Color management in Save for Web not working

The Save for Web dialog box in the CS6 Beta is ignoring color profiles, so color is not managed. This has not been a problem in previous versions.

The saved output is just fine. I was referring to the images in the Save for Web dialogue
I just checked my settings. CS6 apparently changed my Preview setting from "Use Document Profile" to "Monitor Color." It also changed my Metadata setting. It should not do that!
Restoring the correct Preview setting solved the color management problem, but ONLY for the Preview image. The Original image is still not color managed.
I'm on a wide-gamut monitor, so sRGB images come out looking garish if there's no color profile embedded or it's ignored. That's what's happening here with the Original image in Save for Web. I imported an sRGB image with profile embedded, and it looks just fine in Photoshop while editing. Then I went to Save for Web, with the settings Embed Color Profile, Convert to sRGB, and Preview: Use Document Profile. The JPEG preview too looks just fine with these settings, but the Original looks garish, showing a lack of color management. The color in the two views is showing as completely different, though they both represent the same image with the same color profile embedded.
Going back to CS5, the same image is properly color managed in both Original and Preview. Both images show identical color, as they should.

  • Save for web not working on mac

    Hi Everyone,
    I am giving photoshop elements 8 a trial but can't get the save for web to work.  When I click File -> Save for web it does nothing?
    Does anyone have any suggestions why this would be the case?
    I downloaded the trial today for Mac and have installed it twice with no joy.
    Cheers

    I just tried this. No dialog box appeared.
    I am loading the software onto my MacBook Pro now, which is running 10.6. Hopefully I can use it on that machine, though I do a majority of my work on this one.
    eta: The Save for Web dialog is appearing on my MacBook Pro.
    Of course, now I can't get the Loop checkbox to toggle, or the Frame Delay to change for the animated GIF I am trying to create. *sigh* Now I shall start searching the forum for a solution to that problem.
    OK, I just found this:
    Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).
    Seriously? This is the MAIN REASON I bought PSE. To do animated GIFs. I can't believe that Adobe isn't bothering to fix this problem.

  • Photoshop CS6 Save for Web not working

    I am using photoshop CS6 (cloud) on Mac (10.7.5) and when I use the Save For Web > save, i got the following popup :
    ---- Adobe Save For Web Error ----
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred.
    I have been using CS6 for months and it worked fine yesterday before shutting done. Today morning at startup it was not working anymore.
    I have tried to  uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, clear my presets, shut down/started up, repair disk, repair permissions,... without succes.
    The save for web function still works in CS5.
    Any help will be very much appreciated,
    Raphaël K.

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

  • "Save for Web" not working (again)

    I have reinstalled Photoshop CC and removed all "save for Web" preference files.
    I receive the following error message:
    "The operation could not be completed. A file or directory already exists with the same name"
    Which file or directory?
    Wouldn't it ask if I want to "overwrite" the file?
    Running
    Photoshop CC 14.2.1 x64
    Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Before you roll your eyes and say "Watch the video" about removing preferences files - I have done all of that, in addition to reinstalling Photoshop CC twice.
    It is the second time this has happened to me in a year. Now Illustrator is also misbehaving when I try to "Save for Web".
    "Save for Web" is a really important feature for me - I am a freelancer doing graphics and web.
    Anybody have any Ideas? Is this a common problem? Is Adobe working on it? Is it a Mavericks problem?
    Thanks...

    Okay for anybody who is interested - the ONLY thing left for me to do - and what I have done -  is to create a new User account and copy all my files to the new account.
    I did this by copying the files first to the "shared" folder in Users. - not simply by moving them but by copying them - Important!
    There was a suggestion somewhere that you could delete the User with the problem, create a user with the same name and then reincorporate the old user data into the new account - this did not work for me.
    Removing all the various Preferences mentioned in 3-4 similar posts from people with the same problem did not help.
    I even contacted Adobe Customer Assistance (chat), they took over my screen and after trying the above and more, the only thing left that worked was for them to create a new User test account. This worked.
    But what a botherto move everything! iTunes, iPhoto, Mail - they all have to be moved in a certain way (do your research).
    Another tip - to be safe, I have kept the old account and maintained it as "Administrator" - and changed the password.
    My new User (Where I moved my files to and will work out of) is not an Administrator account, and has a totally different password.
    I don't believe I was "hacked" - I think a log somewhere got corrupted.

