Photoshop CS5 slow Save for Web (Win 7, 64 bit)

Hi.
I have problem with save for web in PS CS5 (12.0.1). It is extremely slow. For example selecting anything from menus takes couple of seconds. I deleted PS preferences files but that didn't help.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks.
My system is Win7 x64, Intel i7 930, 8gb RAM.

Nothing should be slow on a machine like yours.
Some possible suspects:
Make sure you have updated your video drivers from the web site of the maker of your video card.
Check what other software you have running on your computer.  How many processes are running?  Have you installed tons of "handy" stuff?  All that takes resources.
See if you are having system errors by looking in the Windows System Event Log.

  • Photoshop CS5.5 Save For Web UI extra border Bug

    I have observed on two different Win7 32bit workstations with Photoshop 12.1 x32 from Adobe Design Premium CS 5.5 that save for web seems to add an extra pixel of workspace background grey to the inside black border of the image display on the right and bottom edge.  It's very annoying to see this extra padding in the image since it makes me second guess whether my image crop was accurate.  Please see the screenshot below which was taken of a completely red image in the save for web dialogue window.  Notice the top and left border of the image don't have the same problem.  I've also used a screen magnifier utility (pixie) to make the issue more obvious.  Fortunately the issue seems only to affect the UI, the file that is saved doesn't have the extra pixels included.  I hope this issue can be verified and reproduced here so that it can be fixed in future updates.
    Thanks!

    FYI, just to test I just did a crop of an image, then screen grabbed the result.
    To ensure the edge is visible, I changed the workspace background from the dark gray I usually use to a lighter gray...  Here's the pertinent part of the workspace...
    A closeup of the upper-right corner:
    Notably, I don't see any black line around it like you showed.  This leads me to wonder whether I interpreted your screen grab properly...

  • Photoshop equivalent to "save for web"??

    Hello,
    I'm trying to organize all my photos into iphoto6. A problem I'm running into is sharing out (to the web/email) these massive 1.5 meg pix. The export feature doesn't give too many options for adjusting quality and playing with file size/quality ratios as you can in photoshop via the "save for web" feature. Photoshop, however, is extremely mind numbing in that you can't quickly batch convert multiple files. I'm wondering if I should learn to live with the limited optimizing functionality in iphoto's export feature or is there possibly an alternative that will allow me to batch convert multiple large pix files into web optimized, good looking .jpgs? If there is such an app, I'm also curious to hear organization strategies between the two apps.
    Thanks in advance! best, Steve

    There are a number of free applications that you can try. Three are freePhotoConverter 3.5, Resize! and iReSize. You can find all of them at VersionTracker.com by searching for resize. They offer quality level settings, size, etc.

  • Does photoshop elements enable save for web for a batch of photos?

    does photoshop elements enable save for web or ready for web for a batch of photos ?

    Hi Patonabike,
    You can batch save images as jpeg, png, tiff etc. using Process Multiple Files. This feature will even allow you to batch resize them (as long as they are the same orientation and aspect ratio). However, the resulting images may be larger than what you would get if you individually did 'Save for Web' because 'Save for Web' removes the photo's exif data (and Process Multiple Files won't).
    With that said, it depends how you are editing your images and the results you are looking for, if you just want to rescale them or batch edit them - this is one way.
    Hope it helps!

  • CS5's save for web size preview is lying to me. Help!

    So I just downloaded Photoshop CS5. For my work I need to save images through the Save for Web and I need to save it at a certain file size as a jpg. I change the percentage to get it just at right size (75K or 25K) and then hit save. Then when I look at what I have just saved its way bigger than the preview claimed it would be. Like 10K-20K larger. I've unchecked the metadata but it still happens. (I even think it getting worse, but that could be because I am frustrated) How can I get the preview size displayed to be accurate?
    Thanks.

  • Very Slow Save for Web in CS3 Mac

    I have Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1 running on a 2.16GHz Intel MacBook running 10.4.11 with 2Gb of installed RAM and around 30% free hard disk space.
    Regardless of file size or dimension, Save For Web is painfully slow to load and to save out. Optimized previews update quick enough when settings are changed, but everything else about Save For Web feels like wading in treacle.
    Anyone else got this problem? It would be good just to know that I'm not the only one with this issue!
    Any ideas for fixes?

