same name. What you can't do is start with some other kind of file and save a .jpg. To do that you need to use Export.

Yes. That is correct. 

 

I tend to forget that as I usually am working with raw or tiff, so I have gotten into the habit of exporting all of my images to jpg. I probably do that as well on those rare occasions when I am working with a jpg, just out of habit.

Just to recap and to be pedantic ..

if you open a jpeg file -> use the develop / photo persona to change things -> and hit save, yes the orignal jpeg file is overwritten with a new jpeg file with the changes you did in the develop / photo persona .. no warning it just does it.

if you open a jpeg file -> use the develop photo persona -> and hit save as you can only save as .afphoto file type

Other means of saving are available ... i.e. export persona; however if you try to overwrite your jpeg in export persona with the same filename you do at least get a warning and request for action.

I'm sure there are other combinations I haven't come across yet, perhaps we need a matrix of the combos to make it clear for folks .. addition to the manual perhaps ... or have I missed it?

Cheers

Reg,
