Ideal save for web settings

When using the "Save for web" out of Photoshop, what are some things to consider when saving an image with transparency? So many options and combinations, it's hard to know which setting to use.

You are most likely going with PNG-24 (GIF and PNG-8 are older formats).  Use "preview" ("optimized" pane as you select various options, that will show correct image preview.  Obviously, you have to start with RGB @72dpi, that's a given.  Once you select "transparency" checkbox for PNG-24, you should be all set.  If image doesn't appear correctly in preview, it should be edited in Photoshop.  Good luck.

  • CS4 - Save for Web settings

    I'd be grateful for confirmation that I am using the correct Save for Web settings to achieve the colour effect I want.
    I am using an sRGB workflow as my output is for the web. I am using a NEC 2690 LCD display which is wide colour gamut but I am using in its factory set sRGB (and non-calibratable) mode. I have calibrated the NEC using my Eye One display and this shows as the default monitor profile in the vga card's driver but what effect it is actually having I am not sure (OS is Vista 32bit). My CS4 colour management settings are based round the sRGB Working Space. Normally I convert to sRGB all images before saving them in Save for Web.
    I am trying to ensure that the colours I see in images at the Save for Web stage preview are what I will see on the web and in other non colour managed environments. Specifically, I'd be grateful to know if the following settings seem right for what I am trying to achieve:
    Preset: JPEG High
    Quality: High
    Optimize selected (but not Progressive or Embed Colour Profile)
    Convert to sRGB selected
    Preview: Use Document Profile
    In the past (pre-CS4) I've had problems with images outside of CS3 looking over colour saturated and I want to avoid this now.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    That's good, though you you should still try to get the image filesize as small as possible without losing important image details. Many images can support a lower quality JPG setting so you should see how low you can go before you visually see a problem. No sense delivering a higher quality JPG if it's not needed. Higher quality = larger file sizes = longer download time for the webpage.
    > Optimize selected (but not Progressive or Embed Colour Profile)
    I prefer 'Progressive' as that loads an image in 3 stages (low->med->fullRez) and looks better on webpages instead of having images load top-to-bottom like a window shade.
    > Convert to sRGB selected
    Doesn't hurt to leave it on. Though you said you already converted them before saving for web.
    > Preview: Use Document Profile
    I think that "Windows (No Color Management)" will display a better preview of what to expect when the image is displayed on a Windows computer (95% of your visitors) using a web browser that's not color managed (ie: 99% of the windows web browsers - are there any?).
    > In the past (pre-CS4) I've had problems with images outside of CS3 looking over colour saturated and I want to avoid this now.
    The previous step should help with this in that you'll at least see what visitors using a decently calibrated monitor will see. But since there really is no standard that most of the world adheres to, you can only do your best to get things right at your end. You cannot control how the rest of the world adjusts or miss-adjusts their equipment.

  • 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.

  • Save for web settings not holding (Mac)

    I am trying out PE 9. When I use Save for the Web the settings are always at JPEG/Low. I use JPEG/High, but I cannot get PE to save the settings for other files. I tried deleting all Adobe preferences files, including the one for Save for Web, but it had no effect. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Garry. I tried both methods without success. It works only for the same file, but not new files. I had looked for solutions to this issue in this forum and tried them all. If this is indeed a bug, it's appeared in earlier versions of PE. What I want to do is be able to set the Save for the Web settings for each new file I open in PE, just like I can do under Preferences for other elements. Any other suggestions?

  • 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.

  • PS CS6 action save for web error

    In Photoshop CS6 actions when we save the image as JPEG through save for web it doesn't work when we run it, instead it runs and saves the image as HTML, i guess some error in it. I tried it again and again but it doesn't remember my save for web settings and saves the images as HTML.

    It a new bug in CS6 though when you recorded the action you saved jpeg images to you desktop and you only entered file names onto the save for web action steps the action recorder recorded name.html.  I replaced you save for web steps on my machine for my desktop and CS6 recorded  name.html.  I then did the same with CS5 though I only entered names CS5 recorded name.jpg.
    If you expand the export steps tou will see the hard coded file names and extention 
    An action like this will always save the same files it can not be batch because you recorded Path and Names in the save for web steps.  The .html files saved on with CS6 are actually jpeg files and if you rename them hrom name.html to name.jpg you can use them,

  • Adobe Save for Web and Devices Error

    I had a problem with Save for Web and Devices in Photoshop CS4 - and am posting the solution for anyone else that might encounter this (posted previously for Mac but not Windows). This problem suddenly occurred - and I'm not sure why. I had the most updated Photoshop CS4 version: 11.0.2.
    Issue: When I tried to overwrite an existing image using Save for Web and Devices, I received an "Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error": "Could not write the file. A file system error has occurred"
    This error prevented any file (originally created using Save for Web &Devices) from being saved again with the same name. I figured out the solution by finding the resolution for Mac Photoshop and adapting it for the PC version. The solution for me was to delete the following files:  "Default Settings.iros" and "Recently Used Optimizations.irs" (the only two files present) in the following directory:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user profile name]\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\en_US\Save for Web Settings\
    Note that there were other sub-directories of the "Save for Web Settings" folder - I didn't touch any of those. The problem is now resolved and Photoshop seems to function normally.

    Honestly, I haven't had problems with reading/writing files to/from network drives, but I have read on this forum that there are times when it causes problems for people.
    And yes, if you used the command line NET USE (or the Explorer Map Network Drive) function to create the drive, it is actually using Windows Networking behind the scenes.

  • Automated Save for web + All user slices + Preset?

    I've got a large PSD templade filled with web slices, each containing web button graphics.
    These are always saved in three states: "-off", "-on" and "-active" in .png format.
    To speed things up, I've prepared:
    * 3 "Layer comps" (that toggles layers on/off and adjusts visibility/effects)
    * 3 "Save for web settings" that appends the "-off", "-on", "-active" suffix etc
    However, each time I want to update these three sets (and that is often!) I have to jump through hoops to get it done... applying layer comp + File > Save for web + selecting "all user slices" and "preset" + confirm overwrite.
    After a few hundred times it gets tiresome :-)
    Bottomline:  Is there any way to make an action, or similar to do all this in a single keystroke?
    Robert K

    I don't know why I didnt't think of this already
    It works a treat, at least with CS4 (haven't tried it elsewhere).
    I ended up doing three actions for each of "off", "on" and "active". The action only toggles the appropriate Layer State, than Save for Web. It seems that only User slices are saved, and no dialogs or anything flashes by.
    Great! Thanks.

  • 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.)

  • Missing Default Settings in "Save for Web"

    The only settings I get in "Save for Web / Devices" are "Unnamed" and "-----".
    Where would these preferences have disappeared to? I don't recall ever seeing the standard options ever since installing the CS3 Master Collection. ImageReady and Photoshop CS3 usually have a few JPG, GIF and PNG options.
    Could I download the original settings file somewhere, without reinstalling anything?

  • Save For Web - Default Output Settings

    Hi all!
    When I use "Save For Web" in Illustrator CS5, I don't like having hypens in my file names (it messes with alphabetical sorting when some of my similarly-named files have hypens, the rest have spaces). So everytime I export an image for the first time using save for web, I have to go into "output settings > saving files" and uncheck "Unix Filename Compatibility". Having to do this every time is a little annoying.
    I tried unchecking that box, and then saving the output settings as a settings profile, overwritting "default settings.iros", hoping that Illustrator would load that file everytime and leave the Unix box unchecked. But alas, that did not work, and when I go to "Save For Web" now on a new image, instead of using the default settings profile, it just uses "Custom" instead, with the Unix box checked.
    So it seems Illustrator would rather use it's own default settings, instead of mine. Is there any way I can set it to stop checking that box every time I create a new image and export it for the first time?
    Thanks!
    Joey

    You are correct it is writtn that way in the Save for the Web Preferences and I assume if you knew what to put in its palce and resaved the preferences it ould 'no loo'nger be a problem for you the thing is what would you write in its place?

  • PS Save For Web -- what are optimum GIF settings?

    Hi,
    I am making very simple buttons for a web page navigation bar as follows:
    Create new file in sRGB with proper dimensions for my navigation area.
    Fill with web page background color, #c4c0b4.
    Use Type Tool to create text in gray #666666.  (After creating these buttons, I change the text color to white for hover buttons.)
    Use Guides and Slice Tool to define shape of each button.
    Save For Web to create folder with all the buttons.
    In the Save For Web dialog I have tried several of the GIF presets -- 128, 64, 32, with dithering and without dithering.  They all look good, but I'm not sure which will give me that absolute highest quality, sharpest looking characters.
    QUESTIONS:
    1) Which of the GIF presets should I use for the best text appearance?  I have read the Help file and it would seem that I do not need dithering since I am using two solid colors -- #c4c0b4 and either #666666 or white.  To dither or not to dither, that is the question!
    2) Do I need more than 32 colors?
    3) In Save For Web, when I click Save and the Save Optimized As dialog opens, should I use the Default Settings under Settings, or would a custom setting be preferable?
    4) Am I correct that I should NOT apply any sharpening to text-only files such as this?
    As always, thanks to the pros here for any advice on this.

