Ventura: screenshot markup

Hi! I need some help with screenshot tool. In previous MacOS versions when I made a screenshot and open it clicking on its subnail it opens in markup mode with pen tool as active. So, I was able to edit the screenshot instantly. But after update it started open in preview mode and I have to activate markup with an additional click. How can I return my previous ability?

Screenshot changes in Ventura - No edit mode by default With the update to Mac OS X Ventura, it seems like they have changed how the screenshots work. In previous versions, after taking a screenshot, it would open in edit mode so you could start drawing straight away. Now in Ventura this is not the case anymore, and you need to click a couple of times to be able to start drawing, which is quite annoying as the main use case when taking a screenshot is to draw/annotate something on it. Is there a way to change this so it behaves like it did before? Any settings or something I'm missing? Thanks.

Screenshot Opens "Preview" rather than saves to Desktop Issue Suddenly on my Wife's 2013 MacBook Air running macOS Big Sur. CMD-SHIFT-5 allows me to create my screenshot like we've always done in the past, however tonight while she is doing some work, the moment she clicks "Capture," to capture some web page images she needs to save, Preview opens. What happened to the just dumping the image on my desktop functionality? Has Apple snuck some weirdness onto my Wife's computer? Why would this change...how do I get that functionality back? I don't feel like I should have to work some "terminal" or CLI magic to get that back and the only other solutions I have seen are people discussing "Touch Bar" settings. My Wife's computer doesn't do "Touch Bar..."

The behavior has changed in Ventura.

You can send Apple feedback if you like.

And no chances to reset this behavior?

Only if Apple decides to change it back.
