Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014.  You screen capture looks strange.  Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ??? You selected  to only use 128 colors instead of the possible 256 and to do no transparency dither .  Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences.  I showed in my screen capture I was using CC 2014 had 30 frames in my frame animation. Showed what my Save for web looked like. Your Save For Web Capture looks very strange to me. Look at your's here then look a my screen capture. Even when I use the preset you chose GIF 128 No dither and a large image my save for web look nothing like your..

  • Using "Save for Web & Devices" for a Organization Chart with Text

    I created a document in CS3 Illustrator that is an Organization Chart. It contains rectangles, lines, and text. It looks great in Illustrator.
    I have tried to save it using "Save for Web & Devices" to create a JPEG and a GIF so that I can pop it into a Dreamweaver document as an image and it keeps coming out blurry.
    I have tried changing its size and resolution. I have tried opening and exporting it into Photoshop to try to "clean" it up. Nothing seems to be working.
    I'm obviously unlettered in this modus operandi!
    meem

    Thanks for the response.
    The background is transparent and will end up on a white background eventually.
    I tried to make it clear in Dreamweaver by scaling it and it did seem to improve it somewhat. But it still doesn't look like the clear copy in Illustrator that I started with...
    I also need to be able to embed this in a Word document to print for a hardcopy manual.
    I had this same problem with Freehand a few years ago.

  • PNG changing colors using save for web (CS2)

    Im having a problem with making PNG pictures when using the "save for web" function (this also happens in Image ready)
    I make an image in sRGB color space and chose "save for web" and set the settings, all looks fine and i save it as png8 or png24.
    Then when i view it in a browser the colors af "off" (desaturated) ??
    But if i chose "Save as" in Photoshop, and chose png, and save it that way, the color macth up and looks allright.
    What im a doing wrong ??
    I have made a test with to sets of colors / picture one with "websave" color and one without then save them "using save for web" in gif, jpg with profile, png8 and png24
    The gif and jpg goes well but the png's colors goes "off"
    I also saved the to files using "save as" and here the png's colors looks fine
    (Ther are also some screendums of my color setting, "save for web" setting and my screen profile if that can be of anny help
    http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jgom/pngtest/
    Also! can anybody tell me this ?
    When using "save as" i cant chose what png im saving as ? (8 or 24) What type of png dos PS use when you save it like that ???

    Now I've read up on it, it seems the issue is indeed gamma.
    (I really appreciate the "that's impossible, you must be doing something wrong" comments, by the way. Not "hmm, I don't know," but actually "what you've described in detail isn't happening; you're imagining things." Super helpful.)
    Anyway the real question is: is there a way to stop Photoshop from including gamma data? It's apparently an optional portion of the PNG spec.
    The whole gamma thing is unfortunate, but the *really* unfortunate bit is that Photoshop includes this information at all, particularly in a Save for Web context.
    Most importantly, it seems this has been an issue for some time (Google "PNG Photoshop gamma"), and PNG is usually used for web, so why on Earth hasn't Adobe addressed this? Let's not forget that Photoshop is the industry-leading tool, and the Extended version costs $1000 by itself. The only options I've seen for saving as PNG in PS so far is sRGB conversion, bit depth, transparency, and interlacing. This whole gamma thing seems pretty unacceptable behavior, even by default.
    I'm looking into pngcrush; does anyone have a simpler solution to strip the gamma information? Of course, if there's a way to do this in Photoshop itself, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to preset to JPEG High when using 'Save for Web...'?

    Hi,
    I am using photoshop elements 10. When I am ready to save an image under 'SAVE FOR WEB..' can I preset it to 'JPEG HIGH' cos right now it will pop up 'GIF'.
    When I am using PSE2, I am able to launch it as JPEG HIGH. Now, I have to click on the popdown menu to select 'JPEG High'.

    You need to right-click on the PSE desktop icon and choose "Run as Administrator".
    Then, open a file in PSE, use Save for Web and change all the settings to what you prefer. Hold down the Alt key and the "Done" button will change to a "Remember" button. Click it and then save your image. The settings will be saved and you do not have to run PSE as an administrator again.

  • Unknown Error when using save for web

    When saving a gif using the "save for web" option in Photoshop CC 2014, I get a "Could not complete operation.An unknown error has occurred" message.  I am using Mac 10.10.1.  I tried deleting the "save for web" pref files but same error happens.  Size of the file being saved (large or small) makes no difference.  No problems saving files using "save as".  Photoshop was uninstalled/reinstalled.  Problem is still there.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • Removing Exif Data with out using "Save for Web"

    I have very large files.  I need to remove thw EXIF data.  I do not want to use "save for web" because it impacts the quality and size (recompresses) of the files.  I need the files to remain un changed except for the removal of the EXIF data.
    I have a large number of files to do this to.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Thanks Tai Lao for the shortcuts. 
    I have RAW files to start.  I "process" them and convert to jpg.  Then send them to the client.  But there are times the client doesn't need to be able to view the EXIF data, soooo....
    1. I'm working on seting up an action to convert the processed RAW files to TIFF first,
    2. then, using the shortcuts you listed, set up an action to take the tiff files through the process to strip them of the EXIF data and,
    3. then convert the resulting "EXIF-less" TIFF files to jpg - also using an action.  I'm going to try to build one action to do the whole thing but so far I'm still experimenting... I have to keep the file names...
    Anyway, I'll post my findings.
    Thanks
    To whomever left the info about Exiftool - Thanks for that info as well.  I'll check it out but is seems a bit too complicated for large numbers of files.