    >My hatred of laptops has NOTHING to do with Photoshop
    And my commentary had nothing to do with your hatred. The OP is all about Photoshop usage on laptops, and I am quite experienced using PS on laptops. When I said
    >Note that older laptops like Ramón mentioned would not run PS...
    I was just discussing the OP.
    For the record I am not a proponent of using laptops or even the stronger iMacs as desktop tower replacements for heavy graphics users. I have consistently recommended in favor of towers and long life cycles and I will continue to do so.
    However for the last six months or so I have frequently been using a C2D Macbook Pro as a desktop replacement and I can report unequivocally that it works, especially power-wise, which is what the OP was about. Also based on that experience and also unequivocally I consider using MBPs or the similarly limited iMacs for production graphics work inadvisable.
    Strong laptops are incredible machines. They open mobile computing usages that can be of great benefit to many folks, enough benefits that I for one will always have a laptop as one of my computers. The ability to literally do any computing task (except volume graphics production) anywhere is pretty spectacular.
    Photo capture, edits and presentation in the field is of huge benefit. Even with something as mundane as this forum communication the ability to do it sitting in the living room instead of sequestered in an office is IMO a good thing.

  • Photoshop CS4 corrupt save for web plugin

    Hi
    I've been having problems with my save for web function freezing, so I deleted my preferrences , settings, accidently deleted my save for web plugin. The save for web then greyed out if I tired to save for web any type of document. I moved my save for web plugin from my trash back into the plugin folder. Photoshop save for web was still greyed out. I then restarted my computer and the save for web is still greyed out.
    Any sugessions on what I can do to activate "save for web" again would be much appreciated.
    I  think it's the plugin that's corrupt, I can't find the photoshop cd to  reinstall it.
    Has anyone got the MAC CS4 Photoshop "save for web plugin"  (Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web  CS4/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS4 Prefs) that they could send me.
    This is my CS4 Plugin (it was like this before I accidently deleted it), my collegue's cs4 plugin doesn't look anything like this and doesn't work for me either):
    Thanks very much
    Abi

    Sorry I meant my collegue's cs5 plugin.
    I've read  quite a few posts on this subject and other people have got their friend  to send them their plugin and they've inserted it onto their computer  and it fixed the problem. But I don't know anyone who has photoshop cs4  on a mac.

  • Photoshop CS6. Save for Web Problem - Don't remember folder location

    Hi!
    Found one more problem with Save For Web in Photoshop CS6.
    Example:
    1. New Document
    2. Choose - Save for web
    3. In dialog window Photoshop CS6 offer to save in - os My Document Folder
    4. Ok, every time I don't really need to save in os folders - I save files to my folders. So, change folder ...for example to disc D
    5. Create another New document
    6. Choose Save for web
    7. And.... - Photoshop CS6 offer to save my file in os My Documents AGAIN !!!
    So, in fact it's real uncomortable!!! ...if I save different files for web frequently ....I need every time change My Documents....it makes me nervous.......
    Here - compare with CS3: CS3 remember "old" folder location even at another session (for example - after reload os)
    Is there any fix this problem?
    p.s. Testing on:
    OS - windows 7 64 bit
    cs6 - 64 bit extended
    cs3 - 64 bit extended

