#PHOTOSHOP 2022 SAVE AS PDF PROFESSIONAL#

If you'd like to take your photo editing to a new level, make sure to check out the variety of Photoshop tutorials and plugins that will speed up your workflow and help you create stunning, professional work. It’s one I’d suggest you undertake as well, as it seems Save A Copy is everything the new Save As interface is and more. Why also manifest the change on Windows? Why redirect the old, well-worn shortcut to the new interface option, yet still leave the classic right in the menu? Regardless, I’m just happy to see there’s a quick and easy fix. ConclusionĪs this change is apparently related to an Apple API change, I find the whole thing a bit confusing. With the change made, Save A Copy can be your default, and the new Save As never has to be used. For reference, yes, you can still access the Save A Copy dialog via the Save As interface, but it literally just closes and re-opens the Save A Copy menu. Once you’ve made the change, you can just hit OK, and delight in saving files the easy way. You can either leave it blank, change it to Alt+Control+S, or set it to something entirely different. As that’s currently assigned, Photoshop will give you the option to resolve the conflict and go to replace the now vacant shortcut for Save As.

Click on the shortcut, then hit your desired key combination, which should probably be Shift+Control+S. Deselecting this check box could reduce a 40Mb file to just 2Mb as it omits any data that’s not required in the output. Expand the File entry, then scroll to Save A Copy. In Photoshop, simply uncheck ‘Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities’ while in Illustrator, uncheck ‘Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities’ in the ‘Save Adobe PDF’ dialogue box (under ‘options’). From there, you’ll see all of Photoshop’s Menus and their associated shortcuts (you can also adjust panels and tool’s shortcuts via that dropdown, FYI). To get started, just go to Edit> Keyboard Shortcuts. If you haven’t tried changing Photoshop’s defaults, I’d suggest you do! It’s quick, easy, reversible, and can make a big quality of life difference to your workflow, particularly if you’re used to the way another product approaches something. That’s easy to fix and makes use of a feature I just recently talked about in my article on things Lightroom is missing: adjustable keyboard shortcuts.

While you can go to File>Save A Copy, if you’re like me, your muscle defaults to the shortcut of Control+Shift+S, which in the latest version, goes to the suboptimal Save As dialog instead. Fortunately the Save a Copy interface gives you those options back.
