| Photoshop CS 6 - Default Save on OS X The default save as for Photoshop CS 6 is Photoshop PDF.
The internet is filled with snarky comments and insults to use Google then links to dead sites. There is no live data anymore.
Is there a way somewhere to change that default to let's say PNG, JPEG, TIFF, whatever?
Thanks.

kudos:17 | On my PC, PhotoShop CS6 Extended Save As defaults to PSD, like it has for as long as I can remember...
I went thru the preferences and I can't see "default file type" option.

The whole point of "Save As" is to choose the format. There is no default. When you use "Save As" you should get a window with a pull-down menu of options. |

kudos:1 | Was thinking there was a shortcut way to change that to a format I'd actually use.
Thanks for the answers though. |

That is a sticky setting. The default will change to whatever the last file type you saved as. Initially it is PSD but if your next save as even for a new file is JPG then it will stay JPG even if you start creating yet another all new file.
So if you are always using say PSD, then it will always default to PSD. If you are always using JPG, it will always default to JPG unless your document will lose data saving as JPG (such as it has layers). |

Not always. If you're working in 16 bit it will save the file in a 16 bit format like TIF or PSD regardless of what format you previously saved in. You'll have to convert to 8 bit to save as a JPG. |

kudos:2 | As I said..unless you lose data, such as 16 bit color information given JPG is by definition 8 bit. |
