Images open 'un-flattened' - I don't want that, CS5.5 didn't do that

Jul 29, 2012 8:59 PM

Images coming from my Nikon D-90 (.jpgs) open into Photoshop CS6 just fine. However, CS6 now automatically un-flattens them.

 

This is a pain in the ***. I'm only doing simple edits to the image like cropping and color-correction. If I click to close/save, I get prompted to save as a .psd file. I have to close the save window, flatten the image from the layers menu and then click save.

 

I know it's only a few clicks but I process dozens of images like this at a time. I've been all through the preferences and can't find anything that says "don't unflatten."

 

Help menu is useless as I've searched everywhere through the layers menu.

 

Anyone figure this out yet?

    You likely have [ ] Delete Cropped Pixels unchecked when using the Crop Tool, which automatically makes your image from Background to Layer 0 upon cropping so as to preserve the pixels beyond the visible area.

     

    Check that box and you should see it behave as you want.

    You're welcome, and thanks in return for the virtual beer.