  • Terrible image quality when using Save for Web in Adobe Illustrator CS6

    When saving images of any format and of any ppi using "Save for Web", "round" corners become blurred and pixel , "acute" (vertical and horizontal) angles are clear and of good quality. Reinstalled system with the hope that the cure (Windows 7 64-bit) - has not helped. Up to this point, such a problem did not face, all was well. How can i deal with this?

    You are not really making sense.
    a) Viewing images at more than 100% in any viewer will introduce resampling from image to screen space. Different tools use different algorithms, but none of them will ever be perfectly "sharp". Again, simple mathematics.
    b) JPEG is a compressed format that will never produce "sharp" lines in areas that don't coincide with the underlying block compression. If you wanted that, you'd use PNG or other formats.
    So unless you can provide screenshots that illustrate your issue better at 100% zoom, I see nothing out of the ordinary here. Of course there could be all sorts of issues liek color space conversion or odd pixel sizes causing unfavorable distribution of compression blocks, but we realyl cannot judge any of that based on teh info you provided. Just saying that something doesn't look like you experct it to isn't really helping...

  • Photoshop batch production - issues with 'save for web'

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue with 'save for web' on a batch. I've just spent the last 2 hours searching the web and this forum and although the issue gets touched upon, the threads either suddenly head off in another direction, end, or i just struggle to make sense of the answers given.
    I have 350 images that i want to resize to thumbnails and then save for web. 2 hours ago this seemed like a 5 minute job.
    I creat an action called 'batch_thumbnail' and press 'Record'.
    I then select 'File' > 'Open' and select an image to open using the dialog box.
    I then select 'Image' > 'Image Size' and resize the image to the thumbnail size (200 x 125) and press 'OK'.
    I then select 'File' > 'Save for Web and Devices', set my optimisation settings and press 'save'.
    Using the dialog box that pops up, i navigate to a pre-created directory called 'thumbs' and press 'save'.
    I then select 'File' > 'Close' and on the dialog box that pops up i select 'Don't Save'.
    I then stop the action from recording.
    So far so good.
    I then select 'File' > 'Automate' > 'Batch...' and the dialog box appears.
    I select my action in the 'Action' drop down menu.
    In 'Source' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory with my 350 images in.
    In 'Destination' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory (thumbs), where i wish to save the thumbs.
    In 'File Naming' i leave the first box as 'document name', set the second to '_thumb' and have the third as 'extension'.
    I then click 'OK'.
    And this is where the problem begins. Everything works fine till it trys to save the second image. I can see what's happening, as the directory path and image name that are used whilst setting up the SFW part of the action, are getting hardcoded into the action. So every resulting image is being saved as the same file, instead of being overriden by the settings in 'File Naming'.
    I've tried selecting 'Override action 'Save' command', but it doesn't make any difference. Is it actually possible to batch produce files using 'Save for Web and Devices'?
    Cheers,
    James

    I have written a couple of Save For Web batch processors, they may be of use to you?
    They can both resize and run an action if required.

  • Why do my images appear washed out when I use Save for Web?

    Q: The color/brightness/tone of my image changes when I use
    Save for Web. Why?
    A: Photoshop is a color-managed application. The Web is not. Normally, when you view an image in
    Save for Web or
    ImageReady you are viewing it without color management and see it how it will appear when uploaded to the Web.
    To minimize changes, Convert your image to sRGB (i.e from
    Edit menu choose
    Convert to Profile )before using
    Save for Web. You should also make sure that
    Save for Web has been configured so that images are displayed using the document color profile (see attached screenshot for guidance).
    You should also ensure that your monitor properly calibrated and the gamma is set to 2.2.

    Same here. Didn't get any good New Years Eve photos indoors.

  • Save for web option greyed out?

    hello.
    i'm not too sure but after the last one/two updates from the cc, i have been unable to click on the save for web option as it is greyed out. i've read this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5242626#5242626). i am slightly blurry on the solution being said there. however, i have fixed around the permissions (as said in the solution) but again, i'm not very sure if i have done anything significantly right because i still can't save anything for web (nor can i open .gif).
    this is a screetshot of my user/library/preferences --> get info as well as the adobe save for web prefs. i've added 'admin' into the list and i've made it read & write. user had been read & write all along.
    i have no idea what's the issue still. i'm using a mac on mountain lion.

    Thanks! That was it. I am a bit rusty with PS.

  • Is the PNG generated by the "Save As" option the same as the png-24 from the "Save for Web" option?

    It would speed up my workflow if I could go through the save for web option rather than the save as. Are these files the same?

    No, SaveAs includes more metadata, while SaveForWeb makes the metadata optional.
