PNG for a WEB: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow"?

I need to do for a WEB many PNG icons (aprox. 70x70 pixels e/a). There will be like 20 of them loaded in the WEB at the same time.
PLEASE, which kind of compression I should pick when I save as a PNG: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow", and "Interlaced" or not?
My main concern is that the WEB page should load them the fastest possible.
Thank you in advance !

Smallest/Slow seems the best choice (I think the "slow" part refers to how long it will take to save, not load) I haven't found a browser that doesn't deal with that setting. I never use Interlaced myself; gone are the days when pages paint pixels before your very eyes.
Consider saving from within the Save For Web feature, which can be configured to save no additional metadata and no color profile.
Consider also just trying the different settings, then looking at the files yourself. That's how those giving advice have likely learned the best settings.

Saving JPG to PNG using Save for the Web

Morning
I came across Paul Riggott's script for saving PSD to PNG which I changed to JPG to PSD.
The only problem with this is that the file size in most cases is larger than the original.
Is there a way to do a save as for the web as well?
Here is the original code:
#target photoshop
var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select top folder to process");
var folderList=[];
if (imageFolder != null) {
processFolder(imageFolder);
folderList.unshift(imageFolder);
createPNGfromJPG(folderList);
function createPNGfromJPG(folderList){
for(var a in folderList){
var fileList = folderList[a].getFiles ("*.jpg");
   for (var z in fileList){
    var file = fileList[z];
    open(file);
    var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var saveFile = File(decodeURI(fileList[z].path+"/"+Name+".png"));
    SavePNG(saveFile);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function processFolder(folder) {
    var fileList = folder.getFiles()
     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        var file = fileList[i];
if (file instanceof Folder) {
folderList.push(file);
       processFolder(file);
function SavePNG(saveFile){
    pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
    pngSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    pngSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
    pngSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    pngSaveOptions.quality = 1;
pngSaveOptions.PNG8 = false;
    pngSaveOptions.transparency = true;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
Any help or support to head me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

OUTPUT PNG W/ Alpha for the web?

Hello to everyone.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this...
I need to output my file as a PNG with an ALPHA Channel for the web. First, I created an alpha for my image, and then I tried to simply use the "save as" function and select the PNG format, but the ALPHA selection is grayed out. I've also tried "the save for web function" and selected transparency, but when I reopen the file the alpha channel has dissappeared. I know that it is possible to save an alpha channel to a PNG, but I can't seem to do it with Photoshop... Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Bryce

Hello Zeno Bokor
Thanks for your reply.
In fact, my client, who is using the images for a web game that they are developing, requested that the files have an Alpha channel. They have explained that the alpha channel helps the video program understand what areas are transparent.
I wish that it was just a case of transparency... It would be hell of a lot easier.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

JSX Save PNG for web, quality parameter not changing file size

Hi
I have a script that uses this snippet of code to save png files for web. But, no matter what number I change the quality, the resulting file size and image fidelity remains the same.
I was wondering if I can save pngs for web at smaller byte size with JSX and how to modify the output settings.
docName = sourceDoc.name;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/" + docName );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
options.transparency = true;
options.blur = 0.0 ;
options.includeProfile = false ;
options.interlaced = false ;
options.optimized = true ;
options.quality = 3 ;//THIS NUMBER DOES NOT CHANGE QUALITY IF CHANGED FROM 0.1 TO 100
options.PNG8 = false ;
sourceDoc.exportDocument(File( NamesaveRef), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
Thanks for your help.
Aubrey

PNG does not have a quality setting. The quality property is used when exporting jpeg. That is why changing that property has no effect with PNG files.
Photoshop now supports PNG compression but as far as I can tell you have to use Action Manager to save. I don't see a compression option when using saveForWeb.

