How to use the script

The script has no interface other than a done alert. Run the script and the Save command is added to the right-click context menus Default, Layout, and Text.

To remove Save from the context menus, edit the script and comment the lines 19-21 to disable adding Save to the context menus. Run the script again.

Any questions contact the author William at any time.

For help installing scripts, see How to Install and Use Scripts in Adobe Creative Cloud Applications.

IMPORTANT: scripts are developed for the latest Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Many scripts work in CC 2018 and later, even some as far back as CS6, but may not perform as expected, or run at all, when used in versions prior to 2018. Photoshop features Select Subject and Preserve Details 2.0 definitely fail prior to CC 2018 (version 19) as the features do not exist in earlier versions. For best results use the latest versions of Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
