PSE 8 Mac cannot save for web

I am unable to save a file for the web. I get the following error message.
COULD NOT COMPLETE THE EXPORT COMMAND BECAUSE OF A PROGRAM ERROR.
I am on an iMac running Snow Leopard.
TIA

First go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 settings
and any Adobe Save for Web preferences you can find, then repair permissions and try again. If it still fails, uninstall (use the uninstaller in the PSE 8 folder in applications) and reinstall.

Cannot save for web - unknown system error Photoshop CS5

I've attached the error I recieve here: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5624/screenshot20101027at122.png
What happens is I create any new document, and when I try to save for web it comes up with "unknown system error has occurred'. Prior to this it worked perfectly (pretty much just 2 hours ago)! Also, my Photoshop CS4 stil works properly. I've been searching for solutions but nothing has come up in regards to this particular error.
I'm running the CS5 Extended edition suite, on 10.6.4 if this helps.

Hi,
Could you please send your system info to me([email protected]) to have a look?
Thanks,

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

Version 2014.1.0 - save for web returns error: the system cannot find the path specified. Help?

I'm on PC (yah, yah, I know)
When I click "save for web" I get the following error:
The operation could not be completed.
The system cannot find the path specified.
I thought I could repair Photoshop, but the 2014 version doesn't seem to have that option in the control panel's Programs and Features - only uninstall. The Cloud doesn't seem to have a "reinstall" option that I can see.I'd hate to have to redownload the whole thing and start over, but I suppose I may have to.
Any ideas?

Help please with output settings in Save For Web Photoshop CS4

I am new to CS4 Photoshop so have been watching tutorials on Lynda.com. According to that tutorial I should have the ability to save a photo as an image in the Output Settings dialog box. The only options my panel gives me are:
HTML
Slices
Background
Saving Files
I don't have the option for Images Only or for HTML & Images. Are these two hidden somewhere?
I have been experimenting with Save For Web, but when I click on Save I get a panel that lists all the images saved in a folder named "Photos" but I cannot find in that folder any of the images that I optimized and saved for the web. Where are they to be found? Images that show up in Bridge are not my optimized images either.I would be grateful for some assistance with this.

Those settings, HTML, Slices, etc, are the Output Settings you don't normally need to change aonything in there.
Leave it at default and you will just save a version of the image stripped of unnecessary data and reduced to the degree you specified next to the file format choice.
When you press Save in the SfW interface it calls up a Windows OS Save dialog box showing the last used location.
The destination can be changed in the normal way. The Images you already saved will be in the the location that was in that dialog when you saved them.
There is a lot more information in the help pages on this topic! (Hint.)

Image Byte size in "Save for Web"-Dialog is wrong?

The Image Byte size in the finder is always larger than the size stated in Photoshop's "Save for Web"-Dialog box. For example, it shows me 34,36 KB in the SfW-Dialog, while the file information in Finder puts out "38,831 KB". Does anybody know how to fix this annoying behaviour?
kind regards,
tomasio

The size reported in the Finder can be in base 1000 (lying numbers used by disk makers) instead of base 1024 (actual bytes) if you don't change the settings.
The size reported in the Finder can include the resource fork (metadata and thumbnails, some added by the OS), plus some extra space for disk block allocations (if you write 1 byte to a file, it still takes 4k or more of disk space).
The size given in SFW is a close estimate of the actual number of bytes written to the disk, and usually matches the size reported by FTP and the web server (sometimes the estimate is off by a little bit due to the final compression options chosen).
But SFW cannot account for the oddities of the Finder or Windows Explorer's accounting of file size.

Gif becomes grainy/pixelated in 'Save For Web'

Hello! I recently switched laptops and I have been having major issues trying to regain the quality gifs I used to make. After I have my gif set to go, I go to save it in 'Save For Web'. This is where all of my problems start. My gif no longer looks smooth, but the entire thing has a grainy or pixelated look -- and it doesn't change no matter how I fiddle with my settings. When switching from the 'original' to the 'optimized' tab in the save for web page, you can obviously see a loss of quality. It may be slight, but it makes a huge difference to me.
Here's a side by side reference:
Not sure if it will help, but here are my settings when saving (I have changed from 'pattern' to 'diffusion' and nothing changes):
Thank you for any help you can provide!

