Photoshop CC closes or freezes when saving in save for web and devices

Hello,
Since I have a new laptop with Windows 8, I couldn't get Photoshop CS6 anymore, so I downloaded PS CC.
It's working great the last days, but since yesterday PS freezes or closes everytime I try to save a .gif in save for web and devices.
It drives me insane...
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Trash the Save for Web prefs in the respective folder (C:\Progrom Files\Common Files\Adobe or your user home directory).

  • Error when trying to "Save for Web and Devices"

    Hello All,
    I have a little issue with Photoshop CS3 on the XP Pro platform.  I get the error when I try and "Save for Web and Devices".  This is the actual error.  "the exception unknown software exception"  uhh... lol
    I currently work for a school district.  I'm the Tech/Network Admin for the entire district.  We have a lab setup with some new PC's (As of last June)  They all have 2 gig of ram Core 2 Duo 2.4 ( I think).  Pretty good machines.  We currently have an image built for them so essentially they are all the same builds.  We recently just updated the image as of a month ago.  In talking with the teacher who does the tech classes in this lab, he recently ran into this problem as of a week ago.
    We are a Novell based campus.  Zen 7 support pack 7 I think as well.  We do however lock down the machines.  Dynamic Local users.  Everything gets pulled off the machine when the user logs out.  Now I do sort of think that this issue is related to some type of policy we're pushing down because when we use our "Tech" account which does have local admin rights to the PC we don't get an error.  We haven't modified the policies here in quite a while.  School is almost over and we'd like to relax for a bit and not cause any problems.  LoL
    And in fact all the PC's in our High School have this issue.  And currently we have about 3 different models not including the one I listed above.  Any advice is much appreciated.  Cause I'm pretty stuck on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Save for web and devices saves its own prefs to retain the last active settings. When it can't do that, it will fail. You may wish to grant write permissions to the Documents and Settings\App Data\Adobe\ Save for Web folder. The same applies to Device Central...

  • Photoshop stalls on Measuring memory & save for web and devices

    Mac OS X 10.6.4
    MacBook Pro
    CS4 Photoshop Extended
    Hey there,
    I would be grateful if anyone can shed any light this problem which has occured out of nowhere.
    I'm a web designer so this problem is causing chaos at the moment. When I try to save an image for 'web and devices' - I will get to the 'save for web and devices' window but then Photoshop 'freezes'. It doesn't seem to make a difference on file size big or small - Photoshop just freezes up. Sometimes Photoshop wont do it instantly, I will be able to save about 3 - 4 files and then it will freeze up. The only way to re-start the process is to force quit the application and start again.
    However sometimes when I re-start Photoshop, the application will hang on 'measuring memory' instruction on the start up panel - where I then have to force quit and sometimes re-start my machine. This whole process is obviously very time consuming and a right pain.
    Just for info I have played around in the Preferences - just to see if changing the 'memory usage' would have any effect - this doesn't seem to of made a difference. I currently have the setting at 2211mb (71%) which is within the ideal range (1689-2211mb).
    Any guidance or help would be most grateful.
    Cheers

    Definitely – it may or may not help but it’s easily done (command-alt-
    shift on starting the program).
    Though it is somewhat annoying having to recreate the Preferenes-
    settings one has changed and getting the Tools back to the preferred 
    settings.
    If you should trash your prefs just don’t forget to save your custom 
    Presets (Brushes, Patterns etc.) before.

  • When I save for web and device in Illustrator, I see all the pixels... What is wrong?

    I have created a vector image. When I save for web and device in Illustrator, the image does not come out clear even if I'm saving the image the same size as the artboard. I can see the coutours (pixels)... I've opened the file on another computer and everything is perfect. What is wrong on my computer?
    I have reinstalled the program and did all the updates. What else can I try?
    Thank you!

    So that you know next time that option is no longer available so to speack it is now under a dropdown wiht the default none then Type Optimized or Art Optimized in CS 5 and operhaps CS 4 as well

  • Trying to not save artboard when exporting or using save for web and devices

    Hello,
    I am using AI CS5 and I am trying to save a logo that is on an 8.5 x 11 artboard.  When I try to export or 'save for web and devices', I am getting the entire artboard to be saved - not just the logo like I want.  I have never had this issue in CS3, and just started using CS5 so I am not sure if there is a new feature that I need to be turning off to just save the logo instead of the entire 8.5x11 page.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Kristie

    Thanks!  It was under the object - slice.  You've saved my sanity

  • Saving Sliced files in Illustrator CS6 like it was in CS5 "Save for web and devices" gone?

    Hello,
    I used to save all my slices in CS5 and it would give me the option to save for web and devices, then when I was in there it would let me choose the option at the bottom Other... then I could go in and save it as a html and images and then it would automatically make div's for me when I brought it in to dreamweaver.  Where did this option go in CS6?  Can someone help I am on a big deadline, and I lost all my work transfering it back into cs5 to try it there like I used to.  Attached is a .png to show what I mean.
    Thank you,
    DariusB
    These options are not here in CS6 and I cant find it.  I would really appreciate the help.
    Thanks again.

  • When i 'save for web and devices' in illustrator, the resulting jpg is cropped

    Has anyone run into this before?  I'm trying to 'save for web and devices" in illustrator, but the resulting jpg doesn't show the whole artboard.  its cropped off some of the top and bottom.  my file is a simple box with text inside.  no other graphical elements of any kind. 

