Please include a "Save for Photoshop" option

Yes, I meant that. Yes, I'm posting in the right category.
After asking for another feature, mirror layers, and many people started to defend Smart Objects as if they were the solution to everything, I realized that there's another feature mising.
There are many issues brought by the marketing department, like over-inflating a PSD file with ALL the smart objects rasterized data to prevent PSD having to process them all at opening, without which the file could take more seconds (minutes?) to open, but eats up your hard drive, making impossible to deliver a file other than by FTP (http / php servers have limits), making smart objects not-that-smart… (you have many copies of the same thing which makes those layers reproducible by re-applying the effects back at opening, and you think you are saving space…)
And… guess what? "Make the file compatible…" (or so) checkbox at saving time WON'T FIX IT.
So, my feature request is:
Wel need a new checkbox like "DISCARD ANY OTHER COMPATIBILITY THAT WOULD BLOW MY FILE OFF RATIONAL LIMITS JUST FOR YOU TO SHOW OFF YOUR APP IS FAST". So the file would only include USABLE, NEEDED data, rather than MARKETING, SHOW OFF data.
It could be a new export option called SAVE FOR PHOTOSHOP.
Yes, "SAVE FOR PHOTOSHOP" in Photoshop.
Innovative, isn't it?
Thanks.

To be honest a file of 200mg or 300mg in not a monster
You're right. Not one, but hundreds make a monster. Version-1, Version-2, Version-1a…
Again, There's no bigger laptop than my Unibody 17" i7… and Layouts is not the only thing I have in there. BUT I'm not a printer, and printers won't travel with their mega files.
May be you need a bigger suitcase, or you don't go mobile
I never had compaint before when I was a pre-press man, but now that web ate print, there should definitely be an option for discarding all that data. I don't like to be pushed to buy higher technology. I KNOW it can be done, but marketing says we have to buy online space, mobile me, to use PSD online… so seems the bigger the files the better.
I BET they'll ULTRA compress the files and they'll XCREW YOU on loading time once they own the server, the ISP, and all that extra bandwidth appear in THEIR bill instead of ours, hehe.
So you can work on any document at a much lower resolution than you need for its output.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I was the first one in yell "Let's work all our files at 75DPI with SO and let's make them bigger before going to press.

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.

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.

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..

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...

What processes are included in 'save for the web'

When I save a photo using the Photoshop CS3 'save for the web' command, I resize the photo to, for example, 800 pixels on the long side. It comes back the correct size but sometimes the colors look different (a little red usually). Is this because I was editing the original photo in RGB? Should I convert to profile, sRGB before I save for the Web? Or does Photoshop do this automatically? OR, should I convert to sRGB and then do color adjustments for the web?
Sorry, I'm a little confused about this...
Thanks,
Jody

Photoshop is color managed. However, the web is not, so when you save to web, you lose your color management. If you want to see what is going to happen after SFW, you should set the color to sRGB, as you guessed.
However, that will only set the way the color looks on your monitor. It could vary wildly on anyone else's monitor.

Save for later option in Global Creation

I have a business case where the user needs to save the form that he is completing for later completion. This has to happen only in the Global Creation activity. Since the instance is not created, how can I store information in ALBPM other than in the database and retrieve it when the user tries to initiate and refill the same form ?
Is there a way to do it in ALBPM where one can identify this SAVE FOR LATER request and re-open the form for completing it later?

Hi,
You can have an activity after the begin with similar form as the global creation activity and make this activity reachable when the user clicks on the 'Save for Later' button (using conditional transition right after the begin)
in this way, if the user decides to submit then...it will go the standard way ...but if clicks on the Save, data will be stored and the activity will be waiting for
the user in his or her inbox.
The bad thing here is that anytime, we save for later, an instance is created...
Hope this helps

Using save for previous option

I am trying to save a library written in labview 7 to labview 6.1 and am getting the error "Cannot save VI from VI.LIB to previous version". How do I get around this?

You don't need to.
The VI.LIB folder contains VIs that are part of the system.
LabVIEW 6.1 has its own VI.LIB folder with all those VIs in it, unless:
1... You have an add-on toolkit in 7 that you don't own in 6.1
OR
2... You put your own VIs into the VI.LIB folder (always a bad idea).

Please suggest learning material for photoshop elements 7.0/6.0 It came bundled with a wacom bamboo. We would like a book or website targeting OSX

All of the websites and books (elements for dummies from amazon, etc.) seem to focus on windows. The Elements for Dummies even says that Adobe stopped supporting Elements after 4.0. My CD says 7.0 Win/6.0 MAC. How can I find more info on how to use it, besides the manual that came with it? I am not that interested in photo manipulation, but would like to use it for digital painting.Photoshop Elements

With OSX Yosemite around the corner and the next version of PSE due (normally September/October) most books can’t keep pace with the Adobe Creative Cloud which guarantees to keep you up to date.
The Photography plan at $9.99 pm is probably the future.