  • 16.2.1 - save for web not working

  • Save for web not working for .PNG?

    When I slice up a .psd file and then go file > save for web and select to save the images as .png it does not work for some reason. No matter what I select it only uses jpeg. I am using Photoshop CS2.
    Any suggestions?

    As Zeno said, file format selection is per slice, not a global override. Select al lslices, then pick the PNG options.

  • 14.2.1 update Save for Web not working

    Opening up an image I made moments ago through Save for Web dialog (as a normal 'web' 72 dpi image) returns a 300dpi image every time. Not functioning. This happens every time since the update to 14.2.1. I thought it must be me somehow, but it is the software.
    I am running 10.8.5 on a 6-core 3.33 GHz

    Yes, I am serious.
    When I want to save a JPEG that has a particular ppi value I use File - Save As.
    So I ask again:  What is your use for your images that you're using Save for Web and care about the ppi?  Perhaps there's another way to get what you want rather than through Save For Web.
    I'm not being critical - I promise.  I just thought maybe I could suggest alternatives.
    -Noel
    P.S., The ppi normally doesn't matter when images are displayed on the web.  HTML usually is used to size images by pixels or points.

  • PSE 8 MAC save for web not working

    I upgrade from PSE6, and I used to use save for web all the time.  Since I upgraded to 8, when I click on save for web it does nothing, no error, just nothing.  I saw in the form were a user had the same issue with 6 and I tried deleting the files and fixing permissions etc.  Anyone else having this problem, or any suggestions?
    thanks,
    charles

    I had the same issue. Running in a non-admin account I was unable to do a Save for Web. I switched to my admin account and it worked there. When I switched back to my non-admin account it now works ok. As an aside, same situation with changing the program icon for PSE 8.

  • Save for Web not working on MacBook Pro

    Just got a new MacBook Pro (OSX 10.5.7) and installed my CS3 Design Premium Premium, with PS Extened. Save for web window comes up fine and I can access and change any setting. The problem comes when I hit Return and the window pops up asking where to save the file. It doesn't let me click on anything or even hit Enter to let it save where is.

    Trash your Photoshop preferences.  Refer to the FAQs if you don't know how.

  • Save for web not working

    Hi
    I 'saved for web' once and all OK when using the resultant quicktime webpage to check. Now this page just shows a green screen in the embedded video and only plays a loud static noise.
    No changes made to location of files. I tried it again but no joy. In the finder the computer video has a different icon (a musical note) to the iPhone m4v and iphone (cellular) 3gp files(thumbnails of movie) and these two files play ok. I don't know what settings to alter if any. Another movie exported fine to the same drive.
    Any ideas on where to start?
    Cheers
    Chris

    The original movie file came from iMovie. It is quite large and I had trouble 'sharing' it. However that done it plays in QuickTime. I have now imported it to Adobe Premier and exported it (with a different file name) as an mp4v file (which it was before). On saving for web with Quicktime the version for computer still doesn't work.
    Anything else?

  • IBooks author color shift with "Save for web devices..."

