Is it possible to preset to JPEG High when using 'Save for Web...'?

Hi,
I am using photoshop elements 10. When I am ready to save an image under 'SAVE FOR WEB..' can I preset it to 'JPEG HIGH' cos right now it will pop up 'GIF'.
When I am using PSE2, I am able to launch it as JPEG HIGH. Now, I have to click on the popdown menu to select 'JPEG High'.

You need to right-click on the PSE desktop icon and choose "Run as Administrator".
Then, open a file in PSE, use Save for Web and change all the settings to what you prefer. Hold down the Alt key and the "Done" button will change to a "Remember" button. Click it and then save your image. The settings will be saved and you do not have to run PSE as an administrator again.

Export PDF as JPEG fails with Adobe Save for Web AI Error

Hello,
We have an Illustrator Javascript program to convert a PDF file to a JPEG. It does some adjustments along the way, but I have boiled the script down so it just opens the PDF file, then uses the export method to export it to a JPEG file. The problem is the JPEG conversion is failing. When I run with user interaction layer set to DONTDISPLAYALERTS, as I normally do, it silently fails and continues; I do not get an exception, and the export method does not have another way to return an error. When I do display alerts, I get a dialog box saying:
Adobe Save for Web AI Error
Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
It looks like this:
What's weird is if I open the same PDF file in Illustrator and select File / Export it works fine. I do get this error though if I select File / Save for Web & Devices. I'm not sure why the export method would do a Save for Web though.
The code looks basically like this:
// Set filename, docName, destFolder
file = new File(filename);
sourceDoc = app.open(file);
var fileSpec = new File( destFolder + "/" + docName +"_LARGE");
var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
var type = ExportType.JPEG;
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type );
For testing purposes, I have shortened the code so it is that, with the variable setting code above.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
------Scott.

I have not tested exporting without passing any options. You have however created a variable to an empty options object but not passed it.
did you also try…
app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

PSE6 Mac OS - Save For Web won't save JPEG high res setting in Preset

Why is it that, contrary to documentation, Save For Web won't remember that I always select JPEG High for every photo file I save? Each time, it comes up as "Custom" Low quality, and can't even remember that I want JPEG format. My reliable old copy of PSE 2 that I've used happily for six years was capable of remembering what I wanted out of Save For Web. There are always surprises with new Adobe versions, I just wish there were some good ones once in a while...

I tried on my mac machine with PSE 6 and saved one file as PNG-24 and some settings. I saved the file.
next time when i opened any other image and tried using save for web, the previous settings were remembered.
So, i m not sure if the issue you facing is common to all.

Is it possible to run a Save for Web Batch?

I am trying to run a batch on a bunch of ai files to save them as JPEG using Save For Web & Devices (so they can be saved with certain settings).
I record a Save For Web action and then try to run a batch, but the batch just hangs at the Save For Web Dialog and waits for me to hit one of the Save/Cancel/Done buttons before continuing. Is there a way around this to get this so it can be a true batch process and not require me to interact with it?
Thanks

Ahh! That was it! Well, part of it.
Now I got it saving, but I can't seem to override the target directory using the batch, but thats ok.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS4 Save for Web JPEG Colors are Off

Ok, I've scoured the web to see about finding a solution for this and tried every possible option and still I'm coming up empty handed. I have a website that I'm developing for a painter and have an image converted to sRGB, and the colors are where I want them to be. I use Save for Web, and every iteration suggested online for the, embed and don't embed, convert to sRGB and dont' covert, use document color profile, use windows, yada yada. Here's a recent example:
when i preview the image with Firefox, here's the difference:
The photoshop version is on the left and is the color that I want/need. The image on the right is firefox and saturated. If I save for web with embedded profile, safari is accurate, whereas firefox is saturated, so it's obviously discarding the icc and using some color space that I can't see in my file. I did notice that if I have my Custom, Proof and select Monitor RGB, then I can see what firefox will ultimately display and also what Safari will display if i have Embed ICC Profile unchecked in the save for web dialogue box.
I know that CS2 and CS3 were easier and less squirrely with color managing web files, but I think CS4 has some juju under the hood. Am I the only one out there frustrated, or like other web developers just accept the inaccuracy and move on? Since this is fine art, I'm doing my best to dial the color in, but it's been all afternoon beating on this.
Any ideas, I'm ready to install CS3 and see if my life will be easier, but I'm wondering if having Photoshop CS3 and CS4 will cause any issues.

