How to fit photoshop CS5 'Save for web' window to Macbook Air 11"

I have tried Photoshop CS5 on Macbook Air 11", however I realized that the 'Save for web' window which I always use is too big to fit into the 11" screen (The buttons kind of cut off at the bottom of the window). Anyone got any suggestion or solution for this? Thanks in advanced.

Thanks Gene. Yes, I wanted to be able to easily access my Dropbox folder from the Save for Web window. I originally had wanted to be able to add the Dropbox icon on the left where the other icons are for Network, Libraries, Recent Items, and Computer are located. However, it may not be possible to do so. However, the link that you gave me allowed me to create a new Library that linked to my Dropbox folder so it's doing the exact same thing that I had wanted I'm just having to click on Libraries first. I can live with that    Thanks for the help!
Nancy, it's okay. I've done it a million times too and I probably could have asked the question in a better way.  Thanks for the response!

  • Photoshop cs5 + Save For Web appends file names

    Hey everyone :
    Anyone know of a fix or a preference i can set? Hopefully, the response isn't "Can't do that anymore".
    Example file name/structure:
    Filename_partof-filename.version-01.00.psd
    Issue (save for web):
    CS3 - Filename_partof-filename.version-01.00.jpg
    CS5 - Filename_partof-filename.jpg
    Using a period as part of the file name was never a problem before CS5/5.5. Having to re-type half the file name in the SaveForWeb dialog is aggreviating/annoying to say the least. I know I can use hypens and underscores, etc but after using photoshop since v3 and using periods as part of my naming convention for 15 years, ...like I said, it's just an annoyance.
    Anyone come across this? Suggestions?
    Thanks tons,
    Greg

    Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.0.4 (12.0.4x20110407 [20110407.r.1265 2011/04/07:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch]) x64
    ...yep, everything up to date (more or less).
    This isn't a recent CS5 issue but a CS5 issue from the day it was released...I just got aggreviated enough today with it to come here and see if I could find an answer. It's definitely a SaveForWeb issue and not SaveAs.
    Here's a similar post from back in March 2011...http://forums.adobe.com/message/3509172#3509172
    Just to be clear...
    - Open new/old PS file
    - Save with name.name.v.01.psd
    - Quit PS
    - Re-open file
    - SaveForWeb
    ...if you're able to save it out with the file name in tact, I have no idea how.
    I've tried 4 different CS5 Photoshops and they all truncate the name after the first period.

  • Deleted default Photoshop CS5 Save for Web settings, but they return after a restart

    How do I permanently delete the default Save for Web settings that come with Photoshop CS5? (Default Settings.iros, Background Image.iros, etc)
    In CS4 you deleted them once, and they were gone. In CS5, if you delete them, they are recreated when you restart PS. Same goes for any Optimized Settings (GIF 32 Dithered.irs, JPEG Low.irs, etc), they simply can't be permanently removed, and I'm left scrolling through a long menu of things I'll never use.
    I have no use for XHTML.iros, GIF 32 Dithered.irs, or any of these settings, just like I have no use for most of the stock presets in PS, why can't I customize these presets like I can customize everything else?

    Yes, they are, how do I stop that?
    I don't know that you can.
    Ok, we have a way to save them, but not delete them, so what if I accidentally Save one I don't want? Or what if I Save one now, but later don't want it anymore. We're supposed to infer Adobe didn't intend us to ever Delete custom settings we Saved ourselves?!
    I suppose there's an implication that you'll be given the defaults by Photoshop, but that anything you create yourself can be deleted by yourself.  I admit it's not a very clear interface.  For what it's worth, my own applications provide an explicit "Delete" capability, have defaults that don't manifest as actual files (and are always at the top of the list), and the app doesn't allow you to even try to delete the application-provided settings (Delete is grayed-out).  I thought the whole settings thing through and tried to make sure it was more clear than parts of the Photoshop interface:
    > Have you found some documentation from Adobe that states that you can effectively customize your installation by deleting these files?
    Yes, in the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    Well, from what I can see that thread was written by someone other than an Adobe Employee, and it doesn't mention .iros files at all.
    And what it seems to say is that you can reset your preferences to defaults (i.e., invoke auto-generation of a new prefs file) by deleting the old prefs file, which is what's happening for you.

  • Photoshop CS5 Save for Web & Devices

    In "Save for Web & Devices", the buttons are cut off at the bottom :\ is there a way to fix this? Here's a screenshot.
    click to view full size. As you can see, they're pretty hard to click, though not impossible...

