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?

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Logo is missing elements when I save for web

    I was given a logo to work with for a project, but whenever I try to save it as a gif, jpeg, or in another image format, the text of the logo is missing.
    Here's a screenshot of what it's supposed to look like:
    Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when saving for web:
    I've adjusted the colors of the butterfly and the text to the lime green color you see, but the text is missing and some of the original colors appear on the save for web preview.
    I've tried the following to no avail:
    Copy & pasting the logo
    Changing colors
    Ungrouping the logo
    Expanding the logo
    Adding stroke
    Live paint
    Saving as a PDF works, but when I tried printing flyers with the image at Kinkos, I ran into the same problem with the text disappearing.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I know I could just put it in Photoshop to get the final product I want, but I'll be using this logo in the future and don't want to have to experience the hassle again. 
    This is in Illustrator CS5, and I'm working on a PC.
    Thanks.

    You're welcome. I wishthere was a way to have "white set to overprint" marked some how of course you can always tst it by turning on overprint preview.
    But if you do not have that turned on it would be nivce to have a marker of some kind.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • Photoshop slice tool and Save for Web image quality. Will it affect prints?

    I want to slice a large photo into multiple smaller (4x6) printable photos to arrange in a 12x12 inch scrapbook binder pocket (made of of 4x6 pockets). I need to order separate 4x6s online so tiling in the print options is not what I need.
    The slow way I know to do this involves cropping and saving each section (maybe even recording this action to do batch processing). However, another way is to use the slice tool to quickly divide up the sections then "Save for Web...". I can adjust some parameters, but I'm afraid there are other automatic adjustments that I don't want. For example, all images are converted to 96 dpi instead of the original 300 dpi. The number of pixels remains the same so I don't think there will be problems printing the picture.
    My question is: does the Save for Web function reduce image quality in any way when printing (it is obviously intended to be used to optimize images for websites)? Are there settings in "Save for Web" that would optimize for high quality prints? Is there a better way to tile an image?
    I have not yet compared any prints.
    W7
    CS6

    If you understand that something will do something you do not want like convert to 96 DPI as long as it does not resample you can always convert back to 300 DPI. If you want 6 4x6 to form a 12x12 you must start with an square 1:1 aspect ratio image. That you resample to 12"x 12" at 300 dpi if you want 6 4x6 300 dpi images.
    If the original images vary in size and aspect ratio you need to crop them square or add two borders to make them square.   The rest is easy to do with an action.
    The square crop or border can be automated with a little scripting.  If crop  a center crop would be the route to go. My crafting actions package contains  more the a dozen scripts to be used within action. One is a plug-in script that would make center cropping a snap two steps menu File>Automat>AspectsRatioSelection followed menu Image>Crop.  Add a menu Image>Size set side to 12" and resolution 300 DPI and you have your  starting 12"x12" 300 dpi image.
    Flatten the image make your first 4"x6" selection copy past to add it as a layer. Select the background select the next 4x6 area copy and paste repeat that process till you have added the 6 4"X6" layers. Then delete the background, Select all, target all layers and use layer>Align layers to selection>Top edge then repeat align to left edge. the Image>Trim you have your 6 4x6 in a stack.   You can the use Adobe Photoshop Script Export Layer to file.   All automated in an action however the last step Export layers to files is interactive for its not a plug-in script. So if you batch it you keen to hang around to interact with the last step for each image.
    You could also write you own export script that would not need human intervention to use instead of Adobe interactive script.

  • 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?

  • 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 and devices" missing in File menu

    In Illustrator CS5, Win 7, "Save for Web and devices" is missing, ever since recently installed. A reinstall with all defaults does not fix it. Nor does deleting the Adobe "Illustrator CS5.1 Settings" folder. The File menu entry is not grayed out. It is missing. The applicaiton is up to date.
    (A) A clue is when opening Illustrator this error dialog appears: "Error loading plugins. DxfDwg.aip PNGFileFormat.aip". However, both files exist in the "Plug-ins\Illustrator Formats" folder.
    (B) Closing Illustrator and restarting gives a different error message: "Some plug-ins have been updated. You will need to relauch Illustrator for the changes to take effect."
    (C) Closing and restarting takes me back to (A).
    Web searches reveal this to be a perennial problem. There is, however, nothing in Adobe support about it I could find. This is a showstopper.
    Thanks!
    Puzzled in Atlanta

    Larry,
    Thanks!
    No. I did a support call this morning. Reinstalls from a DVD and a
    download both failed to solve the problem. He did not suggest the
    cleaner step.
    I did check to see that Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator
    CS5.1 was empty after uninstalling AI 5. Then I deleted it.
    So what I've done is uninstalled AI CS5 again. Then I downloaded the
    cleaner. Here's what it says:
        "List of products installed on this machine:
        1. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Family
        2. Adobe Photoshop CS5
        3. Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5
        4. Clean All."
    It thus appears there is no way to clean just AI. So I quit the cleaner.
    I will report to the forum on how Adobe support fixes this problem. I'm
    now awaiting their reply on the case.
    Thanks so much. Wish I could help you!

  • 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.

    > 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:

    > Quality: High
    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.

  • Save for Web default folder in PSE 11

    On my Windows 7 system, in PSE 8 when I select Save for Web, it defaults to saving the image in a folder I chose that is separate from the one I used in Open.
    (Save and Save As default to the folder I opened the image from, and PSE 11 works the same way even though "Save As to Original Folder" is not checked in Edit | Preferences).
    But "Save for Web" also always defaults to the folder the image was opened from, even though I have started it in Admiinistrator mode and changed the destination.
    That worked to change the default file type from GIF to JPEG, but had no effect on the save-for-web default destination.
    Is there a way to set/change the save-for-web default folder in PSE 11?

    That makes sense, but it doesn't work for me in PSE11 (though PSE 8 is OK). I get the same result as yesterday, even after rebooting, which I hoped might clear any cached settings. With or without checking Save As to Original Folder, what happens is this:
    - Save to Web defaults to saving the image file in the source folder;
    - if I change the destination to my Web-images folder, that lasts until I close PSE 11, and not beyond;
    - when I start it up again, Save For Web defaults to the source folder (with or without Save As to Original Folder, and regardless of Run As Administrator.
    Looking at the folder   C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    I see that no files show a change in the last several days, so the setting must be elsewhere, in the registry or in C:\Users\... somewhere.  Hmmm..

  • 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,

  • Save for Web: change default connection speed

    I've checked my Photoshop book, the online help, the knowledgebase and done a forum search. I may be using the wrong keywords.
    When I go to Save for Web and Devices and I look at the optimized, two-up view or four-up views, down in the optimization info area in the lower left hand side of the window, how do I change the default speed from 28.8 to something else? In CS2 there was a way to change this, and now I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in CS3.
    Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance.
    Photoshop CS3, OS 10.5.5, MacPro, 4G RAM

    Theresa, just to clarify for the benefit of others reading this thread in the future,
    if I recall correctly, those settings
    DO NOT affect the file at all, they're there for the only purpose of showing you how long the file will take to open at each of the indicated connection steps so that you can choose an appropriate size for the file.
    The "default" setting is, therefore, only relevant to the extent that you may want to see that information at a given connection speed every time you save a file without having to click on the contextual menu.