    Hi Jesse,
    I tried using text links and setting the size in pixels, but the sizing changed depending on the browser settings.  Sizing in pixels is better than in points or generic sizes, but still subject to changes.  I'm on a PC and my designer-friend who is helping me with this is on a Mac.  We've done some tests and anything other than making the links with images is not consistent from browser to browser, Mac to PC.  We want to guarantee that all the text on the page will not change -- size, spacing, leading, etc.  My clients are graphic designers and art directors who will notice this kind of thing.
    As for the client changing, adding or subtracting links... well, I'm the client and I'm doing the site myself, so that's not going to be an issue.  In addition, as you see, the site is super-simple so there aren't likely to be a whole lot of major changes.  That's not to say it could not happen, but saving all my Photoshop work files is not a problem.
    Please understand, I am not arguing with you or Nancy.  If I were doing a complicated corporate or business site, I would use text links for all the reasons you lay out... no question about that.
    Thank you for the tips on saving GIFs.  I'm using Photoshop CS4 and Save For Web.  I think I now understand what settings to use.  I am using GIFs only for the text.  All of the images will be JPGs, but those are all generated automatically by Lightroom and a web gallery plug-in called SlideShowPro which not only generates the images but assembles the galleries and does all the Flash stuff.  All I do is embed the Flash galleries into my pages.  For a non-web person like me, that's nothing short of a miracle.
    Your comments were not long-winded.  In fact, I'm so eager to learn more about this stuff that I really appreciate your detailed explanations.  Thanks for the comment about my work -- I'm excited about this new website which hopefully will make it look better than ever!
    Best,
    John

  • 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

  • Save for web gif loop settings not working

    Photoshop CC 2014 Mac Pro 10.8.5
    When I change looping settings from "once" to "forever" when saving a gif it only loops once. I tried multiple times. In the end what got it to work was changing looping back and fourth from "once" to "forever" over and over and over until randomly the preview started looping. At that point when I saved it worked correctly.

    I’m not really sure; it could be a Mac problem.
    This is the Adobe statement on Lion:
    Mac OS 10.7 has some exciting new features such as Autosave, Restore, Versioning, Full Screen Mode, and more multi-touch gestures. For Adobe applications to fully support these features, additional product development is required. Adobe is working to address this issue.
    There is one other thing you could try. Open a photo in the Editor and then hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift Keys and press the letter S
    It’s also possible to delete the save for web preferences and then re-start the program to re-build them. This involves holding down Cmd+Opt keys and clicking Save for Web under the File menu. However this may not be possible if save for web is grayed out.
    Please let us know if you get it fixed.

  • Save for Web does not remember quality settings

    Hello,
    I just about PSE8 today and Im on a mac with Leopard.
    PSE does not remember the quality settings when "save for web".
    The quality is 0 every time Im saving. Even if I change to 100 it does not remember it.
    Can you help please? Im far from being an expert here.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    However in my library-folder/preferences folder I found 5 folders or files which are connected to adobe.
    "write and read" is activated on all and Im the main user on this mac.
    There is even one file called "Adobe PSE für Web speichern 6.0 Vor" so pretty much like "save for web". On this one I can write and read as well.
    On Windows, there is a preferences file that is stored in the proper location for such files:
    C:\Users\Ellis\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Save For Web PSE\4.0\Adobe Save For Web PSE 4.0 Prefs
    PSE has no problem writing that file.  This sounds similar to the file you found.
    However, there is another file that Save For Web tries to write:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Settings\Recently Used Optimizations.irs
    It is this file that is located improperly, in Program Files, which is supposed to be only for read-only executables (.exe), dynamic link libraries (.dll), and other read-only assets live.  Programs normally don't have write permissions for these folders, so Save For Web fails to save its preferences.  Perhaps there is something similar on the Mac.  (I'm not an OS X expert, so I can't help with the Mac conventions of where things are kept.)