    You probably need to use a higher screen resolution.
    1024x768 or higher.
    You could also try to resize the save for web dialog by using
    the lower right corner to resize.

  • Photoshop CS6 Save For Web UI extra border Bug

    Last week we finally got upgraded to CS6, and I'm dissapointed to see the visual defect I reported in CS5.5 still exists in Photoshop CS6 Save for Web. The details and screenshots are all the same as in my previous thread. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3843054#3843054
    Isn't there a way to fix this?  I rely on PhotoShop to be pixel perfect, not to add extra distracting lines and borders to my work.

    FYI, just to test I just did a crop of an image, then screen grabbed the result.
    To ensure the edge is visible, I changed the workspace background from the dark gray I usually use to a lighter gray...  Here's the pertinent part of the workspace...
    A closeup of the upper-right corner:
    Notably, I don't see any black line around it like you showed.  This leads me to wonder whether I interpreted your screen grab properly...

  • Photoshop Elements Save for Web

    The default file type for this command is GIF. I never use GIF, I always use jpeg. This means I have to change it every time which is a nuisance. Is there a way to change the default from GIF to jpeg?

    Hey jtmd300,
    Yes you can change the default from GIF to jpeg.
    Steps to follow :-
    1. Launch PSE and open any file.
    2. Click File -> Save For Web and you will get Save for Web window.
    3. change the type GIF to JPEG.
    4. Press Alt (on windows) / Option (on mac) key, and "help" will get change into "Remember" button. Press it and your default type is chaged.
    Note  :- Remeber choice will appear untill you keep holding the key

  • CS5 Photoshop - Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error

    Hi folks,
    I know similar threads exists, but this one is different. For some reason, out of the blue, I can't use 'Save for Web' anymore. When I choose 'save for web', it opens the preview dialog nicely, up until I save & get this error:
    "Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred."
    Cleared all my settings, and the error remains.
    I uninstalled PS CS5, installed it again... still get this error.
    Hope someone knows how to fix it!
    Tx!
    MacBookPro3,1, running all the latest updates (OSX 10.6.4), CS5 Master Collection.
    Luckily still have CS4 Master Collection installed (and Flash CS3).
    (I've just got to get this off my chest, CS5 has so much issues that I stopped using it, I'm not getting paid for playing crashtestdummie. Please don't rush any future CS collections and try fixing bugs instead. )

    Hi Wade,
    Tx, but 99% of my time, I work on my local system (scratch disk also). Already had problems working with the company's network (files get locked or corrupted while trying to save), so we've learned the hard way not to use the network.
    I guess that's somewhat expected if you work with a Mac, in a professional Windows environment.
    Meanwhile, I'm a step closer in finding a solution myself. A colleague gave me a great tip, if you create an extra user account on the system, you start with a clean library. On my second account, PS CS5 is working just fine. So clearly, something went wrong in my library. Maybe permissions like you've said. At this point, I could try to fix it by copying files from the one user to the other. But I would like to wait for that connect session so they can see what's wrong.

  • Photoshop CS3 Save for Web Outputs Large Filesizes

    Hi guys,
    I have been using Photoshop CS3 for many happy years and over the last few weeks I have noticed something very unusual. When I use Save for Web and save jpegs, gifs, or other images, the estimated file size which shows in the corner is being heavily inflated when I look at the actual file size of the files it's outputting.
    I am having to open up the files in Preview and then do another save as jpeg to get the file size down!
    For example, I regularly make small 200px wide by 96px high logos for a clients website and have been doing this for a few years. The average file size of these is about 5KB, which is what I aim for. When I use Save For Web now, it will indeed show an output size of around 5KB, however, Finder reveals the size is 17KB or higher!
    Why is it doing this and how do I put a stop to it? It is very frustrating and time-wasting to use third-party apps to fix simple small things like this. Please don't suggest I upgrade to CS5 to fix the problem.
    Cheers

    Thanks for your help, I don't know if I reset my save for web preferences as I tried the keyboard shortcut method shown in the other forum post you provided, however, I didn't see any feedback indicating if it worked. Also, they were using PC keyboard commands not Mac, so I tried using either Control and Command just in case.
    Either way I tried another thing while I was in the Save for Web dialog, I clicked on the little arrow the points to the right underneath the Done button and to the right of the Preset drop-down. It is called the "Optimize Menu", I then clicked on "Edit Output Settings" and chose "Default Settings" from the "Settings" drop-down.
    My saved image file is now 5KB! Finder shows it as 8KB, however, Dreamweaver is showing it as 5KB which is all I wanted!! Hooray!