    Hi! I'm a web developer and I'm learning to use iBooks. It's a really easy tool, but there is a problem with color management wich is driving me crazy. This happen when I export images from "Save for web devices..." from Photoshop, then drag it to iBooks author.
    As I do for web development, I do this:
    1) Configure photoshop Color Settings to work with "Color Monitor"
    2) Remove any color management from my document
    3) Proof Setup > Monitor RGB
    4) Disable Proof Colors
    5) Use "Save for web devices..." with ICC profile and sRGB unchecked
    The exported JPG looks fine everywhere... Photoshop, Preview, Safari, Chrome, FF... but looks washed out when I drag it to iBooks Author. Why?
    I solved this issue converting to sRGBIEC61966-2.1 profile and checking ICC profile when  "Save for web devices...", but I'm not confortable with this workaround because I'm not sure about what I'm doing exactly, and I am not sure if this images are gonna look good on any device (I only own an iPad 3).
    Somebody know a best method to deal with this?
    Thanks!

    Hi KT. Thanks for your response. I'm already using this formats. Anyway, the problem occurs within iBooks Author interface. I mean: I can see the color shift (or washed out...) at iBooks Author at my computer screen. Of course, when I test it on iPad it also looks bad.
    It's incredibly strange because the JPGs I'm using looks fine everywhere else except iBooks Author.

  • Action & Droplet "save as" vs "save as web" not working - Possible bug?

    Before I state the issue, I am running the latest updates and have tried this in Photoshop CS4 & CS5.
    I believe this is a bug in Photoshop, unless someone can get this Action & droplet to work right.
    Here's the issue:
    I create an Action with the "Save as Web & Devices" and save the image as a PNG. Then create a Droplet and set the destination as "Folder" with a destination different from the source file, and check Override Action "Save As" Commands and use File Naming with Document Name + _H50 + extension (example: MyFile_H50.gif). The file naming convention I made doesn't carry over to the processed images.
    However this droplet will work with the Action when I use the "Save As" command, but not the "save as web & devices" option. Has anyone came across this issue or know how to fix it?
    The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
    Here's a detailed process of my action and creation of the droplet:
    CREATION OF ACTION:
    1.) I have a .TGA file open with alpha channel layer.
    2.) I set the selection to the alpha channel, go back to the layers panel, double click layer, Set backgound to Layer 0, Inverse the selection, delete the background, trim image to transparent pixels, change image size to a fixed height of 50 pixels.
    Here's the variable step that works or doesn't work depending if I choose "Save as" or "Save as Web & Devices"
    3.) File > "Save as Web & Devices", save image as PNG w/ alpha, and select my "processed images" folder & save, close original  image without saving.
    CREATION OF DROPLET:
    1.) Save droplet location, Play action with include subfolders, Suppress file open options dialog, Suppress Color profile warnings.
    2.) Destination: Select a folder
    3.) Use File Naming: Document Name + _H50 + extension
    4.) Save log errors.
    Next I drag some images onto the droplet, it processes the images into the folder but doesn't use the File Naming convention.
    Now, if I use the "save as" command in the action and create the droplet the same way, it works!
    The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
    What the heck is going on? Please Help
    -Josh

    The following example action and droplet may give you
    an idea how to do this with one droplet.
    The idea is to make an intermediate folder to save the renamed psds to.
    Then use save for web to save the psds as pngs in a different folder.
    1. Make a folder to hold the psd files (temp psd in the example droplet)
    2. Open one of your targa files and record the steps to prepare your file
        (loading the channel selection, trim, etc)
    3. Save your file as a psd.
    4. Now save the file using save for web to the folder where you want your
    final pngs to be (saved for web in the example action) and don't change
    the file name when saving.
    5. Go to the folder where you saved the png using save for web and delete that file.
       (so you don't get an overwrite message when using your droplet)
    6. When creating the droplet, specify the name you want the saved pngs to be and
       choose the destination folder where the psds will be saved. (temp psd)
    The end result of all this, should save your files, renamed as psds (to a folder)
    and save for web should save the renamed psds as pngs, to the place
    you saved the file using save for web.
    One drawback of all this, you end up with a folder full of psds.
    You could just delete the psd files inside the folder after each run.
    (click on the images below to enlarge)
    Hope this helps.

