A shortcut for frequent "save as jpg"?

Greetings. I very frequently save "jpg" (or "jpeg") version
of a PSD file I am working on. Is it possible to define a
shortcut to save as jpg?
Many thanks in advance,
HS

sure. create an action and assign a function key. or just use alt-f,a (file> save as).

I am a disabled user and I need keyboard shortcuts to program the software. Does anyone know the keyboard shortcut for 'Save link as' ? Very grateful for your help. Thanks. :)

I am using Windows 7 ultimate and Firefox 4. I tried Alt + enter which does not work.

There is no shortcut key for such context menu items. 
You can use the context menu key on the keyboard to open the right-click context menu on a link and press 'k' for the "Save Link As" item. 
You need to press the tab key until you arrive at that link.
You can set the pref browser.display.focus_ring_width to a higher value (I use 3) to make it easier to see which link has focus.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Save for Web or Save As Jpg for website

Saving photographs for my website. Files are big, 1140 pxls high (width varies with cropping/landscape or portrait). Because of the large size of the photographs on screen, I need a good quality file - minimal artifacting.
Is Save for Web (Tiff or PSD to Jpg) going to give me a smaller file size than Save As Jpg at a similar quality (compression) setting?
Website is Flash, so I'll strip the metadata, but in situations where I want to keep metadata embedded (ie on blogs), is Save for Web still going to give me a smaller but still high quality file?
Can anyone explain what Save for Web does differently to Save As - when dealing with Tiff/PSD to JPG?
Thanks!

I'm not discounting the ability to inspect images in greater detail. I'm just noting that it is inefficient as a designer/publisher to push more data than what the average user needs. That is not how the internet works now or in the future. You did not download the entire Adobe forums for offline reading. You open only the forum pages/discussions that interest you. We invite data to us. We don't have it slammed at us. I would not doubt that your pinch zoom example could be addressed with a javascript event to load a higher resolution graphic between the moment the image is first touched and the point when you zoom.
There is no such thing as unlimited storage and bandwidth. Check your hosting plan for the fine print. BizLand/Endurance hosting will most certainly yank your site offline if it starts to take an unreasonable share of system resources from other sites shared on the same server. I've seen this happen often, especially with Endurance hosting. I'll never use them again.
You may be able to get away with bloated graphics on your own site, which ranks 2,310,866 on alexa.com. But a site like adobe.com (ranking at 65) is going to be much more concerned about image sizes. If you host an image at 300kb that could have been 100kb, you waste 2MB among the handful of people that visit your site in a day. At Adobe's scale, they will have wasted multiple gigabytes of bandwidth.
Bear in mind that you are limited to a certain number of concurrent HTTP connections. This has not changed with the advent of faster networks. While a connection is held up to load a larger graphic, another HTML, JS, CSS or image file has to wait in line to load. Peek into the source graphics used in this page. Jive makes heavy use of css sprites to lessen the dependence on multiple connections.
You will never get away from designing for economy. That is why we use JPG images instead of BMP images.

Keyboard shortcut for "Save a Copy" in Acrobat 9 Pro?

I cannot find a keyboard shortcut for Save a Copy in Acrobat 9.3.2. THere's nothing in the help docs.
Even more bizarrely, the idiots who designed the GUI assigned the y shortcut on the File menu to both "Modify PDF Portfolio" *AND* "Save a Copy", so hitting Alt + f, y performs only the former not the latter.
Any ideas or am I SOL?
Thanks.

Hi Dan,
"Save a Copy" is Adobe Reader.
It is not associated with Acrobat Professional's "File" drop-down.
fwiw –
For Acrobat Pro 9; a link to a free downloadable 13 x 19 poster in PDF format (for Windows and Mac) is at:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7 aee.w.html
Be well...

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.

Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
Anyone? Bueller?

There isn't.

HT1343 Is there a shortcut for "Revert Changes" in the Close/Save confirmation dialog box?

In OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the Close/Save confirmation dialog asks the user:
Do you want to save the changes made to the document “Screen Shot 2012-10-12 at 12.35.12.png”?
Revert Changes Cancel Save
Is there a keyboard shortcut for this command, as there is one for Delete (Cmd+Delete) in new document closing confirmations?

I'm not sure if there is a shortcut (I didn't find one), but if you turn on Full Keyboard Access in the Keyboard system prefs, all controls can be accessed from the keyboard. You can tab through (or arrow keys) the buttons. The active button will be outlined and can be activated with space bar. Since Revert Changes is the first button, it will come up outlined and you can just hit the spacebar to choose it.

When i save any image from any website then there is no option showing in the save as box like saves as .jpg etc. In this case I manually add the extension of image for example .jpg .gif etc. Please solve my problem :(

I'm guessing your problem is caused by code validation errors: orphaned division tags for example, or mismatched code and document type (i.e. XHTML /> mixed with HTML > style closures).
Start by using the code validation tools below and fix any reported. You'll need an Internet connection for this:
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
If this doesn't solve the problem, you will need to post a URL to your live page so we can see your code and images working together. Or at the very least copy and paste your HTML and CSS code into a reply using double arrows >> Syntax Highlighting > Plain.