  • CS5 Save for Web and Devices problem

    I recently installed CS5 and now I cannot save for Web and Devices.  A pop up error window appears saying "A write permissions error has occurred".  Any suggestions to make it possible to save for Web and Devices would be appreciated.
    Also, when I exit Photoshop CS5, yet another pop up window appears and reads, "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges.  Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders'.  Again, any suggestions as to what this message is about and how to make PS close as it did with CS4 would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    E

    Try this first:
    Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Macintosh HD > Repair Disk Permissions
    Also make sure your not saving to a removable hard drive that is NTFS. If you can drag files into the drive its the right type of drive to use and there shouldn't be a problem.
    Apart from that all i can say is to restart your Mac and make sure all the adobe updaters are up to date
    Hope that helps

  • In Photoshop CS6, Save for Web strips out my filename after a period "." character

    I have a file named label-1.5oz.psd.  In Photoshop CS6 when I use "Save for Web" to save it as a JPG, it only wants to save a part of the filename: label-1.jpg
    I strips out everything after the period "." character.  I know it's incorrectly thinking that's a file extension.
    Any ideas how I can fix this?  Any settings I should tweak?  I'd really love for it to save the full filename without requiring me to retype the last part every time.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Oh if only it were that easy...  Unfortunately, they have to be cropped and resized, converting over from a print catalog where much of that work was originally done in InDesign, and now have to convert each individual image to make the web site look like the catalog...  but thanks for the suggestion, have already tried to automate what I could..  But much of this is going to be hands on...  getting my familiar quick keys to function correctly would help greatly.

  • Photoshop CC Save for Web Greyed out

    After the last Creative Cloud Photoshop update my Photoshop CC 64 bit save for web is greyed out and I can no longer save as a png. Using Windows 7
    How can I correct this.
    thanks,
    Buddy

    I have the same problem. Save for web grayed out no matter what. Also photoshop denies opening any png file, also the png format sometimes doesn't even appear in Save as.
    I can import png by choosing Open As and selecting Camera Raw. But then I can't save as png again. QC slacking at Adobe or what? Never experienced these kinds of difficulties with earlier versions. Might just as well brush off my old CS4 masters collection.
    Will try a reinstall although I frankly don't have the time to wait for the endless download.

  • Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

    I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
    I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
    (was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
    However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
    Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
    Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

    Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
    Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
    PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
    Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
    If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.

  • Photoshop CS6 Save for Web not working

    I am using photoshop CS6 (cloud) on Mac (10.7.5) and when I use the Save For Web > save, i got the following popup :
    ---- Adobe Save For Web Error ----
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred.
    I have been using CS6 for months and it worked fine yesterday before shutting done. Today morning at startup it was not working anymore.
    I have tried to  uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, clear my presets, shut down/started up, repair disk, repair permissions,... without succes.
    The save for web function still works in CS5.
    Any help will be very much appreciated,

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

  • [CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers

    Hello,
    You can reproduce the bug this way:
    - link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
    - Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
    In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
    Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
    I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.

    Hi,
    I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
    Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
    I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
    Thanks in advance

  • Photoshop wont "Save for Web"

    Ever since I installed CC on my vanilla MacMini (Late 2014) running OS X 10.10.1, I haven't been able to use the "Save for Web" feature in Photoshop (2014.2.2 Release, 20141204.r.310 x64) anymore. I keep getting an error message saying "The operation could not be completed. The file or directory could not be found."
    Google and the forums have unfortunately only come up with people having similar problems, but not with any solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I seem to have skipped your earlier response.
    I've been on OS X 10.10.2 for a couple of days now. Pretty much since it was released.
    Here's the contents of my ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings directory:
    Seems like the file is missing and PS can't write in there for one reason or another. These are the permission settings on the folder:
    Turns out, my initial idea wasn't the worst: I now transferred the entire ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings directory from my tmp-admin user to my actual user. Lo and behold – tataaa – sure enough, there was a Save For Web Prefs.psp file in there. And after starting PS, I can now SFW again.
    This issue is worked around, but I am still puzzled and a bit annoyed by the fact, that there doesn't seem to be any real explanation, why on earth that problem happened in the first place and what might still be running differently than it should.
    For reference …
    The contents of the imported settings-directory (permissions: drwxr-xr-x   20 r8r  staff) look as follows:
    The contents of the original directory (permissions: drwxrwxr-x  17 r8r  staff) like this:
    Beats me.
    Anyways – thanks a lot for the assistance, and if you have any further ideas on how to get to the root of the problem, I'd be happy to hear about it!
