Desktop version under 'Save for Web'

Does anyone know the differences in the technical spec of the 'desktop' version of a video saved under 'Export for Web' on QuickTime and the video saved under 'Export'/'Movie to iPod'/default settings?
I am puzzled as the desktop version seems to be more compressed (smaller file) than one saved as 'Export'/'Movie to iPod' but both are targeted at the iPod (presumably).

And, from your prior statement, the "iPod" export is larger than the "Desktop" version, correct? There's always a tradeoff with video on the web... either Quality or Size. If you have high quality, you have generally have a large file size, if you have a small file size then your quality degrades.
Either way, 50 minutes is going to be a pretty good sized file no matter how you slice it. If your users don't have access to a broadband connection, then trying to get them a 50 minute video file shouldn't even be tried over the internet. Maybe you could cut this down into 5 10 minute segments, but some way or another, you're going to have to better manage the data you're attempting to send out from your end.
If you like, give a brief description of what you're trying to do and perhaps that will help lead to an answer. (Also, I think "Export for Web" was conceived as a way for users to create iPhone videos that perform the same as YouTube videos... that is provide the low quality stream over EDGE and the higher quality iPhone version over WiFi with "Desktop" being tossed on at the end as a highest quality option)

  • Is it possible to preset to JPEG High when using 'Save for Web...'?

    Hi,
    I am using photoshop elements 10. When I am ready to save an image under 'SAVE FOR WEB..' can I preset it to 'JPEG HIGH' cos right now it will pop up 'GIF'.
    When I am using PSE2, I am able to launch it as JPEG HIGH. Now, I have to click on the popdown menu to select 'JPEG High'.

    You need to right-click on the PSE desktop icon and choose "Run as Administrator".
    Then, open a file in PSE, use Save for Web and change all the settings to what you prefer. Hold down the Alt key and the "Done" button will change to a "Remember" button. Click it and then save your image. The settings will be saved and you do not have to run PSE as an administrator again.

  • Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

    I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
    My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
    I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
    The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
    I appreciate your help.

  • 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.

  • I am using photoshop cc 2014.2 And when I use save for Web it gives me a dialog box that says it is using Latin characters I've never seen this before. Does anyone have an answer for this problem or do I need to go back to the older version of Photoshop.

    What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
    You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
    Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

    EXIF is a file format used by digital cameras to store metadata associated with an image.
    This metadata can be any of several things:
    date/time
    f-stop
    shutter speed
    camera make/model
    lens make/model
    GPS location
    Some photo libraries (such as Flikr) will display the EXIF data alongside the photo.

  • Unable to open PNG, save for web, and missing half of the format options under save as.

    Using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with SP1.
    When using Photoshop CC 64-Bit, i am unable to save for web, open PNG, or save as for about half the format options. I don't have any additional plugins installed, nor have I messed with the plugins folder.
    When trying to open PNG files it says: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Photoshop CC 32-Bit works without any of these issues. I'll be switching to 32-Bit until this is resolved. Hoping I don't have to uninstall/reinstall (Install files are huge and take forever to download and I don't know how to save them to the hard drive with CC, thanks).

    Sounds like you are missing some of the required plugins - possibly an updater failed, or someone moved/deleted the wrong directory.
    Yes, you'll need to reinstall to restore the missing plugins.