CS6 will not save keyboard shortcut for dust & scratches filter

I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system. I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results. I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Thanks

I had a chance to try the script on a windows 8 machine running photoshop cs6 13.01 in both photoshop cs6 versions 32 and 64 bit and shortcuts seem to stay between restarts.
If in photoshop cs6 you go to File>Scripts you can see that the script is actually listed?
When i saved the script out of ExtendScript Toolkit i named it Dust and Scatches.jsx.
Did you run ExtendScript Toolkit as an administrator before saving the script?
(right click on the ExtendScript Toolkit shortcut (tile) and choose Run as Administrator)
Saved to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 32 bit)
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 64 bit)
Another possibilty if you can't get the script to work is using an action (Filter>Dust and Scratches) and assigning a function key for the shortcut.

How do I change "save image" to save as jpg or gif rather than an html pointer to the image?

When I try to download images it is saving them as an HTML file instead of the actual image. I want to save images in their native jpg or gif formats as they are on the web. Downloading wallpapers for example is not possible. Without this I'm not going to stick with Firefox which is unfortunate because so far I love everything else about it, especially sync. I tried to download a Buffalo Bills helmet to use as an icon for a Bills fan forum which I wanted a Firefox shortcut for on my homescreen. I had to use the Android browser to do that because of this problem. Ridiculous!

Unfortunately, Firefox for Android works quite differently than desktop Firefox in this regard. On the desktop, if you open about:config and set browser.download.useDownloadDir to false, then you prompted for the save location and file name. On Android, this simply stops Save Image from working.
I was able to access the file by renaming Images.htm to a real file name using the ES File Explorer app. But... if you save images often, that would get old fast.
Note: I think the name Images.htm came from the Google images results page that I was saving from, and the file name will depend on the site. When I saved from a site where the images had their own names, .jpeg was appended instead of .htm.

"Could not save x.jpg because the file is already in use or was left open...

Win 7 pro 64, CS5.0 using InDesign 7.0.4 and Photoshop 12.0.4 x64.
Using InDesign to create a manuscript with images. Right click on image to "Edit Original"
Opens image in Photoshop. Make changes, go to save.
Error message "Could not save x.jpg because the file is already in use or was left open by another application"
Using a free utility called Unlocker Assistant, it shows that the file has been locked by InDesign
The workaround is to then use Unlocker Assistant to unlock the image in in the Links folder, but this is a pain and it is happening too frequently.
Putting in that error message I get no google matches.
Anyone know why Indesign is locking the image, when it is the InDesign program that is supposed to be sending it to Photoshop for editing so it can be changed and then overwrite the original image?
Note that it is not consistent but I cannot find any pattern to determine why it sometimes fails and other times allows the altered image to be saved.

You will get a quicker response to post this in the InDesign Fourm http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general

Is there a way to set up an automatic paste function for frequently used phrases

Is there a way to set up an automatic paste function for frequently used phrases.
My husband has an unusually long email address which he cannot change - he is not good at typing. I would like to help him by creating a sort of shortcut or auto paste function on his IMac to save him time and frustration. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you really using an earlier OS than Mac OS 8.6? That would be either 8.1, or 8.5 if I recall correctly.

Shortcut for 'Pro Import After Effects'?

Hello!
I read about Keyed Up and modifying the .txt file for the shortcuts in After Effects, but I can't seem to figure out a way to set up a shortcut for File > Import > Pro Import After Effects
Is there anyway to set up a shortcut for this function? I used it extremely frequently, so it would save me a lot of time.
Thanks!

Nope. You would have to write a mini-script that invokes this command and tie it to one of the script function keys or create a button in a custom palette....

Script to open eps and save to jpg

Hi,
I would need a script to open an eps or ai file at 100dpi, rgb, with the longest side of 500 px.
It would save the jpg at amximum quality with the same name + .jpg
then close the eps file without saving it.
I wanted tyo create an action for this but I cant figure how to create the jpg file with it's longest side to 500 pixels.
Jean

When you record your action use Fit Image to resize the document. Enter 500 in both width and height, that way the longest side will be 500. Fit Image will keep the image ratio.

How can I set up a custom keyboard shortcut for volume control?

Hi all,
I use my black MacBook at work, connected to an external monitor and external keyboard. I'm looking for a way to set up the F buttons on my external keyboard as volume control, just as they do on my laptop keyboard. Looking for F3 to F5 to be volume mute, down, and up, respectively.
I tried going into Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences but since there is no menu item for volume control I can't seem to add it. Anyone know how I can go about doing this or what I'm missing?
Thanks
Mike

paste the following into Applescrpt Editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities)
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume</pre>
this script will increase volume by 5 (out of 100) any time you run it. you can adjust this of course. save the script somewhere.
You can use a 3rd part app launcher to bind a keyboard shortcut to it. I use Butler. there are many others: Quicksilver, ikeys, quickeys, Spark, Launchbar.
this will work the fastest.
If you don't want to use 3rd party tools for this you can make a service using automator but that might be a bit slower than the first option. open automator. it will give you a pulldown screen wiuth the choice of what you want to make. choose "service". set it to receive no input and be available in all applications. add the following "run apple script" action to the service
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume
end run</pre>
save the service, go to keyboard system preferences->keyboard shortcuts->services and make a shortcut for the service you just created.
