  • In this video, let's clear the confusion once and for all between Save, Save As, Save a Copy, and even Export As, in Photoshop! With the recent changes in Photoshop 2021, there has been a lot of perplexity as to how things have changed. In this tutorial, we will only focus on the fundamental differences between these functions and also cover what to use when.
    I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

      My photoshop cs6 is not saving pictures i dont know the reason why everytime i try to save a picture it pop up a notification on the screen the message is "could not save as "C:\Users\...
      ame of the file.psd" because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the "Properties" command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
      Help me out if you can I need your help. Thanks 😊

      When using an existing Jpeg file with some changes made, Using the Save command gets the response from Photoshop; "you do not have sufficient permissions" and the Save function then does not work.

      This looks like a recipe for disaster, changing the muscle-memory many of us have with saving files. I can see anyone working on a flat image accidentally overwriting their image. Well, I no longer use CC's latest versions (their most recent one has had a showstopper crash bug since Oct 2020, which they have made very little attempt to fix (other than telling us to delete our prefs, delete our prefs, have you switched it off and on again? Delete your prefs.). Infuriating that they're wasting resources on this sort of "FIX" when there are actual bugs that are preventing artists from doing actual work. "IF it ain't broke, fix it until it is", Adobe motto.
      ASAP I'll be rolling back to CS5.5 (or CS6 if I can get my old copy to install). Bye bye cloud, and good riddance.

      @@Ruffian_Xion Oh, yes, I've been wrangling with The Bug for months; have finally given up and am rolling back to CS6, as well as quitting my CC ASAP. From now on if I need an app I'll get it for a month then quit again; the latest 'update' of PS takes 2 minutes to load, then crashes when I try to open a file. I get the impression this issue is dependent on certain hardward configs, (mine is generic NVIDIA on a PC, so I don't know why it hasn't hit more people). In any case, the treatment to those us affected is one of pure contempt, and I won't be giving this awful company a penny more than I have to. I should be able to make-do (about) with my CS5.5 suite for the moment, and will have to look into the free alternatives like DaVinci resolve, Krita, etc.

Now it’s more straight to the point... One saves the processes, other saves the results. Liked it.

    Thank you Unmesh! When dealing only with Photoshop this subject is a little complicated, but it behaves as logically expected. However, when bringing files from Lightroom into Photoshop! That needs a tutorial by itself! There are many scenarios, and not all behave logically. For example, some save operations update the Lightroom catalog, but not all, so you have to be looking up when to update it manually. Also, there are 3 ways to send a photo from LR to be edited in PS. If you throw in the different image types, and the 3 save flavors, you get at least 18 different scenarios! Please, help us clarify that.

    question: when saving as "save as copy", will my file size be diminished? I have to do this in order to have the jpg option, but need my max image quality. Thanks!

    I’ve been using Export As when saving as JPEGs to upload to stock photography platforms, but especially on iStock, I’ve had to add the date on the platform. It doesn’t seem to retain that part of the metadata, even though I click to save the copyright information. Is there some kind of workaround available?
    Yes, I can convert the profile to sRGB, flatten the image and save as a JPEG, but that takes longer.
