Is it possible set a Default Folder for all "Save As" to be saved in?

I find that an edit of a photo will automatically save in the folder that I opened the shot from. If I had made a copy of the shot, the copy will save in a different folder.

Ideally, ANY AND ALL (originals and copies) "Save As" should be save in "c:\Working" by default without having to go through the hassle of navigating there.

I am running CS3 under Vista (4 gig ram) on one machine and XP (3 gig ram) on another.

Thank you.

No way, that I know of, to change Photoshop’s default folder. The solution I have adopted is to FileBox eXtender, a free download that adds shortcut icons to the upper corner of the file dialog.

Well that is pretty darned good second choice.

In fact, after playing with is for a while, I think that your solution, FileBox eXtender, is even better than what I wanted as I can use it all throughout Windows.

Great Find! and Thanks!
