When I edit stuff in LR once I'm done, I usually right click on the image and then select "edit in Photoshop" so I can do any tidying up, resizing and put a border on, especially if the image is going to be used on a digital platform. With the latest version (22.5.1) I can only save to jpg as "Save a copy". Does anyone know how I can get the software to "save as JPG" again? It's a pain in the backside, especially as even then, it defaults to .TIFF and. I have to change it.
 
Adobe claim it's Apple's fault. If they've done it on Windows as well (have they?), it might be to maintain consistency across platforms.

Adobe defends itself as Photoshop users berate new update

It's all Apple's fault, guys.

Edit: Yes, they do seem to have made this change to the Windows version too, though it was triggered by changes in MacOS:

"Save As" in Photoshop no longer works like it always has on Mac.

I had a similar issue which was caused by layers.

Before the update I used to embed my signature without merging the layers and all was fine.

Since the update I now have to make sure I merge all layers otherwise it won't let me save as a JPEG.

May not be identical to your issue but its food for thought.

I've notice that the layers thing is no longer an issue, as I can "save as a copy" to JPG without merging layers and my watermark is still there. I just wish there was a default I could set so that it automatically saves a copy to JPG rather than TIFF.

I had a "booth" at a dog show yesterday and I'm trying to get low res JPG's to send to the owners so they can order prints, and I wish it would just allow me to set things as I want so they stay there.....

I must be feeling really grumpy today!!
 
Could yo use a Lightroom plugin like "LR Mogrify" to add borders/more complicated watermarks without needing to open Photoshop?
 
Thanks Tim, I've just ticked the box and it looks like that has solved the problem. Magic !!!

Edit: Now tested and the problem is solved. Many thanks.
