Converting cs3 for web and IBM computer

I am on mac os 10 and using illustrator cs3 ... how do I save for web for a word document to open on a IBM computer?

I am doing a pro bono newletter for the local garden club and the person that is in charge of the website only uses Word on her IBM to create the site and upload my newsletter. I know this is far from ideal.
I have saved my file as "save for web" and save for microsoft office" sometimes when she opens it the layout of the page is screwed up and sometimes she can't open it at all and sometimes it works. I'm wondering if the order I am doing saving could be the problem.
Thanks
Kathy

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

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

Save for web and devices - grayed out. Why?

Hi. I just bought a new computer, new hard drives, etc.
So, I had to reinstall Windows XP pro and all my software applications, which includes Adobe Creative Suite Design (standard edition). All loaded well and my computer is up and running nicely.
only one problem.... in Photoshop the "Save for web and devices..." function is grayed out and unavailable. :-(
This is a feature I use quite a lot. Before I try uninstalling and re-installing, which, as you probably know is a lengthy process with these Adobe products, I'd like to first verify if this is a known problem and/or something I can deal with without re-installing Photoshop. I did a quick Google search, but couldn't find anything useful. Did find one post in some different forum by someone who described a problem similar to this one, but didn't receive an answer.
If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

You would get this if your files were 16bit or multichannel.

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.

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...

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.

Color management for web and print.

Hi there. I would like to post my images and have them print ready for clients. When I read about both of these I find one thing for web and one thing for print. I don't want to edit them twice. What would you suggest for easiest workflow? I like to post the images in an online gallery for my clients and if I really like them maybe use on my homepage. Do I have to edit twice or what is the optimal setting for a photographer. I do mostly portraits --family, baby, couples, etc.
I am pretty well versed in actual editing processes but my understanding in this portion is still lacking. I am trying prophoto rgb on photos today, but will this compromise my online quality?

…I knew of this option but did not know if it was optimal quality…
You define the quality of the saved image in the Save for Web and Devices dialog box.
brwmmw wrote:
…I have just been… using same files for web and print. I wanted to increase quality across the board in print and web…
That is absurd! (Sorry.) By doing that you are generating unconscionably and unnecessarily large image files. You're clients won't like that.
Remember that you have no control over how anyone sees your images on the web. Something like 97% of Internet users are running non-color-managed web browsers and uncalibrated monitor.
You and you're clients are best served when you stick to the lowest common denominator, namely sRGB images, for web.
brwmmw wrote:
…What mode do you use for prints?…
Personally, I like to stay in 16-bit ProPhoto RGB when I print my images myself. If sending them to a pro lab, I discussed it with the lab techs. But I have gathered a lot of experience by now. One really has to know exactly what one's doing to edit in ProPhoto RGB and stay in that color space. If sending my images to a cheap lab like Costco, I stick to 8-bit tagged images that I soft-proof with the specific printer profile that will be used by the local store.
You should—and probably do—know that ProPhoto RGB has a very wide gamut that includes colors that cannot be printed by many printers, and it's up to you to compensate for that. If you run into problems with ProPhoto RGB consider converting to Adobe RGB for print. Make sure the printer drivers that will be used to print actually support 16-bit printing, otherwise convert to 8-bit.
Since you're a pro, I would warmly recommend you watch the video tutorials comprising the "From Camera to Print - Fine Art Printing" series by Jeff Schewe and Michael Reichmann, that are/were available for download from the Luminous Landscape. They're working on a new 2011 edition, but the 2008 edition was just superb. Best $35 or so I've spent in a long time.

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

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).

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

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!

Save for web and devices: overlaping slices

I use Illustrator to design UI for web and applications. In many cases, there are overlapping slices for example the icons on the toolbar: the icons are separate slices with transparent background while the toolbar is a big slice under all of them. Everytime I need to export the slices, I have to hide the background, export the icons, and then hide the icons and export the background. It may not look like a tedious task but when you have to do this cycle 50 times a day together with your product manager and marketing team to fine tune the graphic design, it's such a painful task. Unfortunately it's not always about hiding and showing only 2 layers, it can be quite complicated depending on how many elements there are on the screen.
The problem only comes down to one question: how to export overlapping slices from different layers easier?

Window >> Layer comps
Set this up, and with one click you will be able to toggel whci layers are on or off.
Out of curiosity, are you programming pages with CSS, dynamic layers or other? You cannot layer slices with transparency on top of each other in standard html. I find it so time consuming and impossible to get things registering correctly for all browsers, so try to minimize any layering technologies.

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.

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.