>> your logic
That's my rant and I'm sticking to it.
The OP wrote he doesn't want or need to discuss the pros and cons of embedding profiles in Web images, but for the sake of anyone else reading this:
1) Embedded ICC Profiles increase file sizes (about 4K per image).
a) I may have over 100 thumbnails and dozens of photos on one page,
b) Plus, I may have an image sliced into many pieces.
c) That additional 4k per image, per slice, will add up fast and may kill dial-up traffic.
2) Very few computers use color-managed web browsers or calibrated monitors anyway, and
3) Problems with matching/blending image's edges or background color with a filled box or page color.
d) If I tag the image — on Mac colormanaged browsers — the color will mismatch the box/page color on managed browsers because the tagged image is being Converted to MonitorRGB, and the untagged page or box color is having MonitorRGB Applied.
e) This matching or blending a pixel-based graphic to page color is a pretty big deal to do correctly in professional web publishing.
f) If I publish untagged sRGB images/graphics, the box/page color will match the images and blend correctly in all browsers.
I WILL QUALIFY my general recommendation about embedding profiles in pixel-based web images for the following reasons:
1) You are posting fine-art images, creative portfolios, and are not worried about adding 4K additional data per image, per slice.
2) You are not worried about having Mac visitors seeing graphic blends or photos mismatched to a background color.
3) You understand only properly-profiled monitors and color-managed web browsers will benefit from your embedded profile — and it is likely 99% of web surfers don't have either — however, if you are targeting the one percent who do, then there is your number one best reason for tagging web photos with embedded profiles.

Save for web as PNG-24 with slices is saving in JPEG format!

Hello all.
I'm using Photoshop Extended CS6 13.0.1 x64 and when I save for web as PNG-24, all the slices from the project, the final result are JPEG format pictures. I tried the same but exporting as GIF and it keeps saving as JPEG. I tried Save As instead of Save for Web and it works, but this way I'm not saving by slice and not for web.
Any idea why this happens?

Found the solution. I had to select all the slices.

How to set default preset for Save for Web

Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.
Is it possible to change the default preset. If so, how.
Thank you

Is save for web in JPEG format lossless when quality is 100%?

I am trying to figure out if I can reduce optimised JPEG sizes further than what Photoshop can offer.
My boss has recently questioned whether the file sizes can be reduced using lossless JPEG's further than the sace for web function in photoshop.
From what I can make of it, lossy is the option on GIF files, and therefore I am assuming that the optimisation is lossless for a JPEG at 100 percent quality and lossy when the quality is reduced?
I just want to clarify that I am saving images for the web at the smallest size I can without losing too much quality.
All the images I save are 450px wide @ 75 dpi, but vary in length from 800px high to 1500px high, but have to be saved under 100kb.
Can anyone clarify the lossless and lossy in JPEG format in save for web?
Thanks
Ray

As c. says above, JPEG is a lossy compression - there is no lossless JPEG.
PNG 24bit offers lossless compression, that is it performs compression analogous to a zip archive, whereas JPEG works by (in extremely lay terms) building a new image that resembles the original.
GIF and PNG exports let you reduce the number of colours to get better compression - there are fewer pixel differences to compress at 8bit colour depth. Hence a 16 colour PNG will have a vastly smaller file size than a 24bit PNG, and depending on the image may be much smaller than a similar quality JPEG.
Depending on how far off your 100KB ceiling you are, you may be able to improve your file exports by cleaning up the source image - reduce noise and if possible explore exporting as 8bit pngs with fewer colours - avoid using diffusion or noise in the export options. Find the balance between acceptable file size and image quality... photographs tend to be the hardest thing to compress because there's so much detail data, especially in darker (low light) areas.

Blurry smart objects in Photoshop Save for Web jpegs

I create graphs, etc in Illustrator, place them as Smart Objects in a master Photoshop file before outputing Save for Web jpegs to use as PowerPoint slide backgrounds. Everything created in Illustrator or Photoshop through that process (Quality 80 or 100 with any of the SfW options on or off) Save for Webs are blurry when imported (at 100%) into PowerPoint. The only way I have been able to get anything crisp in PowerPoint was saving a Photoshop pdf. However, that was only the text created in Photoshop. The Illustrator Smart Object part was still blurry. Anyone have any idea on the best process to combine Photoshop and Illustrator files into one file for import into PowerPoint as a clean, crisp background? At this point I am open to all suggestions.

There are parts that are being added in Photoshop, hence going from Illustrator through Photoshop as a Smart Object and then onto PowerPoint. If I wasn't 5 months down the line and just nearing deadline, I would recreate everything in Illustrator. Assuming that I have to continue at this point down the Illustrator through Photoshop line of working, how do you designate pngs or jpegs to be 220ppi. Jpegs have a 1-12 quality (and 12 is still blurry).
Note regarding PowerPoint, I embed the full-page image into the background so others that are using this can't move (by accident or on purpose) the background.

Image resize quality not saved in Save For Web Preset?

L.S.,
I have been working on an Action to create 12 separate PNG's for further use in my icon-software. What I do is basically this:
Start out with a 256x256px image, save it for web four times in steps from 256, 48, 32 and 16px, (32-bit)
apply some masks / layers, save it for web again four times from 256-16px, (8-bit)
set the mode to indexed colour / apply other masks and layers, and save it for web again from 256-16px. (4-bit)
I let the sizing be done in the Save for Web step.
The 256-sized pics give me no problem as they are not scaled down.
The 32-bit pics give me no problem as they are scaled down, and antialias comes along, but they have 8-bit transparency: no problem.
In the 8-bit and 4-bit versions from 48-16px, I definitely want no antialias in the sized down versions. So I set the resize quality to 'Nearest Neighbor'.
However, Photoshop seems not to be able to remember different resize qualities in one Action.
In every Save for Web-action that I do, when I set it to resize, it does so. But the resize quality is not taken from the setting. It seems to be taken from the last used or recorded setting.
That is pretty annoying, because:
- When I let the downscaled ones of the first 4, be downscaled 'bicubic sharper'
- And I let the downscaled ones of the second 4, and third 4, be downscaled 'nearest neighbor'
Next time I run the Action, all downscaling is done by 'nearest neigbor'. That ruins my downscaled 32-bit icons - they get jaggy.
If I alter the steps in the action manually and set the first ones to 'bicubic sharper' again, suddenly all downscaled ones are done by 'bicubic sharper'.
That ruins my downscaled 8-bit and 4-bit icons: they get antialias, to lime green, and that shows...
I can save Presets in the Save For Web dialog, but as the groupbox already tells me: these presets only apply to the Image quality parameters, not to the sizing parameters. Those seem to be taken from the last run.
I have one alternative to this: before every Save for Web step, I downsize the image myself, and undo the history step after saving. It's quite some work and I would just rather see that the sizing parameters saved in the Preset!

That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no).