    Noel, Yes! In your example everything works like on your video. May be my explanation was not so clear, so...I'm trying to describe in more details.
    I don't know how to make video & animated gif by capture the screen...so I'll try to explain by words
    1. Start CS6
    2. Make New Document
    3. Save for Web (save parametres are: JPEG, HIGH etc....I think it doesn't matter)
    4. CS6 offer "My Documents"
    5. Change the way to "Disc D"
    6. Save it by name for example "Untitled-1".... & close window "Save for web"
    7. Choose "Save for Web" again
    ....So, at this step - CS6 remember my current location "Disc D" even I open other file & use command "Save for web"...it saves to Disc D. Everything is ok.
    ....continue:
    8. Shut down the CS6
    9. Run it again
    10. Create new file or....even open saved file on disc D in previous session - "Untitled-1"
    11. Save for Web
    So, it's final: CS6 offer the "My documents" AGAIN
    ....continue:
    12. Run CS6 - Make New File - Save for Web to disc D by name "Untitled-1"
    13. Keep the photoshop session & create new document...let's call it "Untitled-2" - so, now I have 2 files opened in CS6: "Untitled-1" (it was saved on disc D before) & new "Untitled-2"
    14. So if I'll try to save second file "Untitled-2" fo web CS6 offer the way "My documents" AGAIN!
    p.s. Tryied to do the same on CS3 - Shut down CS3 2-3 times, opened different files, create new docs - there's no trouble. In global - CS3 remember last way (in my case it's "Disc D") & doesn't change it by itself. In fact working in CS3 I din't feel any problems with this command "Save for Web", that's the reason I didn't write any questions on forums etc..... But starting to try CS6 I really feel it makes the work to change every time the folder ways not so comfortable...so I wrote the question here
    p.s. 2    In spite of I didn't work in CS4-CS5 cause it were not comfortable in my opinion....now I wanted to  test "save for web" in CS5. Trouble is the same even during one session:
    1. Run CS5
    2. Create new document
    3. Save for web - CS5 offer "My Dociment", change it to "disc D" - save - ok
    4. Shut down, run CS5 again
    5. Create New, or even Opened old saved file to disc D (for example from step 3) - CS5 offer the way "My documents" again
    I hope this my explanation was more clear to understand

  • CS5.1 Save for Web & Devices not responding

    I was turning a mov. file into a gif. When I was finished I went to save for web & devices and after it finished loading... the gif couldn't be seen but a coral pink box took the space. Then I get a message stateing that Adobe CS5.1 is not responding... Then it closes down the program. I'm able to make other gifs. Even ones with more frames.They all turn out to be fine. It's just this certain one I try to make that always ends up closeing down the program. The file size is 248MB and the gif I'm trying to make only needs 91 frames. I'm so confused. I even used the same mov. file and made a different gif from it and it worked perfectly! I've tried reinstalling but that didn't fix anything.
    So hopefully someone out here will have some helpful information on how to fix this. Thanks!

    What dimensions does the image have?
    And what does

  • CS4 PS crash in 64 bit Save for Web but not 32 bit - help!?

    Anyone got any ideas please on how to stop Photoshop CS4 crashing on Save for Web in 64 bit version of Windows 7?
    Running Windows 7, 64 bit Pro with both 64bit and 32bit versions of Photoshop CS4 installed.
    The problem: I design a website, add slices etc as I've done for the last 10 years, go to Save for Web and as the dialogue box is opening and the blue bar at the bottom starts to show it loading, it gets just over half way and then crashes, saying the error message 'Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working'. No solution available and then closes. Does this quite a few times (say 20-30%) of the time but not always. Tried the same PS document running 32bit version of Photoshop CS4 and it saves for web fine, never any crashes, only using the 64 bit version of PS. Need 64bit to take advantage of extra memory etc and one of the reasons the machine/ software combo was bought for.
    Running a brand new (well about a month or so) Dell T3500 dual Xeon W3505, 12gb ram, Nvidia Quadro Fx 3800, Raptor HD etc built to run Win 7 Pro and CS4 Extended. I suspect the spec isn't to blame, checked all the hardware etc, no plugins that arent standard with a new install, so no obvious reason I can tell of as to why its not working. Not much else installed and started playing up before I installed other bits of software so doent make sense it might be other software cauing any problems.
    Put a support query in and basically got told CS4 wasnt tested with 64 bit CS4 and directed to a possible support solution to 64 bit running on xp/ vista with general advice. No use whatsoever.
    Firstly, anyone else having the same problem? Secondly, anyone know how to solve this? If its any help, I've pasted the Action Center info on one of  the many crashes:

    The graphics card supports the new GPU features but tried with and without those turned on - still the same problem. Tried all sorts of preferences on and off but still no joy.
    Would really appreciate any help/ advice on solving this.
    Thanks.

