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.

Script to "Optimize to file size" (automatically) in "Save for Web"?

Hello, all,
I'm a novice when it comes to scripts in Photoshop, but I'm really coming to the conclusion that this is the only way to automate the actions I need to do, whithout having to do it one-by-one.
Is it possible to write a Script to automatically choose the option (and settings) to "Optimize to file size" in the "Save for Web" dialog?
Is it also possible to save the file in the document's original folder, instead of a single specific folder, using "Save for Web"?
I have a really big number of different files (some .JPEG, some .PNG, some .TIFF) and I need to generate a single "reference.jpg" in each one of those original folders. It's quite easy to use whatever method to separate all those files in some lists and later open them in Photoshop in small subgroups of files.
I only have a restriction of size (60Kb) for those "reference.jpg" files, and I would like to save all of them, in each document original folder, with the best possible quality within that size constraint.
Here's my problem:
I can easily do that with a very simple action, but, that specific way, I have no control whatsoever over the resulting filesize of those "reference.jpg" files generated. Moreover, I also find the "save for web" command create a more "slim" file, allowing for better quality within my size constraint.

"I can’t make that out in the ScriptingListener code, but maybe someone else knows better or has a Script for the task already.
I seem to remember a thread where it was discussed to save a copy, check its size and overwrite it with different settings if it was too big … that should be possible, but may run longer."
Many, many thanks for your reply, c.pfaffenbichler! I spend the whole day (and night) yesterday learning (or rather trying to learn) about javascript, OOP, and how it should be applied in Photoshop's Scripts.
I was able to modify some snippets of code I found on the web to suit my needs (temporarily):
//SaveforWebSP.jsx
//Save a fixed width image with a size constraint in its original folder
var docRef = activeDocument;
var outputFolder = docRef.path;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/reference.jpg" );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
// quality/size constraints
var w = 300; // new file width
var MaxSz = 61440; // max. 60Kb
var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100
var x = 1; // decreasing step
// resize the image to the right width
docRef.resizeImage(UnitValue(w,"px"),null,100,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
// Perform the first SaveForWeb Operation
ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt);
// Keep trying to save the file with max. Qlt, but under MaxSz
while (NewfileRef.length > MaxSz)
      Qlt = Qlt - x;
      NewfileRef = new File( NewfileRef );
      NewfileRef.remove();
      ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt); // Perform a new SaveForWeb Operation, with slightly lower Qlt
         if (Qlt <= 50) {
           alert("The file can't be saved with the desired size AND quality.");
           break // break the loop whenever the quality is as low as 50 (this shouldn't need to happen)
var FileSz = NewfileRef.length/1024;
FileSz = Math.round(FileSz);
// close the original file without saving
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// SaveForWeb Export, with the desired constraints and parameters
function ExpWeb(FileNm, Qlt)
      var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
      options.quality = Qlt;   // Start with highest quality (biggest file).
      options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;   // Save Format for the file
      docRef.exportDocument(File(FileNm), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
This works, but it takes a long time and keep the HD disk "going crazy" during the time it is processing the images.
This is too bad, because the "Optimize to file size" dialog in the "Save for Web" would have been so much faster, efficient and much less "disk-intensive"...

How to file auto number in save for web ?

Hi All,
how to file auto number in save for web ?
I have make an action script in Photoshop cs5 that
change the image resolution and SaveForWeb...
(but at this point user need to supply the file name)
so, How to write the code/action such that when the
action button is click the image will save into the file
file2eMail_001,file2eMail_002,file2eMail_003,file2eMail_004
or to any unused number ?
thank for any help!

You could also ask over in the Photoshop Scripting Forum, I’m pretty certain stuff like progressively numbered copies has been addressed there previously.

Psd turn into JPEG prewiews after save for web. Help!

save for web>save>save optimised as>save>close. That gives me a jpeg (the previous was a psd), but in the form of a preview thumbnail, top right corner bent, loupe and "JPEG" on it. I did about 20 psd just fine,ending in the folder as jpg images, keeping their previous names and the new "jpeg" underneath. What happened?
Not less odd, as I was shrinking the folder window, (bring in the bottom right corner, but this is probably not related), all the previous ones (the jpeg images) turned into preview icons, too. By moving the cover flow, they turned back into images, and by moving them again, they turned back into jpeg
icons, this time, not with the loupe and the photos, but with 3 geometrical shapes on them. If I bring them back into Ps CS3 and save for web again, and then close, I get a "save changes to the jpeg document?" question,>save, which gives me a regular save as window, and they stay images, and I could end the problem like that, but that might cancel the previous save for web. Help! goodnight now.

I guess I have been sending all along (my almost 2 years of photoshop) inflated pictures of images (which however I take the care of reducing to 1000
pixels from the original 4000 something that they originally are). What's odd for you guys, and normal for me, is that the computer went back to turning
out "normal" .jpg images, in small characters, like it has been doing all along, as if it went on a freaky spree yesterday, and I will probably go along with it, just because i don't know how to provoke deliberatly the JPEG with the loupes which appeared breafly yesterday, and that I am supposed to expect.
I don't have any third party add on (do you mean plug in?) Only GF, sitting there, unused for a year.
Of course now i am intrigued: Marion: what do you mean by :"this may be affected by normal Finder settings" ? Any settings that i can control to get those JPEG with loupes that I should expect all the time?
Thanks everybody, i'll just leave the thread open for a bit in case somebody wants to shed some more light on my state of confusion.

RGB Colour change after save for web.

