Saving as JPG - CS5 defaults to PSD, even when flattened

I'm frustrated by this issue and cannot find a solution, I apologize if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find it.
When I go to save an image the "file format" drop down box defaults to PSD every time, rather than the original format of the image. This happens even when the image is flattened and regardless of bit depth. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to simply drop down the box & select "JPG" but when you're working hundreds of images it becomes time consuming. Sometimes when I change the format it tells me that I must save it as a copy & automatically adds "copy" to the file name. I have specific file naming so I have to manually delete this in order to save over the original file.
This is a fairly recent (year or so) issue because I used to be able to use my programmable keyboard to do this and it made things SO fast! Now I'm forced to use the regular keyboard/mouse and it's slowing down my workflow.
Thanks in advance!

It should default to jpeg if the image was already a jpeg and you flattened the image before trying to save.
You might try resetting the photoshop preferences.

Leopard Defaults to Wireless, even when Gigabit ethernet is plugged in...

This is a bit of frustration for me, but after installing 10.5.5, it seems as though leopard defaults to use the wireless connection instead of the "fastest available" connection.
When I plug in ethernet, i stay connected via wireless, even though I have an IP over ethernet. when I try to access ethernet-only local services, I am denied unless I turn off the wireless connection.
This did not happen in previous updates of Leopard. I found that without turning the wireless off I could access the local services just by plugging in the ethernet.
Any ideas?

You can reset the Service Order on the gear drop down in System prefs > Network which might help.
Sorry no idea if or when it changed, I've always just turned Airport off on the menu bar when using my USB mobile modem.

Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.

Hi ,
Autosave and Auto- recover is two different option . If you need to disable or set the Autosave options please follow the steps below :
1 ) Create a New Document dialog box has an option to set Autosave OFF & ON
2) In Document PI under Properties section click on wrench image i.e Edit document properties button and turn ON / OFF Auto -Save option.
I hope this help.
Thanks

New page defaults to picas even when changed to mm in unit preferences

everytime i open a new document in indesign CC the new document dialog box shows the page measurments as picas even thought i would have changed it to mm in the unit preferences. It just reverts back again.
how can i stop this from happening. i have been able to come up with some work arounds but its just time consuming to do everytime i create a new document.
its really frustrating as i my work is mostly for print and i alway use mm.

Change the preferences with no documents open.
All new documents will have those preferences.

Timeframe always defaults to '3' even when other value on screen variant

Hi there
I have created a screen variant and transaction variant for transaction BBPSC04 to change the "Timeframe" (GS_SEARCH_FIELD-SELECTION_DATE) field value to '4' and the "Including Completed Shopping Carts" (GS_SEARCH_FIELD-WITH_CLOSED) field value to 'X' using transaction SHD0. On tcode SHD0 the 'Content' field indicates the new values and the 'W. content' field is selected for the fields with new values.
When I execute the transaction all the new variant values are indicated except the "Timeframe"-field. This field always defaults to '3' no matter what value you indicate in the variant.
I see some hardcode in the func grp BBP_PDH_SEARCH where this field is defaulted to value '3'.
It seems like a SAP program error. Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks
Frederik

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
It seems to be a bug in the system. Please raise a customer OSS message with SAP on this.
Do keep me posted.

Any advantage to saving a file as a tiff or pds when first working on it?

I have a point and shoot camera that takes great pictures but only saves in JPEG format.
I've been using PSE 10 to process them but I've been wondering if there would be some advantage to immediately saving them as TIFF's or PSD's when importing them? I'm thinking specifically about loss of clarity or crispness.

