Changing default on 'Save for Web'

On my previous 'XP' computer I'm sure that when I saved a graphic the default was jpeg but on this computer which runs Windows7 the default is gif.  Is there a way I can change this?

Go to John R. Ellis' psedbtools Q&A.  That solution works with Vista and PSE9 in my case.

  • Set and save preferences/default in Save-For-Web?

    I used PE2 forever, even as my Mac OS updated. Now, however, on Snow Leopard, I had to get PE8, and I'm a little lost. In PE2, if I used the same custom setting in Save-For-Web, after awhile, it just kept it and that somehow became my default. It was marvelous. Now, in PE8, the JPG quality is always set to 0. I would like to set it to something I like (I am not completely happy with the presets), and have that come up as the default. Thank you very much for all of  your help.

    *sigh* That does seem to be the case. It will remember the same setting for that one picture, but not for the rest of them in my project bin, so not even from opening the program until it is closed. Such a shame. Reset, of course, works just fine. But thank you for answering it for me.

  • PNG changing colors using save for web (CS2)

    Im having a problem with making PNG pictures when using the "save for web" function (this also happens in Image ready)
    I make an image in sRGB color space and chose "save for web" and set the settings, all looks fine and i save it as png8 or png24.
    Then when i view it in a browser the colors af "off" (desaturated) ??
    But if i chose "Save as" in Photoshop, and chose png, and save it that way, the color macth up and looks allright.
    What im a doing wrong ??
    I have made a test with to sets of colors / picture one with "websave" color and one without then save them "using save for web" in gif, jpg with profile, png8 and png24
    The gif and jpg goes well but the png's colors goes "off"
    I also saved the to files using "save as" and here the png's colors looks fine
    (Ther are also some screendums of my color setting, "save for web" setting and my screen profile if that can be of anny help
    http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jgom/pngtest/
    Also! can anybody tell me this ?
    When using "save as" i cant chose what png im saving as ? (8 or 24) What type of png dos PS use when you save it like that ???

    Now I've read up on it, it seems the issue is indeed gamma.
    (I really appreciate the "that's impossible, you must be doing something wrong" comments, by the way. Not "hmm, I don't know," but actually "what you've described in detail isn't happening; you're imagining things." Super helpful.)
    Anyway the real question is: is there a way to stop Photoshop from including gamma data? It's apparently an optional portion of the PNG spec.
    The whole gamma thing is unfortunate, but the *really* unfortunate bit is that Photoshop includes this information at all, particularly in a Save for Web context.
    Most importantly, it seems this has been an issue for some time (Google "PNG Photoshop gamma"), and PNG is usually used for web, so why on Earth hasn't Adobe addressed this? Let's not forget that Photoshop is the industry-leading tool, and the Extended version costs $1000 by itself. The only options I've seen for saving as PNG in PS so far is sRGB conversion, bit depth, transparency, and interlacing. This whole gamma thing seems pretty unacceptable behavior, even by default.
    I'm looking into pngcrush; does anyone have a simpler solution to strip the gamma information? Of course, if there's a way to do this in Photoshop itself, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Changing default page margins for Web Intelligence

    Is it possible to change the default page margins for new Web Intelligence documents.  The default size is 76px which most people find exceedingly large.
    The defaultconfig.xml file can be modified to specify default fonts, page size, orientation, etc. Can anything be done to this file to change the default page margins as well?
    Any help would be appreciated ...

  • Changing default jpeg compression for Web Gallery files

    I have created several web galleries from both Raw and Jpeg files with Iphoto '08 that suffer from serious jpeg compression artifacts. I haven't found any way to change the compression amount to reduce the artifacts. Is there actually a way?

    papasteveo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no way in iPhoto for the user to manage the jpg compression of the web gallery photos. If the option for visitors to download the photos is selected the copy that's uploaded is compressed approximately equivalent to an Photoshop quality setting of 8 or 9 out of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original unless the max dimension in the original exceeds 3054. The the file is resized to 3054 max dimension.
    If the gallery is just for viewing the image is resized to 800 x 600 with additional compression.
    You could manually replace the file with one that you've prepared but it would be very tedious as each file has it's own folder and the file name is changed to web.jpg (viewing only) or large.jpg (download). You would have to rename each file to be uploaded to the new name and make sure it's placed in the correct folder.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Original file turns modified after "Save for Web-"

    Hi everyone!
    I'm with a little question.
    What happens to the edited file after saving its copy using the “Save for Web…” command? Why the original, unmodified file turns into “changed” (with * symbol after its name)?
    P. S. The same behaviour is in the Illustrator.

    It's because the original file did get changed, because the Save for Web settings were changed. Photoshop saves most Save for Web settings so that the next time you use Save for Web, you don't have to set all the options from scratch.
    I tested this by opening a file and using Save for Web without changing any settings, and that time the original document did not ask me to save before closing.

  • Pshop CS3 Save for Web Increases Width/Height

    Hi, I've been using Photoshop for 15 years and used the Save for Web at CS2 without problem. In CS3, it is downsampling the res from 300 ppi to 72 correctly but at the same time increasing the width and height, as though I'd gone into Image Size to do the resize and had the Resample Image field unchecked. This worked fine in CS2, so what gives? I can't find any setting that needs to be changed in the Save for Web interface.