  • I also have a color problem when Save For Web

    Using Photoshop CS4 and I also have a problem when I use the "Save for Web & Devices" My colors also get bleached. I found a thread with the same problem but on Windows.
    As I have a Macbook Pro I can not change my monitor settings. In the SFW I check "Convert to sRGB" but it make no difference. I also tried to convert in the menu before using SFW. So I need some help here.
    Here is a screen shot on my screen: http://www.scancyp.com/dump.jpg

    Also I was wondering why?
    You need to calibrate and profile your monitor regularly and often
    First:  Because monitors can and do drift.  In CRTs all kinds of electronic components and the phosphors themselves age; in LEDs and LCDs the back-light illuminants do; etc.
    Second:  Monitor profile files can and occasionally do get corrupted.
    I validate the calibration of my monitors practically on a daily basis.
    If you don't have an accurately profiled monitor at all times, your work is wasted.
    Magooi wrote:
    But it's a whole science to calibrate the monitor without a hardware calibration kit. I had a look at SuperCal as you suggested, but I am afraid it's gona be too complicated for me as I think it's hard enough to calibrate with the Apple calibration tool.
    Even the cheapest hardware calibrator puck will give you superior results than any eyeball calibrator.  That said, SuperCal is a tad better than Apple's  built-in eyeball calibrator, though nowhere as good as a hardware calibrators.
    Personally, I detest laptop screens and categorically do not consider a MacBook Pro a suitable machine for serious color work.  For this reason, I cannot in good conscience insist on your buying a hardware calibrator.
    Laptop screens can be nearly impossible to calibrate accurately.
    Magooi wrote:
    I have made a new screen shot with my results so far. Upper left is Photoshop original. To the right the SFW and lower left the preview result. The SFW result still don't give me the colors I want, but as I said: closer then before.
    Screen shots from an uncalibrated or inaccurately calibrated monitor are worthless, always.  They do not help at all, especially when they are partial snippets that don't show the whole picture.
    This time around they are even worse, as I cannot see whether you rectified your Preview setting in the Save For web dialog box to "Use Document Profile", as I told you earlier:
    You have to start by changing that setting in the Save For Web dialog box to "Use Document Profile".
    Is your original document in a device independent color space (i.e. was your working colorspace set to such a device-independent color space like Adobe RGB or sRGB when you created the original) and is it properly tagged (does it have such a device independent profile embedded)?  If the answer to any of that is no, all your work is wasted.
    If your working space is set to your Monitor Profile, then your work is a useless mess.  If the original is in your Monitor Profile, it's no good either.  Same goes for the Preview setting in the Save For Web dialog box, if it's set to Monitor Profile, it's useless.
    If you view any untagged image (any image without a device-independent profile embedded) in any Apple application, be aware that any such Apple application, From the Finder, through Preview, Aperture and iPhoto to Safari, will throw your monitor profile at your image (assuming it's really in your Monitor Profile) and it will display your image in the wrong colors, as all Apple applications stupidly assume that all untagged images were created by some fool who didn't know better.
    Magooi wrote:
    But now my main questions is:
    Why the Original in the Photoshop SFW don't look like the original? And then why the Optimized in the SFW also don't look like the the preview? (Specially look at he shadows of the palm tree that shows in the Optimized but not in the preview)
    I have no idea what all your other color settings throughout the whole application and in the Save For Web box are, what else may be messed up on your machine, or how badly inaccurate your monitor profile is.  Again, your  screenshot is not helpful and never will be—unless you had an accurately profiled monitor, which you will never be sure you have on your laptop, ever.
    Magooi wrote:
    And again, should I invest in SuperCal? It seems also to be very old.
    SuperCal is better than Apple's calibrator, regardless of whatever its age may be at this point.  Last time I checked, SuperCal was free.  If they want to charge for it now, don't buy it.  It's not worth it for a laptop screen.
    On a side note, if you think SuperCal is "too complicated" for you, I doubt you're ready for Photoshop anyway, even with a better machine.  Sorry, no offense meant, but it wouldn't be fair to you if I didn't tell you exactly how I feel.