Before I shot raw I only captured jpegs. I learned a while ago that you can process a jpeg image in ACR, but you've got to remember that the jpeg is a compressed image that will already have had certain criteria addressed in camera (brightness, contrast, sharpening, etc.). Raw images are totally unprocessed (and non destructable) so they're akin to the negatives you used to have with film.
Where ACR can be really useful when processing jpeg images is with the wider range of exposure adjusters at your disposal, e.g. Temperature, Exposure, Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks, Brightness, Contrast, Clarity, etc. You'll be amazed at how much information you can pull out of an underexposed jpeg using these tools, as opposed to the simple Levels adjustments in PSE. When you're done in ACR you just click Open as usual and the image appears in Editor for further tweaking. Finally, having cropped and sharpened, you can then save it as a jpeg image.
The quickest way to open a jpeg in ACR is as follows:
Open Editor
Select File>Open As
Select Camera Raw (from the drop down menu at the foot of the window that has just opened)
Locate the jpeg file from your hard drive (or wherever)
Click Open and the ACR page will appear with your picture ready for processing
Proceed as you would with any other raw file
Good luck!

JPGS are set to open in Photoshop Elements, but they open in Windows Photo Viewer instead, even when I specifically select Photoshop (and it's the default app)

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.

Colors look very different when saving to jpg from psd

I'm working on a CMYK image and when I save it to jpg from photoshop CS6, I get this difference in color:
In photoshop:
Viewed from Preview as JPG:
I can't figure out what's causing this color change... I've never had problems saving to jpg before...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

When you save the jpeg are you using Save As... or Save For Web...? To keep the jpeg mode as CMYK you have to use Save As and if you want the jpeg's CMYK preview to match in other color managed applications you have to check Embed Color Profile.
In the Preview app if you choose Tools>Show Inspector the dialog will tell you what profile is embedded. In Photoshop if you choose Document profile from the pop-up in the window's lower left corner, the document's assigned profile will be listed. The Preview and Photoshop profiles have to match in order to get the same color soft proof:

Suddenly my PS CS5 defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000, how do I restore it back to "Save As" JPEG?

I got a new computer (Windows 7) at work this April and as of today, when I work on any of my JPEG images in PS CS5, suddenly it has defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000. How did this default change and how do I get it to default save as. JPEG again? There was nothing I noticed and no warning as to why this has changed, I didn't touch a thing!
(Last week, Adobe had to work with our IT manager to fix a problem that started occuring with my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 program. They had to log into my computer and change a registry thing to get it to work properly again...also something that changed without warning!!)

Thank you Curt Y, as I saw your post reply come through, I had just hung up with Adobe support (after being on the phone for an hour & a half).
To be clear...prior to today, if I opened a JPG file, and did an immediate "save/save as", it would automatically re-save as a JPG file but it seemed to suddenly be defaulting to a "save/save as" JPEG2000.
They claimed that yes, there was a fix for this and while I was on hold she had me follow a few directions which DID fix the issue. While we were on the phone she was able to have me restore it to at least a default "save/save as" for a PSD file rather than a JPEG2000, which is better than nothing and she was about to help me get the default set so that when I open a JPG it would automatically default to "save/save as" a JPG, but she couldn't get it that to work. After she logged on to my computer to physically do it herself and failed to fix it further, she thinks my security permissions (we are on a network) are not set properly and she wanted to create a new user account with the proper permissions but we were halted because our IT guy is not in right now.
She gave me a case# and when he returns tomorrow, we are to try her list of instructions starting with creating a new (PS CS5 user account) then if that does not restore the "save as" defaults we are to uninstall, then re-install PS. If this still does not work we are to call her back and they will try to fix it from there. She did tell me that in my version of PS (CS5), she was able to open a JPG (on her end), then hit save as, and it defaults to saving as a JPG, not a PSD as is happening to me.
Before I posted here, I did do an iternet search to find out how to set the defaults, however I too found that everyone says there is no such default of a "save as" JPG...but Adobe claims otherwise. We shall see what happens tomorrow...

When I Select "Edit in Photoshop," Lightroom sends a JPG instead of a PSD or TIFF

To get started, I'm on LR 5.2RC and Photoshop CS6. All software is up to date and both ACR's are the same at 8.2. And my source files are all JPEG's.
When I select the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6" option on an image, I get the proper "What to Edit" pop-up window and have the option to edit a copy with LR adjustments, edit a copy, or edit original. My problem is that no matter what option I choose, LR will make a copy of the image as a JPG (rather than a PSD) and send that to Photoshop.
I've gone to LR preferences and tried changing the file format option to TIFF to see if that would work, but same problem...LR still makes a JPG and sends that to PS.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

