Saving files in Photoshop

[sgina]

Before, every time I save an image (save for web), it took me to the location where I last saved the image.

Now the setting was changed, when I try to save an image, it's trying to save it in my 'Documents' folder.

Anybody know how to change the settings to go to the place that I last saved?

Any help is appreciated.

Photoshop simply remembers where you saved last... I'm not sure of a way around that. If you save something to that folder again, it should remember it (that is, until you save to somewhere else). :o)

yeah. That's how it worked on mine too.

But it just changed. It just doesn't remember where I last saved. It just keeps going back to my 'Documents' folder.

Sounds like time to close photoshop, shutdown and start over. :o)

It started doing this yesterday. I shut down my comp. last night and it's just happening again today. So I'm sure that shutting down photoshop is not solving the problem.
:)
But thanks for the help.

try save as (not save for web) and save it in a couple of formats (gif/jpg); see if this works..

I tried. Still not working. Thanks anyway.

Anything else I can try. It's taking a lot of my times having to change the directory every time I save an image when working on the same project.

as a stop-gap measure, you could simply save a shortcut to the folder where you're saving your files if it's causing you alot of hassle. ;o)

Thanks! I guess if there're no other ways, this is also working for me.

BTW, I'm using Mac.

Did you try deleting the Photoshop preferences file? You will lose any actions you have saved, but it may work for you. This is where the 'last saved' info is stored on a Mac, so your pref file may be corrupted.

OSX
Macintosh HD --> Users --> User_Name --> Library --> Prefernces

OS9
Macintosh HD --> System --> Preferences

<edit> For those of you who don't know ... A preference file on the Macintosh platform is not a neccessary file, so the next time PhotoShop starts up, it will see that there is no preference file, and create a new one with the factory default settings.</edit>

Thus, the source of all your problems! :o) (jokin)
