Wonder which keyboard shortcuts or workflows are messed up this time to disrupt long term users muscle memory.. Still not used to the new way of saving a simple jpg..

That is the weirdest backwards step imo. Why would you go out of your way to make it harder to save a file? Save for web being extremely slow certainly doesn’t help.

You can set it back to the old way. Preferences > File Handling > Enable legacy “Save As”.

They also changed the hotkeys for constraining the transform tool axes. For some reason…

as janky as it is, 3d feature had its uses.
cant help but marvel at the brass balls from adobe: introduce lame festures, remove useful ones.

SAAS strikes again.