First, JJMack is correct: lots of colours (around 32100) in this example do make it harder to convert without grain.
Second, the quality of the GIFs you produced in Save for Web (SfW) prior to the purchase of the new laptop were never any "better" - it merely means that the previous screen was unable to display the results at a decent enough quality to actually discern the differences between the original and the GIF version with reduced colours. Screen quality does matter.
Second, Photoshop's Save for Web colour reduction algorithms are quite old-fashioned, and (far) better methods are available. Not in Photoshop, however. For a good conversion you will have to look elsewhere.
Here is the original version @2x zoom (32101 colours):
Photoshop's version. The best visual quality I could achieve in SfW (diffusion dither at 81%, perceptual). Obvious banding issues, and a very grainy result.
Next up: RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool). RIOT features a newer "NeuQuant neural-net" colour quantization algorithm. Notice how the gradients are quite nicely retained, although here and there some issues pop up (lips/makeup, building, arm highlight, and greenery are missing colour). Overall, though, the final result is much less grainy looking than Photoshop's effort. At the expense of smaller areas with unique colours.
Next, let's try Color Quantizer with standard settings, a two factor gradient priority, and 256 colours. Dithering was set to Shiau-Fan @75%. Slight banding in the lighter areas of the background, and the building and lips are again missing colours from the original. Much less grainy than Photoshop's version.
Colour Quantizer features a quality mask brush, which allows us to safeguard smaller areas with unique colours from colour degradation. I painted a mask for the lips, the building and greenery in the background, the skin of the woman on the right in the background, the lighter area around the vent, and the forehead to preserve those areas' quality as much as possible.
I feel this result speaks for itself. There is slight banding visible in the lighter area of the wall on the right, but still much less pronounced compared to SfW's version. The colours are all there, especially the important ones for the makeup and the smooth facial tones of Kate. The shoulder's highlight is also preserved nicely. Even the woman on the right in the background looks spot on (which was yet another sore point in SfW's version).
Arguably the best version. Far superior to Photoshop's failed effort.
Fourth, if you are still using GIF to optimize still images: STOP NOW. GIF is terrible in comparison to properly optimized and compressed PNG files. Only use GIF when small animated movies are your goal.
Here is a 512 colour version produced in Color Quantizer (Photoshop's SfW function lets us down once more, unfortunately: there is no option to reduce an image to 512 colours for PNG):
This last version is visually (mostly) indistinguishable from the original, and clocks in at only 52kb.
Of course, if you are saving this as a still image, jpg should have been your choice in the first place, since it is a photo.
Conclusions:
- avoid Photoshop's "Save for Web" function if your intention is a quality colour reduction;
- avoid GIF for still images. Either use PNG or JPG. JPG works best for photos;
- avoid Photoshop and SfW if your intention is to optimize PNGs well. Sfw cannot save PNG files with reduced colours beyond 256 colours;
- fall back to external and/or online utilities to optimize PNG and GIF files. Color Quantizer and RIOT deliver better results than SfW. Or use online optimization tools to optimize animated GIFs (Optimize animated GIF). You can also optimize each frame in a tool such as CQ, and then import the individual frames into a animated GIF utility. Remember, each frame can save its own custom 256 colour palette;
- for optimum quality a quality mask tool, such as the one in CQ, is a very effective and efficient method to guarantee the best possible conversion;
- file sizes of png files created in external utilities almost always beat the ones generated in Photoshop and SfW;
- a better choice to export PNG files is Photoshop CC Generator. At least that one allows for 8bit PNG files with full transparency (another missing essential feature that SfW fails to provide).