Psd turn into JPEG prewiews after save for web. Help!

save for web>save>save optimised as>save>close. That gives me a jpeg (the previous was a psd), but in the form of a preview thumbnail, top right corner bent, loupe and "JPEG" on it. I did about 20 psd just fine,ending in the folder as jpg images, keeping their previous names and the new "jpeg" underneath. What happened?
Not less odd, as I was shrinking the folder window, (bring in the bottom right corner, but this is probably not related), all the previous ones (the jpeg images) turned into preview icons, too. By moving the cover flow, they turned back into images, and by moving them again, they turned back into jpeg
icons, this time, not with the loupe and the photos, but with 3 geometrical shapes on them. If I bring them back into Ps CS3 and save for web again, and then close, I get a "save changes to the jpeg document?" question,>save, which gives me a regular save as window, and they stay images, and I could end the problem like that, but that might cancel the previous save for web. Help! goodnight now.

I guess I have been sending all along (my almost 2 years of photoshop) inflated pictures of images (which however I take the care of reducing to 1000
pixels from the original 4000 something that they originally are). What's odd for you guys, and normal for me, is that the computer went back to turning
out "normal" .jpg images, in small characters, like it has been doing all along, as if it went on a freaky spree yesterday, and I will probably go along with it, just because i don't know how to provoke deliberatly the JPEG with the loupes which appeared breafly yesterday, and that I am supposed to expect.
I don't have any third party add on (do you mean plug in?) Only GF, sitting there, unused for a year.
Of course now i am intrigued: Marion: what do you mean by :"this may be affected by normal Finder settings" ? Any settings that i can control to get those JPEG with loupes that I should expect all the time?
Thanks everybody, i'll just leave the thread open for a bit in case somebody wants to shed some more light on my state of confusion.

PSE 7 - Save for Web - Now Defaults to GIF - Prefer JPEG - Can I change it?

When using PSE 7.0 File > Save for Web, I generally want the files to be JPEGs. In previous versions, the file format on this menu would stay at JPEG once you set it there. Now, each time I open the menu it returns to GIF. Is there a way to have it default or hold as a JPEG in that field?
Thank you!
Beverly

Is there a competing program that is as good as PSE that I could try? I am having a few annoying problems with this program and I think it is time to try something else. I was really excited to use the Photoshop family of photos, but these three problems are getting me down:
1) I hate that the save for web function defaults to .gif. It is really annoying. The fact that they have a tool to fix it yet that doesn't even work makes me even more bummed out.
2) When I try to go from the organizer to the editor, it literally takes about 20 seconds for the photo to load. That is a big waste of time.
3) Sometimes, when I am in the quick edit mode, the zoom feature doesn't work. Other times, the cropping feature doesn't work. I click it back to the full edit, and those functions work. It is odd.
It isn't like I am trying to split the atom here. I am relatively computer savvy, and all I want to do is edit photos. I have had many problems like this with the previous version as well as the latest one.

Save For Web & Devices GIF Preset options

In PS CS3, when saving for Web & Devices as a GIF, there's the default Preset of "[Unnamed]" with various drop down options such as GIF 128 Dithered, GIF 128 No Dither, 64, 32, GIF Restrictive, etc. I'm looking for the highest quality GIF. What should I use? Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I am using the images on a website that are somewhat larger than thumbnail size so it's not real critical. I know that generally GIFs are preferable for logos and text and JPGs for photo like images. These are a mix of art images and text. I don't know much about PNG though I notice in the GIF Save for Web & Devices drop down there are also options for PNG-24 and PNG-8 128 Dithered.
Bottom line, I'd like to know which is the best quality GIF save option of these and then I can decide between that and a JPG.

Is it possible to ignore "Rigid relationships between attributes cannot be changed" when using ProcessUpdate for Dimension?

As per the title is it possible to ignore "Rigid relationships between attributes cannot be changed" when using ProcessUpdate for Dimension?
We have a case where very rarely an item might have been miscategorised so the brand is manually changed. We want this dimension to be rigid to speed up ProcessUpdate.
We do a ProcessFull each night, so it will get corrected then, but during the hourly updates we would just like to ignore this error if possible?

Hello,
The rigid relationship should be defined when the members will not change over time. Here are some threads regarding rigid relationship for your reference, please see:
