[Photoshop CS5] Optimize to File Size working not correctly.

******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Optimize to File Size working not correctly.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open any photo.
2. Draw a slice
3. Save For Web, choose Optimize to File Size, type 10KB (Current Slice).
4. Save "selected slices" only
Results: File result larger than expect (over 10KB)
Expected results: <=10KB filesize.
I uninstalled whole Adobe CS5 Master Collection (Trial) & tried to reproduce the bug in Photoshop CS4, but it was not happened, it's ok on CS4.
Finally, Windows 7 is not reason, it's a bug of Photoshop CS5. Please fix, I don't want to buy a bugged software.
I really need the feature "Optimize to File Size" in my works.
P.S: I tested on 4 PCs, and the results is the same.

In the SFW dialog change the Metadata dropdown to None

Whenever I close down Photoshop CS5 I get the message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in Finder to unlock the file or change permission on the file or enclosing folders." What on earth does it mean? How can I stop this message from appearing?

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

"Optimize to file size" script

Hi everyone,
I am currently writing an applescript to circumvent Photoshop's lack of scripting support for the "Optimize to File Size" option in the Save for Web command, but I'm having trouble with targeting the file sizes correctly.
Here is the code I'm using (forgive me, I know its not so graceful... I'm still very new). Basically it exports the image at 100% quality, checks the resulting file size against the desired file size, and if it's not equal to or less than that value, it deletes, reduces the quality level, and re-exports until it meets that criteria:
on optimizeFile(currentDoc, optimizeSize, exportPath, fileExtension, trimmedFilename, qualityIncrement)
set qualityLevel to 100
set optimizedFile to ((exportPath & trimmedFilename & fileExtension) as string)
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
tell currentDoc
export in file optimizedFile as save for web with options {class:save for web export options, quality:qualityLevel, web format:JPEG}
end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set truncatedFile to files of alias exportPath whose name contains "#0"
repeat with thisFile in truncatedFile
set name of thisFile to (trimmedFilename & fileExtension)
end repeat
set fileSize to physical size of optimizedFile
end tell
repeat until fileSize is less than or equal to optimizeSize
tell application "Finder"
delete file optimizedFile
set qualityLevel to (qualityLevel - qualityIncrement)
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
tell currentDoc
export in file optimizedFile as save for web with options {class:save for web export options, quality:qualityLevel, web format:JPEG}
end tell
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set truncatedFile to files of alias exportPath whose name contains "#0"
repeat with thisFile in truncatedFile
set name of thisFile to (trimmedFilename & fileExtension)
end repeat
set fileSize to physical size of optimizedFile
end tell
end repeat
end optimizeFile
The problem that I am having is that when this script exports bigger images at bigger file sizes (even in the 30 to 40k range) it works perfectly. However, whenever I get to thumbnail sized images that i need to export at say 3k or 4k, it runs into an infinite cycle of deleting and re-exporting. I have tried using the "data size" property instead of "physical size" but that seems to ignore the loops altogether and export files at much larger sizes.
Can anyone out there help? I'd love to nail down a script that can do this function well, as I think there is a huge need for this functionality amongst people who regularly batch process images, i'm just afraid that my version may not be the most efficient.

You're right - I really could do with this functionality!
Sorry I can't help on the scripting side, but maybe someone who can will notice this post now.

Action to "Optimize to File Size"?

I often need to resize multiple sizes of JPEGs to be exactly 40k for websites. My current process is to:
Open a file in Photoshop
"Save for Web"
Click on the menu drop down on the Optimize window and select "Optimize to File Size"
Enter 40k and click OK
Save.
This is a tedious process when I have to do it for dozens of files a week. I've tried creating an Action to speed up the process, but it doesn't recognize the "Optimize to File Size" setting.
Is there a script or other solution to automate this process?
(I'm on a Mac with Photoshop CS6.)

Perhaps someone has create a script to do something like that. I'm quite sure one could be programmed, However a script like you want is not supplied by Adobe with Photoshop.
I also do not think it is possible to save all image as jpegs that are exactly 40K in size. Less than or near 40K yes exactly 40K no.