    Thanks Monika.  I have a 3.25x3" artboard that has just text on it.  I selected "save for web and devices" and the preview window shows the artboard smaller than actual size so some of the text is cut off or pushed to the edge.  I saved it just to see what would happen and the resulting file is just as was with the preview.  I also tried doing a 'save as' for the jpg and same result.  Oddly, I outlined the artboard with a box and the jpg came out fine.  Any ideas?

  • Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 crash when Save for Web and Devices (Mac)

    Hi baffled with this.
    When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
    HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I had this happen before so under the advice of Adobe I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
    So my question now is why now?... what has triggered this AGAIN?...
    Hope you can help... anyone.
    Running:
    Mac OS X 10.6.6
    Mac Pro tower.
    Note:
    have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2
    have deleted all font caches
    have deleted everything... that could be related...
    HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder
    Please too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
    thanks

    If you use cocktail I suggest you get rid of it it can cause serious problems if you select the wrong settings, instead download ONYXwhich is free and will not harm your system or corrupt anything by deleting something you actually need.
    I hit the wrong setting using cocktail and it locked me out of all of the hard drives installed or connected to my Mac it is very dangerous. And I cannot imagine a reason for a setting that would protect your hard drives from yourself to the point of not recognizing your own password.
    I know it cost money and has advanced settings but having the ability to kill your system is crazy.
    Also to repair your permissions use the disk utility or ONYX as the permissions can become changed when installing software or if cocktail changes it locking you out of folders etc.

  • Photoshop CC is crashing regularly when I perform Save For Web function

    I'm finding that my Photoshop CC, running on Windows,  is continually crashing - most notably following a Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S command. Any ideas?

    Sounds to me like you may have the RAM allocation for Photoshop set too high. Press Ctrl-K to go to preferences and click on Performance. If your RAM is set higher than 70%, you'll need to lower it...close Photoshop and then reopen it so the new setting will take effect.
    The other thing that might be causing it is the size of the image, Save For Web is notorious (especially in older versions) for not playing nice with larger files. Try an image with a smaller pixel dimension and see if that helps. Since you are saving for web, it's advisable to resize the image before saving for the web.
    One last note - when installing CC on a Win 64 bit box, make sure that the desktop icon or task bar icon actually points to the 64 bit version of CC. Photoshop CC installs both the 32 and 64 bit versions.

  • Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

    I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

    Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

  • Strange quality issues when saving for web and devices.

    Im a UI designer and spend lots of time working with illustrator and photohop. When I design I normally create vector mockps of my work and then export slices using artboards and save for web and devices. Yesterday Illustrator started having problems exporting files. The files look good on my computer, when viewed with pixel preview mode but when i export they look really bad. here is an example:
    This is a screen shot of a part of a mobile app im working on at 100 % and 200 %
    here is the same area when exported using "save for web and devices" at 100% and 200%:
    as you can see there is a dramatic loss in quality. the icons look almost like a low color gif...
    Here is what I have tried already:
    I have tried changing the settings in the exporter. I normally use png 24 but I have tried all the different settings and they all do about the same thing. the only one that seems to look ok are swf and svg.
    I have copied my files over to photoshop and exported from there. that works fine but it is a pain.
    any help would be great.

    http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-vista-window s-7-support/235245-solved-error-1324-when-installing-applications.html
    Basically, go to this registry location:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\U ser Shell Folders
    & make sure that your current "my documents" sub folders are set to:
    My Music       REG_EXPAND_SZ         %USERPROFILE%\Music My Pictures    REG_EXPAND_SZ         %USERPROFILE%\Pictures
    My Videos      REG_EXPAND_SZ         %USERPROFILE%\Videos

    When I fixed my registry...this error went away & I had no problems with it anymore...please post this resolution on the website for others!

  • Cs3 Problems with saving for web and devices

    Lately, I have had a problem saving my files for Web and Devices and the problem I am having is that when I save the file it saves as a very pixelated version of the very crisp illustration I have created.  I can easily copy and paste the file from Illustrator into Photoshop and save it that way but I would much rather just save it in Illustrator.
    I am going to get the CS5 package shortly, however I wasn't sure if this problem would also continue in CS5.

    It should not be a problem in CS 3 either, definitely not in CS5.
    Try this
    PC
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings folder.
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    Also here should be a Save for the Web folder as well trash that also should be in the same directory.
    Mac
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    Also here should be a Save for the Web folder as well trash that also should be in the same directory

  • Slice and 'saving for web and devices' not saving all images in selected area

    Ive designed my site in illustrator and now im using slices and save for web and devices.
    When I save a slice as a jpeg or gif it saves the text and but not the background image behind it. I haven't locked the background image and all the content is on the same layer in illustrator so why is it doing this and how can I stop it?
    Thanks
    James

    Thanks for your reply.  Yes, my Photoshop CS5 is updated to 12.1.  I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and have tried viewing in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome with no improved success.
    I have been reading these forums for about 3 hours trying to find the answer to this question but am still at a loss.  I have found one article here: 
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7974006/overlapping-image-in-photoshop-splice-how-to-fl oat-with-css
    which explains using an "absolute" value in CSS to lock images in place.  I'm currently working in Dreamweaver to see if it's a common error in Photoshop when resizing browser but is easily fixed on the CSS side.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks!
