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

  • 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?

  • Possible bug in Illustrator CS4 text anti-aliasing in Save for Web and Devices

    Hello all,
    This could be a bug... if so, I'd be happy to add it to Wade's bug list a few messages down the stream.
    Here's what's happening: when I create small text using a very thin font (in this case, Helvetica Neue Light), the Pixel Preview gives a noticeably different anti-aliasing solution to the actual output from Save for Web & Devices. I'm attaching an original .AI file as well as a screenshots of what I'm getting in both situations.
    I'd really prefer the Save for Web and Devices output to look exactly like the Pixel Preview. The font looks great in Illustrator but loses a lot of its punch when I Save for Web.
    ---Peter

    In the Svae for Web and Device  under the image tab where it says art Optimize that is a drop down menu select Type Optimize as such
    htis is what it lloks like in AI and a browser when you choose Type Optimize
    This the difference between Art Optimized and Type Optimize
    That is what is happening to you you are selcting Art Optimize and that is the reason when you choose art optimize aqnd you rraster the image it looks right to you.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Save for Web and Device Grayed menu grayed out

    Using Photoshop 11.0.1 (CS4) and Mac OSX 10.5.6), I have an action that saves a retouched file first as a high quality jpg and then as a optimized jpg for the web. It has worked fine in the past, but today when running the action I received a warning that the Export command was not available. I tried manually exporting the using the Save for Web and Devices menu item, but it is grayed out and not available. The file is sized to 1024 pixels on the longest side, no layers and in 8 bit mode.
    So far I have done the following:
    Trashed the Save for Web preference file
    Repaired permissions
    Scanned for viruses
    Rebooted the system
    Any other ideas short of a reinstall?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Save for Web and Devices (Illustrator style?)

    Ive used the slice tool to mark out the images for exporting
    from my Fireworks document.
    Does Fireworks have a 'Save for Web and Devices' feature like
    Illustrator does? I want to have the 4-up display where you can see
    the original image and file size in one section and use the others
    to vary the JEPG/ GIF settings to get the best combination of file
    size and image quality. I want to be able to save different
    settings for each slice (as you can do in Illustrator).
    I cant find this feature but it seems weird that a web image
    optimization program wouldn't have it. I tired opening my file with
    Illustrator and Photoshop but the slices wernt imported aswell.
    Ive got CS3, is this option in CS4?
    thanks

    FW bypasses the extra step used by PS and AI. In the main FW
    window,
    choose 4-Up. Select the slice you want to optimize and set
    your
    optimization settings via the Optimize panel. Everything bu
    the selected
    sliced will be screened back a bit, so you focus on the
    active slice. It
    will change on screen as you alter the optimize settings.
    If you want to optimize several slices using the same
    settings,
    shift+click to select them.
    When you're done, choose File > Export. Make sure to set
    Images Only as
    your Export option and in the Slices field choose Export
    Slices. If you
    want all slices exported, make sure that Export Selected
    Slices is NOT
    checked.
    If you don't want unsliced areas also exported, also make
    sure Include
    areas without slices is not checked.

  • 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
    T

    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.

  • "save for web and devices" problem

    Hello
    I am running photoshop cs4 on windows vista
    When I click on file>save for web and devices, a message appears saying "the operation cold not be completed"
    This happens for small files and large files
    Can anyone tell me how to overcome this problem please?
    Thanks
    Reg

    Hi again, rego.
    I did a bit of searching and someone had a similar problem as you where simply deleting the pref file via key command didn't work. A user suggested to first zip the Save for Web preferences and then delete the preferences. I am not sure what zipping the file does but basically they are suggesting delete the preferences manually.
    So try zipping the save for web preferences file and then delete it. After this is done, restart Photoshop and see if it helps. To find where the Save for Web preferences are, refer to this page:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405012.html
    EDIT: I am not sure if I was clear about the process suggested in the other post. For clarification, the suggestion is to zip the Save for Web preferences file and then delete the zipped file of the Save for Web preferences.

  • "Save for web and devices" missing in File menu

    In Illustrator CS5, Win 7, "Save for Web and devices" is missing, ever since recently installed. A reinstall with all defaults does not fix it. Nor does deleting the Adobe "Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder. The File menu entry is not grayed out. It is missing. The applicaiton is up to date.
    (A) A clue is when opening Illustrator this error dialog appears: "Error loading plugins. DxfDwg.aip PNGFileFormat.aip". However, both files exist in the "Plug-ins\Illustrator Formats" folder.
    (B) Closing Illustrator and restarting gives a different error message: "Some plug-ins have been updated. You will need to relauch Illustrator for the changes to take effect."
    (C) Closing and restarting takes me back to (A).
    Web searches reveal this to be a perennial problem. There is, however, nothing in Adobe support about it I could find. This is a showstopper.
    Thanks!

    Larry,
    Thanks!
    No. I did a support call this morning. Reinstalls from a DVD and a
    download both failed to solve the problem. He did not suggest the
    cleaner step.
    I did check to see that Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator
    CS5.1 was empty after uninstalling AI 5. Then I deleted it.
    So what I've done is uninstalled AI CS5 again. Then I downloaded the
    cleaner. Here's what it says:
        "List of products installed on this machine:
        1. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Family
        2. Adobe Photoshop CS5
        3. Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5
        4. Clean All."
    It thus appears there is no way to clean just AI. So I quit the cleaner.
    I will report to the forum on how Adobe support fixes this problem. I'm
    now awaiting their reply on the case.
    Thanks so much. Wish I could help you!
    Jack