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 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"...

Photoshop CC Uncompressed EXR File Size is Huge

Hi,
I'm used to working with older versions of Photoshop CS, where I 'just save' exr with no options. This previously resulted in file sizes half that of .hdr. In this latest version if I choose to save uncompressed (which I assumed the old versions of Photoshop did?) the file size is a good 10x larger than they used to be. If I save as zlib or wavelet, they're similar size (a fair bit less than a .hdr).
What did the old Photoshop use for compression? Or how can I find out? I don't remember my old exrs taking so long to compress and save either (with zlib) but I might be wrong.
I'm not saving any transparency either (that I know of!).
Regards,
Jay

It probably used the basic zips compression like 90% of all EXR implementations. Not sure, though. I prefer using TIFFs or PSDs directly for working on 3D rendered images, the rest I do elsewhere...

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment. Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working. Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen. How do I get that to you?
thanks for your help

Automating "Optimize to File Size"

I have been using PS7. An ongoing frustration has been that if I record an action using Save for Web and do the Optimize to File Size dialog, the action does not include the file size optimization. So for each image I have to have the action stop at the Save for Web step and do the file size optimization manually. I've searched the web and apparently there is no workaround for this.
Skip four versions ahead - I just downloaded a trial version of CS4 Extended. One of the first things I tried was to record an action that included the Optimize to File Size dialog. When I ran the action, lo and behold it still does not appear to remember the Optimize to File Size step. I checked that the images were capable of being compressed to the desired file size by manually doing Optimize to File Size.
Please tell me that I am just doing something wrong and that it should be possible for the action to remember the Optimize to File Size step.
Thanks.

Okay, I've done some searching into the "image processor" and found it fairly quickly. Unfortunately, that only lets you specify the maximum pixel dimensions of the image, not the file size. Many web sites have file size limitations for posted photos, e.g., 100 kB. The Optimize to File Size lets you meet the file size criterion as closely as possible without exceeding it.

File size of Notes on iPod nano?

Hello,
my question is about the file size of notes to be handled by the iPod nano.
I have copied several ASCII text-files into the Notes folder of my iPod nano. Each has a size of approx. 20 kByte. Windows Explorer shows them in the iPod Notes folder with their original size.
However, when opening one of the text files on the iPod nano, text is only displayed until approx. 700 words (approx. 4000 characters), which corresponds to approx. 4 kByte. The larger rest of the file is not displayed, as if it was cut.
Is this an error?
Or is 4 kByte the max. size of text files which can be displayed as notes on the iPod nano?
I have updated the iPod nano firmware recently with release 1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is an online utility for doing this - will save you tons of time AND adds links so you go from one section of the larger file to the next:

Until they inprove the file size that the iPods can read, this is your only real way to use your iPod as an ebook reader.

Export works not correct in LR5.3; ignore image size.

BUG: The export works not correct in LR5.3 When the field "Dont enlarge" are activated Lightroom ingnores the settings of image sizing and export the pictures in original size. Where can fix it?

Another option, if you're not into using plugins (Exportant) to fix:
Export in 2 groups - those needing resizing and those that do not (e.g. using lib-filters or smart-collections):
* Export those needing resizing normally (but with "don't enlarge" unchecked).
* Export those not needing resizing without resizing.
I mean, re-installing Lr5.2 may be a fine-enough work-around, but so ya know: Lr5.4 is likely to be out soon, with problem fixed...
PS - Get Lr5.2 here:

Tag 'dmnd': Tag size is not correct msg in Colorsync Utility

and then Tag 'dmnd':Tag size is not correct on the next line.
After that, Verify done - found 1 bad profile.
The printer works ok in Photoshop, though prints maybe come out a bit on the dark side as compared to my calibrated screen.
Is this something to be concerened about, and if so, what exactly is the course of action I should take?
Thanks

Sorry, I thought you asked what course of action to take.
It means the data for that "tag" in the profile is not the size expected - I know, that's obvious too. The 'dmnd' tag contains the manufacturer's description.
