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.

How do I save an SVG via save for web?
I can't save for web to SVG format from illustrator CS6. The option isn't in the format list of the save for web dialogue; I only have gif, jpeg, png-8 and png-24. I am sure it used to be there, so where has it gone?
Have I got to do something in the process of setting up a new document?
TIA.Has it been removed from the 'Save for web' then?

PS CS6 action save for web error
In Photoshop CS6 actions when we save the image as JPEG through save for web it doesn't work when we run it, instead it runs and saves the image as HTML, i guess some error in it. I tried it again and again but it doesn't remember my save for web settings and saves the images as HTML.
It a new bug in CS6 though when you recorded the action you saved jpeg images to you desktop and you only entered file names onto the save for web action steps the action recorder recorded name.html. I replaced you save for web steps on my machine for my desktop and CS6 recorded name.html. I then did the same with CS5 though I only entered names CS5 recorded name.jpg.
If you expand the export steps tou will see the hard coded file names and extention
An action like this will always save the same files it can not be batch because you recorded Path and Names in the save for web steps. The .html files saved on with CS6 are actually jpeg files and if you rename them hrom name.html to name.jpg you can use them,

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 youThat faq from John R Ellis has not been updated, but may be useful:

Save for Web only let me save as jpg!
For some reason, I got a file that's only let me do Save for Web in jpg format. I choose png24, click save and it changes to jpg in the save dialog. Then I created a blank doc, copy everything from the problem file over to the new file and I can Save for Web in png just fine.
What's going on?In the save for web (SFW) dialog box you can see there are more than one slices. All the linked slices (grayed out) are set to save as JPG. Including slice 1. Therefore, the JPG extension mystery. If you drop down under "slices" after clicking the blue save button, and select "selected slices," you'll get a gif (if slice 3 is selected). Or change slice 1 to a gif in the SFW dialog box.

Illustrator CS2 "Save for Web" not functioning properly.
Illustrator CS2, OS X 10.4.11.
I am creating graphics for the Web with Illustrator CS2. When I go to Save for Web, the Save for Web window opens properly but the original graphics and type (even though the type is converted to outlines), become pixelated therefore my Web images are pixelated.
Attached is an example of a jpeg saved at maximum 100 quality.
I am not umderstanding why my originals become pixelated when doing Save for Web. It used to work until yesterday.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help?
Much appreciated and thanks in advance.Mom,
I figured there's nothing wrong with my native file as a co-worker did the same and Save for Web worked.So why is it that when I do Save for Web, the native file pixelates when previewing the "original"?
That's what I can't figure out. One minute it worked fine, the next... bang!
That, and gprobst also being save correctly, imply that there is something wrong with your preferences.
No time to wait for the server. Here is an extract of the most important part:
THE CURE:
Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the aiprefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding the settings was required.
From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the aiprefs file is not enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
1. Close Illustrator.
2. Make a Windows search including hidden files and folders and including subfolders for the folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version. There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to find the relevant one.
Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X],
From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings.
[X] is the version number; as standalone versions, CS (Creative Suite) is called 11, CS2 is called 12, and CS3 is called 13, but the version numbers with CS are used in the folder name.
3. Either:
a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
b) Move the whole folder to the Desktop.
With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier, especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue to 5 without delay.
5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is solved. -
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.

I have an odd "event" occurring when I go to save for web in photoshop. I'll attempt to make sense of it...
I am using CS3.
When saving to web, Photoshop automatically includes an additional image along with the one I am actually working on. The original image was downloaded a couple years ago from my camera, and has never gone through the save-for-web process. But now whenever i save an image for web, this phantom image is saved along with the desired image into whatever folder I am saving to. And, when I go to replace / update my desired image, I get the usual "replace file" dialog, along with the option to replace the "phantom" image file. I deselect the phantom image, but it has already been saved to file, from the intial save-to web process for my actual desired image. This happens over and over again, I am repeatedly deleting the phantom image from each successive project, but is continues to be automatically saved.
On top of that, the image is a rather creepy snapshot I took of an alien on TV with horizantal banding so that it looks like it is peeking through the blinds of a window.
I hope this doesn't read as weird as it seems but I would really like to not have to go around deleting this nuisance file.
thanks for any help.Check the output settings in the save for web dialog, under background.
When the output settings dialog appears, use the next button to cycle the
settings until see background, then if there is an image listed, highlight the
path and right click cut. Then press okay in output settings dialog.

Exporting animation using Save for Web and Devices problem
The animation plays as it should when the "Play" button is pressed at the bottom of the "Save for Web and Devices" Menu , but when I Preview it the individual frames don't disappear once they've shown , so you can see them all at the end of the animation . This is also how they save as a .gif ( although using the "Save as html" option reverts to looking as it should , each frame appearing and disappearing in turn) How do I save as gif without this happening?Many thanks for any help
Thanks! It was under the object - slice. You've saved my sanity

Poor image quality save for web
It doesn't matter whether i'm exporting from Ai or Ps or whether it's CS6 or CC. I have changed the raster settings in Ai and i've also tried all optimization options with all different export file types (jpg, png, gif) at all different quality settings. It doesn't matter if I start with an ai, eps, pdf, png... the export result is always poor quality.
I have tried exporting at 300ppi and that does fix the quality issue and bloats the file size, but this way (the export route) is so time consuming since you have to resize your artwork each time as well as the artboard so that it doesn't cut off pixels. Save for web never used to have these quality issues and it also never used to cut off pixels around the edges. These workarounds prove very time consuming and produce file sizes that are not ideal.
When i first noticed this issue I was using Mavericks with CS6 and since am using Yosemite and Creative Cloud.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create any bitmap or vector graphic in Ai or Ps, It doesn't matter whether you convert text to outlines or not
2. Save for web
3. View image in any application or browser to see poor quality and pixel trimming. Others running the same version and system are not having this issue, but I have checked many forums and found many others that do have this same issue but can't seem to find a solution.
Results:stair stepping, degradation, pixel trimming, general poor image quality
Expected results: Previously the save for web feature allowed for a decent quality imageFirst try the Cleaner. here's the link for CC but there exists one for Cs6 as well Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Everything I have read says that you kind of have to compromise file-size for quality. Could you post a screenshot of your settings?

So I sent them the original vector ai file and watched while they saved it the exact same way on their machine and the file looked fine on both of our machines/displays.
All of the settings they used appeared the same as what I used but with different results. I don't recall changing anything but does anyone know if there is some setting that could have been changed that is causing this issue? -
"Save for Web" feature suddenly grayed out
I have a Mac Notebook. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed (I know it's outdated but it meets my simple needs). I use Photoshop Elements mostly to save photos for my blog. I use the "save for web" feature everytime. However, when I tried using it earlier this week it is all of a sudden not available- the words are in gray and cannot be accessed. As far as I know I haven't done anything different than normal on my computer (I am a stay-at-home mom and use it only for my personal stuff) for this to happen. I took it off and re-installed it but that didn't help. Can anyone help?

If you didn't, there can be results as you describe them. As I said, I am not an expert, but online searching for the subject may help.

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.

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!
BeverlyIs 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.

Can't adjust anchor points of path when keyframes enabled...
I have an irregular shape layer that I'm warping over time (smaller to bigger). I'm able to adjust the anchor points of the path to the shapes I want-but once I set the two keyframes of the path that I'm interpolating with a slider, I am no longer ab