  • Photoshop CS3 color management "Save for Web" problem

    This problem is getting the best of me.......
    After spending 3 full days researching this problem, I am no closer to finding an answer than when I started. I still cannot produce a usable image through the "Save for Web" feature of Photoshop CS3. I have read web page after web page of "Tips, Tricks and Recommendations" from dozens of experts, some from this forum, and still I have no solution... I am exhausted and frustrated to say the least. Here's the simple facts that I know at this point.
    I have a web design project that was started in PS CS1. All artwork was created in photoshop and exported to JPG format by using "Save for Web". Every image displays correctly in these browsers (Safari, Camino, FireFox and even Internet Explorer on a PC).
    I have recently upgraded to PS CS3 and now cannot get any newly JPG'd image to display correctly. My original settings in CS1 were of no concern to me at the time, because it always just worked, and so I do not know what they were. I have opened a few of my previous images in CS3 and found that sRGB-2.1 displays them more or less accurately. I am using sRGB 2.1 working space. Upon openning these previous image files, I get the "Missing Profile" message and of course I select "Leave as is. Do Not color manage". CS3 assumes sRGB-2.1 working space, opens the file, and all is well.
    The problem is when I go to "Save for Web", the saturation goes up, and the colors change. The opposite of what most people are reporting. Here's another important point... new artwork created in CS3 does exactly the same thing, so it's not because of the older CS1 files.
    I have tried every combination of "uncompensated color", "Convert to sRGB", "ICC Profile", etc. while saving. I have Converted to sRGB before saving, and my monitor is calibrated correctly.
    I have tried setting the "Save for Web" page on 2-up and the "original" on the left is already color shifted before I even hit the "Save" button. Of course, the "Optimized" image on the right looks perfect because I am cheating by selecting the "Use Document Color Profile" item. Why do they even have this feature if doesn't work, or misleads you?
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? Why is this all so screwed up?
    CS1 worked fine out of the box.
    Final note: I do have an image file I could send along that demonstrates how it is possible to display an image exactly the same in all 4 of the browsers I mentioned with no color differences. It is untagged RGB and somehow it just works.
    I am very frustrated with all of this and any suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Pete

    >> First of all... I'm using an Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well, no change that I can tell.
    This has further confused the issue on several points, not the least of which version PS you are doing this with?
    >> AdobeRGB> Convert to Profile > Working Space sRGB-2.1... all still looks well... but now, when I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... I see the insane oversaturated look that is driving me nuts.
    That is your strongest clue...it sounds like you have a bad system or bad monitor profile. To rule out the monitor profile: Set sRGB as your monitor profile in System Prefs> Displays> Color.
    >> Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well
    That doesn't make sense, stripping an embedded AdobeRGB profile should desaturate the color in Softproof MonitorRGB, especially the reds -- you have something wacky going on there.
    At this point I think you need to review the links and get a grip about how color management and profiles work...
    BTW, forget about setting ColorSync in PS COlor Settings, use Adobe ACE.
    MO,
    I think SFW is fixed under CS3 :) By default it Converts to sRGB and strips the profile.

  • Why are the dimensions of my slice being reduced by 'Save for Web'?

    Hey
    When I create a slice and then select 'save for web' the selection i'm trying to save is reduced in size. Originally I only noticed this when I was finding the saved file in the folder, but I now I notice that in the preview of the save for web menu the size is smaller than the actual slice should be.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm using the latest version of Photoshop CC. It doesn't seem to be happening on our PC, but on both the Macs we have tried we are getting the issue.
    Cheers

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.

  • Using QuickTime Player's 'Save for Web' feature in iWeb

    I'm using iWeb (3.0.3) to create a site. I've also used the QuickTime Player (10) feature "Save for Web" command to save optimized versions (for iPhone and desktop) of a clip I'm using in my site. I want to keep the nice features of the QT Save for Web, i.e., the poster frame and the nicer QT controller.
    I've managed to get everything hooked up right (using an HTML snippet in iWeb and hand-editing the page's html file to add the lines to <head> that the Save for Web's instructions specify. Yay!
    All good so far. When I view the page in Safari, the poster frame shows up perfectly. But when I click on it, Safari swaps in a new page (frameset?), which loses all the navigational stuff I have on the "real" page. The Save for Web's instruction html page doesn't do this -- why is it happening in the iWeb page? I've tried stripping stuff out of the iWeb-generated page, but no luck.
    Please help ... I've spent HOURS trying to figure this out, and I'm at my wit's end!! 
    (Additionally, if someone can tell me where I can put the 4 files that the Save for Web command creates so that iWeb doesn't wipe them everytime I publish, I would be a very happy man!! 