Color difference between PNG and JPG in Save For Web

I am working on a website and I while building images for the site I am using a mix of png and jpg images. When I "Save for Web" the same source image creates two different color images when I save them as either png or jpg. How do I make sure the images are saving with identical colors in both png and jpg. Thanks

>My working space is Adobe RGB but I'm not opening the sRGB PNG into Adobe RGB. I am choosing "Leave as is (don't color manage)" this should preserve the PNG's RGB numbers.
are you certain it is not being converted when you open it?
The numbers you quoted are the numbers I get if I open an untagged sRGB image into Adobe RGB (assuming Adobe RGB), and then convert to sRGB.
If I open my sRGB images, either PNG or JPEG, into sRGB, they always match. I've been working on a web site for the past 3 weeks, doing this regularly.
If you are working in Adobe RGB with sRGB images that are not tagged, you add a level of complexity that requires you make the right decision at every step. You need to open them without conversion, then assign sRGB, to keep working.
Or just open the images in Firefox 2, which cannot color manage, and see if the sRGB jpeg and the sRGB PNG match. This is the acid test.

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.

I'm using Photoshop cc 2014.21 I you save for Web and dialog box comes up that says that Photoshop is using Latin characters and that servers cannot recognize Latin characters in webpages and you may have trouble viewing these pages does anyone have an answer for this problem?

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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
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.

Save for web 72ppi

running CS5 on a 64bit win 7 PC....
When I use the 'save for web' option and enable the 'include all the metadata info'
the saved image (jpeg) is not at 72ppi, which is clearly best for the web as that is apparently the idea resolution for our screens.
instead it saves it at 300ppi
(please no debate on 72ppi v's XXX ppi , there are enough posts on that as it is).
but if you disable the 'include metadata option' then the image saves as a 72ppi jpg as i require.
Does anyone have an answer to this.
there is no reason why an image cannot be saved at 72ppi and have metadata.
one assumes that the whole 'save for web' feature is about optimizing the image for that very reason.
this sounds like a bug to me ?

Sorry to disagree with some of the above...
there clearly are some useful facts listed.
but you have to ask with ref to the above, why did adobe bother with the 'save to web' option
if most of you seem to imply it really doesn't make any difference on your uploads.
well it does, i have a few photosharing websites
and some display the images very well others do not, they can look quite blurred.
i've been putting this down to resolution. (i've tried using the photo sites options of not adjusting file size
as clearly im aware their own scaling systems could alter the photo's appearance.
so what have i found.
well reducing the image to 72ppi and say 1000 pixels wide looks good online
as apposed to uploading the original which not only is a larger files size it also has different parameters.
you need a different approach to sharpening for online images than for print images.
hence back to the original, adobe implented this feature for a reason, we can all goto edit, image size in PS,easy
but adobe added this feature where you can choose 'bi-cubic sharpening etc etc.....
and this is why i want my metadata kept in place and 72ppi or 96 as stated above. which is why i still believe it to be a bug.
also this also acts as image license protector as i doubt 72ppi (1000 pixels wide) images would be much use in print for picture thiefs.
(72ppi is just a starting base point as i understand this goes back to CRT monitors, other displays can go higher though i doubt 300ppi)

Save For Web is not working

I just had my software updated from CS to CS5 (I'm in a new job and asked for this upgrade) and now when I go to Save For Web I get the following:
Error
The operation could not be completed
The system cannot find the path specified
Notes:
- This wasn't an issue before the upgrade
- I tried pulling the files off of the server and working from the desktop, no go
- I'm working on a PC but am a Mac user, therefore system q's are going to be tough for me to answer

It may be that the plug-in isn't reporting a problem with the path of the file, but some other path (e.g., to a temporary folder or scratch disk).
Double check (or have your system guru check) that the folder identified by the TEMP environment variable can be written/read by your account on the computer. Make the same check for the root folder(s) of the hard drive(s) identified as scratch drives in Edit - Preferences - Performance.