I recently had a folder full of images that I cut out and placed on a grey #e9e9e9 background, after using adobe photoshops Save for web feature, I saved them as 356 colour gif files. However when Ive uploaded them to the web I notice the grey #e9e9e9 was ever so slighty different. when I reopened the images in .gif files in photoshop, the grey background was no longer #e9e9e9 but #eaeaea. Im slighty confused as to why this has happened, and is there anyway of correcting this?

It depends on the mode:
Perceptual
Selective
Adaptive
In my tests Selective preserves larger gray
areas e9e9e9 (233 233 233). I think there is no
guarantee, except for web-safe colors (which are
otherwise quite useless nowadays).
Please read the help text

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

Where is file saved when I "Save for Web?"

when I'm using "save for web," (AI 2014 CC), I get a 'Save" button, but no "Save As" button. After hitting "Save," I can't locate the new file on my disk. What's the trick?

John,
It may be time for the list: obviously, you should be given the option of where to save; unless it is a new feature just sending it off somewhere on the internet.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

When i do file, save for web, i get an error that says " the operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified." What can fix this?

when i finish a file and try to "save for web", i get an error box saying The operation cannot be completed. The system cannot find the path Specified.
What can i do or where do i look?

Bug Report: "Save For Web" creates undeletable temp files

This is an odd one but sometimes (maybe 1 in every 30 times) I am doing a "save for web" from PhotoShop it creates (in addition to the requested *real* file) an undeleteable temp file in the folder where the real file is being saved.
Here is how one looks:
This is what I see when I try to delete it:
Restarting the Finder from Activity Monitor makes this temp file disappear.
This started happening since I upgraded to an OWC Mercury Extreme hard drive so I suspect it has something to do with how files are deleted from it (but I have no evidence whatsoever to support this. :-) )

Export Layers to Files w/ Save-for-Web Option

Back in CS2, ImageReady provided support for exporting layers to files, but in a save-for-web style compression. Since ImageReady has been discontinued, the only option available has been to use the current script in photoshop.
We've done several quality tests on exported images from both programs, and since all of our work is done for web, keeping file sizes to a minimum and utilizing the SFW compression is a must.
Can anyone instruct me how to add this functionality to the current export layers to files script?

That line should not be a problem, I wonder if you are trying to run the script from ExtendScript Toolkit?
If so you need to set the target as Photoshop (Top Left dropdownlist)
If not, that line is not really required and can be commented out.
An alternative to this script is my Layer Saver Script that might be of use...

Color shift when using save for web

Hello,
I am converting my psd files to jpegs using "save for web". I am noticing that the colors are shifting from the original after saving for web. The color shift does not happen if I just convert the psd files to jpegs by using "save as". The psds have a profile of RGB1998. I am using CS3 and my monitor is color calibrated.
Do I need to convert the psd documents to sRGB first before I go to "save for web"?
The preview doesn't look any different if I check ICC profile in the save for web window. I have been told that you are not supposed to embed the ICC profile in the document when saving for web because most monitors are untagged.
Anyway I am wondering if I have to accept a color shift when saving for web or is there something I can do to get the saved for web jpegs to more closely match the original psd?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I think the reason why this question is asked often is because the FAQ entry is pretty lame and incomplete, especially for Mac users that by default have a color managed browser and by default have a screwed up rendering mechanism for untagged images.
Depending on your version of Photoshop, you can convert to sRGB before or during the Save for Web operation.

You convert to sRGB for the systems that do not fully support color management.
and...
You include the sRGB ICC profile for the systems that do support color management.
Doing both covers your bum in most situations. You may choose to omit the ICC profile if you are working on common interface graphics that do not require strict color management. The ICC profile adds a few kilobytes to the file size that are not necessary on lesser graphic elements on a web page.

Save for Web only let me save as jpg!

For some reason, I got a file that's only let me do Save for Web in jpg format. I choose png24, click save and it changes to jpg in the save dialog. Then I created a blank doc, copy everything from the problem file over to the new file and I can Save for Web in png just fine.
What's going on?

In the save for web (SFW) dialog box you can see there are more than one slices. All the linked slices (grayed out) are set to save as JPG. Including slice 1. Therefore, the JPG extension mystery. If you drop down under "slices" after clicking the blue save button, and select "selected slices," you'll get a gif (if slice 3 is selected). Or change slice 1 to a gif in the SFW dialog box.

CS6 "Save for Web" "Convert to sRGB" Issues

Hello,
I'm aiming to take RAW photo files, edit them in a wide color space, and when posting them to the web, save them as sRGB.
My workspace is as follows:
I open RAW files in Photoshop via ACR as 16-bit ProPhoto smart objects.
When I finish editing them, I use "Save for Web" with the "Convert to sRGB" and "Embed Color Profile" boxes checked.
Photoshop and Bridge tell me the profile in photos saved as such is sRGB as expected. When I upload to a site like flickr, however, the metadata says the photo is still in ProPhoto. See an example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nrbelex/7950202448/meta/in/photostream
If I use "Convert to Profile" and change it to sRGB, then upload to flickr, the metadata says the photo is in sRGB, as it should be.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Without using Flickr, I'm not seeing any problem with any of the color-managed software I have here.
The ProPhoto test file I prepared, when Save For Web is used, is saved with sRGB numbers and (since I checked the box) has the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile embedded in it.
Photoshop re-opens the file and correctly judges that it has the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile.
A search through the binary data from the file Saved For Web using a text editor turns up a number of references to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, but none to ProPhoto RGB.
Your first image above, however, has BOTH references to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and ProPhoto RGB, the latter appearing in a string of text data that looks like:
