- I suppose you could save in PhotoShop format, close the TIFF, then
- open the PhotoShop format to continue working. This would allow you
- to keep selecting Save without any dialog boxes. When finished, if
- you need a TIFF, your last step is to Save As and select TIFF format
- again. I dont know if this would involve two changes to the image
- data itself, with possible degradation, or just a change in the
- file format wrapped around the same image. I suspect the latter.

- Hmm. Same problem. Of course they can't simply replace your EPS with
- their new Photoshop file. But I agree the window name should change.
- Seems arbitrary. Same workaround as above.
