Photoshop Annoyance
Does anyone know if there's a way to make Photoshop go to a default folder when using "save as"? I'm constantly having to navigate to the folder I want all the way from the C Drive root.

For XP (and I would assume Win 7) You cannot modify the default save location but you can try modifying the places bar so that you can have easy access to the folders that you need: Here's one configuration item that sets whether Photoshop remembers where you opened a file, or separates the remembered folder from which a file was opened from the remembered default for saving. That configuration item is in the Edit - Preferences - File Handling dialog and is called [ ] Save As to Original Folder.

It write over the copy so you dont have to choose the path Jan 05 13 12:53 am Link Mine tries to save to the folder where the original file is located. When I start working on the photos from a shoot, I make a subfolder called Edits, then when I do a Save-as, it opens the original folder and I just double-click the Edits folder and save.

Then from photoshop navigate to your desktop and then to the shortcut and you will be saving to the deep folder.

If not that's really pathetic, not to start a flame war I use an older version of Win at work and it's a massive pain dealing with the file browser, especially over a network.

I own alot of Windows based machines, along with Mac's and Linux machines. Each have their own pluses and minuses. Jan 05 13 06:02 pm Link Jan 05 13 06:20 pm Link What I do is find the file folder in the "save as" menu path, then right-click and select "save to favorites". Then the folder appears on the left side each time you "save as". This saves me lots of time. Jan 09 13 11:11 pm Link |