    Been reading up on that c0000005 error and in all the Operating systems it is a access violation. There are a lot of hits about windows 7 and software not being allowed local access and be saved that way too. What I think is that windows 7 is not allowing it for some reason in 64 bit mode or some security setting in the local needs adjusting?
    I found this interesting fact
    I was reading where testors were monitoring how windows 7 firewall allows DRM to run in the firewall. All the software they tested asked first for firewall permission (my software on my system asked first so know it is true on my other system). However, according to the testers, with PS CS4 the DRM does not ask to run with firewall premission. Windows 7 just bypasses the asking part and PS CS4 DRM gets firewall access.
    Edit by me:
    Google the offset code and your the very first to report it.

  • Save for web in photoshop

    Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.
    The cellspacing, margins are set to 0. Still i can seem to nudge the page up and left to get rid of the gap.Visually if i left the BG white and my page was black It seems like if there was a margin set around the page about 4px  which gives me a white border around the whole page.
    I tryied this several times with diffrent psds to test so maybe its a option when exporting on Photoshop or an option when opening it in DreamWeaver??
    Thanks

    Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.
    The cellspacing, margins are set to 0.
    Have you set the body margins to 0:  (the following style rule goes into the head of the documen tor into a stylesheet if you are using one.
    body {
    margin: 0;
    padding:0;
    If you already have a style on the body (maybe a background color or background image, then just add the margin and padding rules to the current body in your stylesheet of the head of the document.
    Also:  make sure there are no stray <p> paragraph tags sitting above the table or the containing div.  These will of course a space above the table or the containing div.
    If none of the advice given helps, then please follow John's advice and upload all the site working files to a server and provide a link   :-)
    As you can see, without actualling seeing the code, it can only be a guessing game by the people trying to help you.

  • CS5 Save for Web won't let me save to Windows volume

    I have a Windows Server 2003 volume mounted through Services for Macintosh (AFP, not SMB, I'm pretty sure). Even though both the Mac and the Windows volume can independently handle filenames longer than 31 characters, because of SFM (I'm assuming) I have never been able to save directly out of any application to that Windows volume with a >31 char file name. This has never been a problem as I've kept my file names short.
    Having just installed CS5, however, Save for Web isn't letting me save any file, no matter how short the name: "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume." I can Save For Web just fine to my desktop and Save As... to the Windows volume, but not Save for Web to the Windows volume.
    The Save for Web is set to "Images Only" (not slices so it's only creating the one file).
    Any thoughts? Known issue?
    thanks.

    That might be part of what is going on (and doesn't look a thing like our internal filenames or anything else I recognize).
    Probably it's something internal to the save dialog (NavagationServicesSavePanel), and it assumes that filesystems will be able to handle long names.
    Again, using SMB to connect to the server may remove part of the restrictions.
    CS3/4 was based on Carbon, and used different APIs for much of the file work.
    CS5 moved to Cocoa, and has a new set of file APIs to deal with.

  • Is CS5 Save for Web not 64-bit?

    I got a memory warning when trying to do a Save for Web with a 5K image. I was going to reduce it there. Is Save for Web limited to 32-bit RAM addressing?

    5k? in resolution? so 5000 pixels high or wide?
    If yes, you got this warning in all earlier versions to, as the Save for Web is not intended for these sizes of images. If only 5k file size there is a problem.

  • How to save for web AND overwrite original files with Action?

    Hello,
    I want to compress a batch of images with "save for web" using a Photoshop Action, and I also want to preserve my folder structure and overwrite source files. The structure is important because it's complex and needs to be structured this way.
    The Problem:
    When I choose "save for web", I must define a destination. What happens is all optimized files from within the structure are saved in a single location.
    Here's an example of the folder structure
    Folder A
         - Subfolder A1
         - Subfolder A2
    Folder B
         - Subfolder B1
         - Subfolder B2
              -Subfolder B2.2
    Folder C
         -Subfolder C1
    Summary
    Is it possible for me to use a Photoshop Action with "save for web", and overwrite my files without moving them from the structure?

    No need to re-invent the wheel.
    Just learn how to use the Image Processor, Image Processor Pro, or Dr. Brown's Services 1-2-3 in Photoshop and/or Bridge.
