I seem to have overwritten a large image file after reducing size and then expecting to "save as," which appears to be missing.
Did Apple once again eliminate this bit of age old, very simple functionality in favor of some super-clever, alien-race thinking?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Hold the Option key down when you are in the File Menu
You will see Save As

Adding one additonal option to add Save As.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > All Applications
Add Save As... (must be entered exactly) assign shortcut Command Shift S
BTW, the Save as PDF... Must be entered command P twice to get this option. First Command P would do the regular Print. Type the shortcut twice and it will give you the save as PDF window.
You can add shortcuts for menu items that you frequently use that do not have a shortcut assigned like the Add to Contacts for Microsoft Outlook.
Go to the folder the file is on. Right click the item and choose to revert.
For future reference, hold the Option key when saving a file. That will change Duplicate to Save As.
For a better, more permanent solution that makes OS X behave as it did before Lion, follow these instructions.
If I remember correctly, you used to be able to revert saved files from the desktop. Apparently, you can't anymore. So instead, open the image in the app you edited it in and choose to revert it from the menus.
To get the document back... OS X Yosemite: View and restore past versions of documents
File menu > Export seems to be the standard for all Apple applications.
I just followed those steps. Works like a charm. Thanks!

I like the sound of that, thanks!
Where is "save as" in Preview?