    Buko, I respectfully submit that your comment makes no sense. In CS2, using Save for Web automatically cut down the ppi to 72, and it removed web-unnecessary things like previews and paths so that the file could become smaller. It did NOT change the width or height of the image.
    The CS3 version is cuts down the res to 72ppi. This is fine. The problem we're experiencing (on more than one machine) is that it's growing the width and height as though it's not downsampling when it changes the res. IF that's what you mean by "strictly pixel based," then OK, but it's problematic.
    This is exactly the opposite result that you get if you take a digital camera photo that has a large dimension but low res, and increase the res to 300 while not allowing it to resample: you get a high-res image with smaller width/height image, as all pixels get smaller but maintain their exact colors.
    If the CS3 version of Save for Web changes the diensions of the image, which is frequently created based on the final dimensions needed in the web page, then it's freakin' useless, and I might as well create an Action using Image/Image Size to reduce the res but maintain dimensions.

  • Ps 3d and filters and save for web are not working the way they should

    At work we just put cs6 on a w7 machine running 64 bit which has more than that required mem and or ram to run cs6 - unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates). Anyways. I see the 3d menus and the filter menu in PS but they aren't funtional. The filter menu drop down is there but Liquify is the only one that shows up the rest are gray. The option to choose 3d is also there but they are not functional (grayed out) - I took a look at some online tutorials on using the 3d effect in PS CS6 and Ive gone through it a few times and it still won't work for me. Also, in illustrator when I save for web - when I adjust the pixel dimensions and move the mouse over and click on the image that I am saving for web nothing happens and I'm completely boggled about how to get the image size to change in the save for web pane. Typically I am used to being able to input the the number into the pixel dimenion field and click on the image and the image resizes (on a mac you can either click on the image or hit return and the image will resize in front of your eyes!). I am unable to get this to work the way I am used to, this happens for me in both ill5 and ill6 on this piece of crap windows machine. Maybe I just need to reinstall? Maybe adobe has changed the way this works? Maybe a sledge hammer into this windows machine would solve all my problems!? IDK. someone help... help me... pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssseeeee

    unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates).
    This gets a "stupid comment of the day" medal. Seriously. These days Macs are just as convoluted and effed up as Windows was a few years ago - nice as long as everything works, but god forbid you have a problem. So by all means, update your graphics driver and be glad that you actually have that choice rather than having to wait half a year for Apple to fix it...

  • Save for Web: change default connection speed

    I've checked my Photoshop book, the online help, the knowledgebase and done a forum search. I may be using the wrong keywords.
    When I go to Save for Web and Devices and I look at the optimized, two-up view or four-up views, down in the optimization info area in the lower left hand side of the window, how do I change the default speed from 28.8 to something else? In CS2 there was a way to change this, and now I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in CS3.
    Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance.
    Photoshop CS3, OS 10.5.5, MacPro, 4G RAM

    Theresa, just to clarify for the benefit of others reading this thread in the future,
    if I recall correctly, those settings
    DO NOT affect the file at all, they're there for the only purpose of showing you how long the file will take to open at each of the indicated connection steps so that you can choose an appropriate size for the file.
    The "default" setting is, therefore, only relevant to the extent that you may want to see that information at a given connection speed every time you save a file without having to click on the contextual menu.

  • 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!

    Is 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.

  • Save for Web filetype default in PSE 8 on Windows 7

    I just installed PSE 8 on a new Windows 7 system. On my earlier Windows XP system running PSE 6, the Save for Web filetype defaulted to JPEG Medium, which is what I wanted. On this installation, it defaults every time to GIF; I change it and save the file as a JPEG, and the next one defaults again to GIF. Closing PSE, rebooting Windows, nothing changes that. I would like to make the default JPEG Medium; is there a way?

    On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
    For windows, this seems to work:
    Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

  • Save for Web default folder in PSE 11

    On my Windows 7 system, in PSE 8 when I select Save for Web, it defaults to saving the image in a folder I chose that is separate from the one I used in Open.
    (Save and Save As default to the folder I opened the image from, and PSE 11 works the same way even though "Save As to Original Folder" is not checked in Edit | Preferences).
    But "Save for Web" also always defaults to the folder the image was opened from, even though I have started it in Admiinistrator mode and changed the destination.
    That worked to change the default file type from GIF to JPEG, but had no effect on the save-for-web default destination.
    Is there a way to set/change the save-for-web default folder in PSE 11?

    That makes sense, but it doesn't work for me in PSE11 (though PSE 8 is OK). I get the same result as yesterday, even after rebooting, which I hoped might clear any cached settings. With or without checking Save As to Original Folder, what happens is this:
    - Save to Web defaults to saving the image file in the source folder;
    - if I change the destination to my Web-images folder, that lasts until I close PSE 11, and not beyond;
    - when I start it up again, Save For Web defaults to the source folder (with or without Save As to Original Folder, and regardless of Run As Administrator.
    Looking at the folder   C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    I see that no files show a change in the last several days, so the setting must be elsewhere, in the registry or in C:\Users\... somewhere.  Hmmm..

  • 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.

  • Save For Web Default Settings

    I need to compress about 1,000 jpg images and I'm using the "save for web" feature in Photoshop 7 but I'm running into problems because my file names are very long and its cutting them off. I found the workaround by editing the output settings and unchecking the "Mac OS" box under "Filename Compatibility". However, the problem is that the default settings do not stay like this once I hit OK and I end up having to uncheck the Mac OS box for each and every file. Is there a way to permanently change the default settings so I can do batch processing for all my images? Thanks!

    Look in:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
    for the Default Settings.iros.
    If it's gone look in:
    C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
    (i think a reinstall is required to get back that preset if it's gone and you want the default)
    As far as i can tell you would have to save a new Default Settings.iros to make ps 7 use the custom file compatibilty settings all the time.
    You could save a new setting named Default Settings.iros to your desktop and then copy it to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