Save for web in photoshop

Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.
The cellspacing, margins are set to 0. Still i can seem to nudge the page up and left to get rid of the gap.Visually if i left the BG white and my page was black It seems like if there was a margin set around the page about 4px which gives me a white border around the whole page.
I tryied this several times with diffrent psds to test so maybe its a option when exporting on Photoshop or an option when opening it in DreamWeaver??
Thanks

Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.

Have you set the body margins to 0: (the following style rule goes into the head of the documen tor into a stylesheet if you are using one.
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
If you already have a style on the body (maybe a background color or background image, then just add the margin and padding rules to the current body in your stylesheet of the head of the document.
Also: make sure there are no stray <p> paragraph tags sitting above the table or the containing div. These will of course a space above the table or the containing div.
If none of the advice given helps, then please follow John's advice and upload all the site working files to a server and provide a link :-)
As you can see, without actualling seeing the code, it can only be a guessing game by the people trying to help you.

Photoshop save for web unknown error

Hi,
I am trying to save my .avi file to animated gif using photoshop save for web option, but i am getting a unknown save for web error. The .avi file is around 1.5 gb. tried to save the file with Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. My os is Windows 8.1 and i have 8 gb of RAM.
Other details:
Document size : 1800x1200
.avi Frame rate: 50 fps
Please help me

What are the pixel dimensions and the length of the spot?
Can you break up the clip into smaller elements?
I suspect you may be trying to use a file format that is not a good fit for the task.
Why do you want to use gif?

Colour issue with 'Save for Web' - Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac)

Cross posted here, but no answer so far. Sorry for cross posting. For me, this is urgent, but I know it's not for anyone else, so apologies for putting 'urgent'.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/150670-colour-i ssue-save-web-photoshop-elements-6-a.html#post840419
This is a similar issue to this:
Save for web color issue
Except the user who posted the above was using photoshop cs3, and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
When I work on a photo, I get it just right, then go to Save for Web, and the original it previews is loads lighter than the orginal I was working on in the first place. See 'Picture 1' attachment.
I have changed the colour settings on the Save for Web options - I've chosen each one in turn, and none fix the problem.
There seems to be no similar option in PSE6 to this that fixed it in CS3:
IN the save for web box there is a small round button with an arrow in it (near the Done button).
In the list when this button is pressed deselect Convert to sRGB
I used to use PSE2 on a PC, and never had this problem. I didn't need to mess about with colour profiles or anything similar on the PC. The original was the original, not a washed out version of the original. Why spend ages getting the file just right, only for Save for Web to screw it up?
Any advice to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks very much for your reply.
I've uploaded the images here:
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 1.jpg
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 2.png
I deleted the prefs. file you suggested, and then opened PSE6.
I then tried the profile setting you suggested - but it's not an option:
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 3.png
I tried 'remove profile' just in case that worked, but the same effect happens on Save for Web.
Not sure what to try next!
Thanks

Preview options in the "save for web" dialog

According to the reference, the previews in the "save for web" dialog are there only for showing how the image can be seen on various platforms with different gamma values.
But, if we open a non-sRGB image (ProPhoto for example) by the "save for web" option, the preview options (other than the "use document profile) in the "save for web" dialog assign sRGB color space to the image even when the "convert to sRGB" option is unchecked ... this causes unrealistic, dull previews for the image.
What is the reason behind that PS assigns sRGB to the image previews if we uncheck "convert to sRGB" option?

Basically, how animation works with GIF and Save for Web in PSE is that each layer in your document is a frame of animation. So you see one layer, then the next, and so on. You should not see the contents of the last frame/layer when looking at the current/next frame of the animation.
Could you post a screen shot of your layers panel and give us a link to the GIF that is coming out of Save for Web?

Labview 7.1 crashes windows XP when using VI's saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8

I am trying to work with a series of vi's developed in Labview 8 in Labview 7.1. The code was saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8. When trying to use the code in LV7.1 my entire Windows XP system locks up (cursor freezes). Are there any ideas what's going on and how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!
Mike

I have seen some problems with the save for previous option in the past. Instead of saving the entire hierarchy, try seperating the code into several different pieces and saving each piece individually. Then, see if you can open the different pieces in 7.1.
If that doesn't help, you should post some more details, like when exactly does it lock up, does it have things like DLL calls, and maybe attach the code.
Try to take over the world!