It sounds to me as if you may be selecting a user-saved external editing preset rather than the built-in Edit in PS option.
PSD / TIFF / JPG are the filetype options for the former, but the latter only allows PSD / TIFF.
If so, such a preset includes a selection of file format, bit depth and colourspace that may differ from the selection seen in the upper part of the External Editing dialog. This preset may not currently appear in the lower part of this dialog either.
The lower part of this dialog is used as a workbench for managing as many editing setup options as you like. These can be named and saved as a preset, or recalled for adjustment and re-saving (update), using the "Preset:" menu.
The "Edit in PS" context menu when used within e.g. Develop, will show any named editing presets you have made below (but only if successfully auto-configured) a built-in "Edit in PS" option which is controlled by the upper part of the dialog mentioned above. The built-in option is not dependent on any user preset. One indication that LR has not properly configured itself for the presence of your PS, is if the additional options (Panorama, HDR, as Layers) do not appear when you highlight more than one image and select Edit in...
This configuration apparently can be "broken" by uninstalling an earlier version of PS, which removes some system configuration that the later PS would be relying on for its LR partnering. Or I guess there may be other causes.
IIRC, usually the answer to that, is a "repair" reinstall of PS - which LR should then properly recognise.
One comment: if PS and LR are configured as "aligned" versions, it is normal to meanwhile see the filetype of the source image file as the document window title within your PS session - even if that source file is Raw, which is not something you can in fact edit using PS. This rather misleading IMO document title, collapses down to an actual proper filename only once the document has been Saved from PS - or if you close PS without saving, no actual file is made at all.
Only then is LR's suggestion of filetype, filename and saving location (as configured in LR's external editing options) implemented for real - though if you instead select Save As, those suggestions can all be overridden by the user, and LR should still auto-import the resulting brand new file.
OTOH, if you are using any external editing preset or if ACR+LR versions are not aligned, the file you see inside PS is always one which has already been saved (and already auto-imported to LR).

MX922 -Problem opening scanned photos saved as jpgs

When I scan a photo, the image is saved as jpg but cannot be opened by Preview or iPhoto. Message: "file is damaged or is in an unrecognizable format." I scan from my pc, as the printer "defaults" to "set the pc to start scanning." The file extension says jpg but in the settings menu pull-down it's listed as jpg exif. Even if I choose png, I get the error message. What's the problem?

Help please with saving to jpg automatically

Hello,
I have been working with photoshop a while and used to be when I clicked "save as" the ext jpg was there automatically, now it is wanting to save everything as a photoshop extention. How do I get it to go back to saving as jpg autmatically. Even regular photos where I've only used auto contrast want to be saved as photoshop. Thanks!
I've looked in the file handling preferences but don't see a spot to make jpg the default save as.
Kathleen

Changed the color management settings? Applying some odd stuff? Something has changed, but you do not provide enough info to make sense of it. Even accidentally clicking with a "wrong" tool may tricker this since otehrwise there may be no way to retain the PS-specific data.

PS cs3 doesn't save files as JPG or others except PSD or PDF!!!

Please, help! My PS cs3 provides saving files only as PDF or PSD files!!! How can I save them as JPG????

I think you may have been mis-remembering Jennifer, unless you save for web, in which case it gets converted to 8-bit.
As Freeagent said, check the colour mode settings.

Problem opening and saving files, new eps default

I expect that these two issues are related, but in a way that I don't understand.
(1) When I go to open files, raw or jpeg, I now need to enter a value for 'enable' on the open dialog. That never was necessary before.
(2) When I go to save as jpeg, the file type defaults to eps. And even when I change to jpg, I get a dialog about eps options.
I don't understand this at all! I've never used eps, don't even know why I would.
The only way I found to get around this was to convert my files to 16 bit. That certainly shouldn't be necessary.
(I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac running Mountain Lion)

(1) When I go to open files, raw or jpeg, I now need to enter a value for 'enable' on the open dialog. That never was necessary before.
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels/Dialogs visible?
(2) When I go to save as jpeg, the file type defaults to eps.
So you select jpg from the dropdown list and it switches to eps?