    This demo page has instructions on how to use that feature: #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player.

  • A script for "Save for Web" as .jpg

    I found a script that saves the current selected document in Photoshop as .png to the Desktop, and use it all the time.
    function main() {
              // declare local variables
              var doc = app.activeDocument;
              var docName = app.activeDocument.name.slice(0,-4);

        pngSaveOptions.interlaced = false;
        doc.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
    main();
    Now I'd really like a similar script to do "Save for Web" as .jpg files, without a colour profile, to the Desktop. Preferably a version to save as 100% quality and one to save as 60% quality.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here you are...
    function main(){
    if(!documents.length) return;
    var Name = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var saveFile = File(Folder.desktop + "/" + Name + ".jpg");

    SaveForWeb(saveFile,100); //change to 60 for 60%
    main();
    function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
    var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
       sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;

  • Photoshop CS4 Save for Web JPEG Colors are Off

    Ok, I've scoured the web to see about finding a solution for this and tried every possible option and still I'm coming up empty handed. I have a website that I'm developing for a painter and have an image converted to sRGB, and the colors are where I want them to be. I use Save for Web, and every iteration suggested online for the, embed and don't embed, convert to sRGB and dont' covert, use document color profile, use windows, yada yada. Here's a recent example:
    when i preview the image with Firefox, here's the difference:
    The photoshop version is on the left and is the color that I want/need. The image on the right is firefox and saturated. If I save for web with embedded profile, safari is accurate, whereas firefox is saturated, so it's obviously discarding the icc and using some color space that I can't see in my file. I did notice that if I have my Custom, Proof and select Monitor RGB, then I can see what firefox will ultimately display and also what Safari will display if i have Embed ICC Profile unchecked in the save for web dialogue box.
    I know that CS2 and CS3 were easier and less squirrely with color managing web files, but I think CS4 has some juju under the hood. Am I the only one out there frustrated, or like other web developers just accept the inaccuracy and move on? Since this is fine art, I'm doing my best to dial the color in, but it's been all afternoon beating on this.
    Any ideas, I'm ready to install CS3 and see if my life will be easier, but I'm wondering if having Photoshop CS3 and CS4 will cause any issues.

    >> your logic
    That's my rant and I'm sticking to it.
    The OP wrote he doesn't want or need to discuss the pros and cons of embedding profiles in Web images, but for the sake of anyone else reading this:
    1) Embedded ICC Profiles increase file sizes (about 4K per image).
    a) I may have over 100 thumbnails and dozens of photos on one page,
    b) Plus, I may have an image sliced into many pieces.
    c) That additional 4k per image, per slice, will add up fast and may kill dial-up traffic.
    2) Very few computers use color-managed web browsers or calibrated monitors anyway, and
    3) Problems with matching/blending image's edges or background color with a filled box or page color.
    d) If I tag the image — on Mac colormanaged browsers — the color will mismatch the box/page color on managed browsers because the tagged image is being Converted to MonitorRGB, and the untagged page or box color is having MonitorRGB Applied.
    e) This matching or blending a pixel-based graphic to page color is a pretty big deal to do correctly in professional web publishing.
    f) If I publish untagged sRGB images/graphics, the box/page color will match the images and blend correctly in all browsers.
    I WILL QUALIFY my general recommendation about embedding profiles in pixel-based web images for the following reasons:
    1) You are posting fine-art images, creative portfolios, and are not worried about adding 4K additional data per image, per slice.
    2) You are not worried about having Mac visitors seeing graphic blends or photos mismatched to a background color.
    3) You understand only properly-profiled monitors and color-managed web browsers will benefit from your embedded profile — and it is likely 99% of web surfers don't have either — however, if you are targeting the one percent who do, then there is your number one best reason for tagging web photos with embedded profiles.

  • 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