How to create clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator

I am puzzled to death on how in the world to get clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator, particularly white text. I want my text to turn out exactly like the text at this website: thepainteddoor.org
If you scroll down to the bottom of that page, notice the titles "Featured Media", "Social Networking", and "Contact Information". They are all .gif images. I have tried to replicate what these images look like for about 3 hours now to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this? It just looks like a simple outline or drop shadow, but I can't get it to show up like that. If someone could help me replicate that effect with text (aka make it show up clean as an image), I would graciously give them money through PayPal*.
* = I will only give cash if it will replicate it exactly (and I mean exactly)..and it won't be too much..I'm a poor college student. :-P
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

You would do it the way I created it:
Select the Text tool in Photoshop and set the font and parameters as I have listed. Then enter whatever text you like. It will be rendered over the top of the lower layers you may have in the document. Save as an image of the appropriate type and you're there.
Note that "lower layers you may have in the document" could conceivably be none at all (i.e., you render the text over a transparent document). You could imagine saving that as a .png with transparency and get light text in an image that could then be put over the top of anything else. The alpha mixing will see to it that the edges smoothly blend with the background. I haven't actually tried this (I usually do try my own suggestions) because of lack of time right now.

One Search service application for multiple web applications in a single server

We are planning to host 17 Web applications in a single Server. Do I need to create search service application for each web application or I need to create one Search service application , create a Content source for each web
application and create a Result source for filtering. Which is the best approach. And which approach takes more RAM memory.
In my application I am using Search web part, "Recently Changed Items", "Popular Items" web parts. when I created only one one Search Service application for all web applications and using Result sources ,
I am not getting the results. What could be the problem.

Hi,
One SSA is ok, but you should think about access rights. If the access is clear cut between all the web apps you should be ok with one SSA. Multiple result sources limiting on content source also works, but could easily be bypassed.
Multiple SSA's will eat up RAM/CPU like a mother :)
As for popular etc.. it could be due to how those sources are set up, but haven't investigated or tested this much.
Thanks,

Looking for a web based filemanager (or similar).

Hello,
I have a small server at home hosting all my files and I am looking for a simple setup to be able to access these files from pretty much every where.
Usually I'm using ssh or sftp but the thought of being able to access the files through a web interface is really sounding good. So, I have been searching for a web based file manager and found a few, but none that really made me go wow.
The best so far is probably Ajaxplorer. One thing that I'm looking for though is a PAM authentication feature which Ajaxplorer doesn't have. Are there any web based file managers around that supports this?
Or... maybe I'm looking for the wrong things. Are there other nifty solutions available for accessing files on a remote folder through a web interface?

zenlord wrote:
If PAM authentication is all you're missing, why don't you setup http_auth?
THX for the suggestion, I was looking for something like this myself and the next version should have LDAP_auth - alrighty then!
Zl.
http_auth... do you have any nice links on how to use it? I've never heard of it
Ajaxplorer is quite nice after all and setting up repositories isn't all that bad. Looks like I'm sticking to it while I continue my search for another app.

Office Web Apps - how to disable office web apps features for one web application

ENV: Sharepoint 2010 farm with office web apps + fast search
I have the requirement for one web application to open all its documents in client applications - I can enable feature "OpenInClient". This web application uses team site template and other web application also uses team site template. ( feature
stapling ruled out) Now I can run powershell cmdlet to enable this feature on all the currently existing site collections. But the requirement is to enable this feature for all the future site collections. This web applications has 60 k site collections
and atleast more than 10 site collections get created each day and they dont like the option to run a powershell script each day to activate this solution.
Is there any other way to by default activate new site collections on this WA to open in client applications by default (can we disable this office webapps features only on one web app)?
VM

I have learnt from this forum that it is not possible to turn off Office web apps on single web application. The line of control lies at farm level and then at site collection.

Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates. It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site. The App Pool and Timer
Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
ID:
Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

Thanks for your reply. Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause. As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine. I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
and another on http://notworkingapp. The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly. In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file. For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post). I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed. If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed. In other
words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library. I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
the alias. Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed. I then do the reverse, and it works again.
On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp. Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
- the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue". If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue. The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
Enable incoming email and confirm it works
Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
Enable a new email alias for a library
Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

HD video compressed for the web

I was doing some testing trying to figure out the best way to compress the HD video I get from the Sony XDCAM HD for the web (streaming). I shoot in HD (1080/30P) because it's needed for our videos. The web streaming is secondary.
I would prefer to make the web videos .flv because it works best and most easily cross-platform. In the real world, the majority of users have Windows PCs, which made me hesitant to use h.264 (.m4v) because it probably would require the average user to download things they may not wan to. Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browers.
So, I took three 10 second clips of steady camera video with audio from the camera that I used in all tests. I will refer to them by clip number...
Clip 1: 30P 16:9 High quality, 10sec=45mb
Clip 2: 30P 16:9 Low Quality, 10sec=24mb
Clip 3: 60i 16:9 High Quality, 10sec=45mb
First I tested making FLV is Adobe CS3 Encoder using the High Quality (700) setting.
Test 1 used size 848x480 (16:9)
Clip 1: 1.3mb
Clip 2: 1.1mb
Clip 3: 1.2mb
Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
Test 2 used size 480x270 (16:9)
Clip 1: 1.2mb
Clip 2: 1.1mb
Clip 3: 1.1mb
Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
Next, I tested making .m4v using the h.264 iPod settings in Compressor.
Test 1 used size 640x370.
Clip 1: 240kb
Clip 2: 1440kb
Clip 3: 204kb
Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... why? I don't know, but I don't shoot on LQ for things anyway.
Test 2 used size 320x180.
Clip 1: 160kb
Clip 2: 865kb
Clip 3: 865kb
Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... also the 60i file...why? I don't know.
In conclusion, I'm lucky that I shoot 30P since it worked well in all areas. The h264 codec provides a much smaller file size than Flash, with a good image. Amazing considering we started with a 45MB clip. What are the standards for aspect ratios for putting 16:9 video on the web? I haven't heard much set in stone like you have for 4:3 video. Nonetheless, the 640x360 or 480x270 seem to be a nice size for most uses.
I have heard that in Flash 9 you can chance the m4v extension to flv and it will work. IF that is true, that would be great because now my concern is that a base Windows PC cannot play these .m4v images without plugins/codecs. I suppose right now its a tradeoff between smaller file size/less compatibility with h264 or larger file size, great compatibility with Flash.
Any comments or suggestions to help out would be great. I typed this fast so forgive me if I left out any important info.

Hi APPLE27:
One comment from your post that immediately caught my attention was this, "Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browsers."
Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect one digital video file to be viewable on "all computers in all browsers" as there are simply too may variations in both hardware and software.
A common approach when offering digital video is to provide two formats to choose from and then within each of those two formats a few versions of the video for different bandwidths.
For example, a web site might offer Video for Windows and QuickTime. For each of these, there would be a low bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file and a high bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file (four files total). Of course, there's also Flash Video, Real Video, MPEG1, and so on.
For better or worse, YouTube.com has allowed video content creators the realistic expectation of creating a digital video file that is viewable on "most computers". But, the video is unavoidably tied to that web site.
When it comes to online distribution of video, it's still very open ended.
Also, computers are not all that's out there. Mobile devices are a huge market and you'd be hard pressed to create a single digital video file that will play on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, Palm Treo, Sony PSP, etc.) either from local storage or from a mobile browser.
QuickTime offers a solution for creating a referencing movie - one file that links to other digital video files, but it too is imperfect at best when it comes to reaching the broadest audience possible.
With my few comments here, I'm just scratching the surface. But, it all starts where you are right now: caring about the image quality when exporting from your edited master.

Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

Hello everyone,
I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
2. Format: QT Movie> Options
3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
4. Frame Rate>15
5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
6. Compressor> Medium
7. Data Rate: Automatic
8. OK
9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
10. OK
11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
12. OK
13. SAVE
This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
Any help would be appreciated:)
Matt

Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

Save for the web seq

I need to save for the web an animation of about 100 frames. The problem is the only way to do that seems to be saving the file as a gif but I need to keep them frame by frame. I was wondering if there is a way to save for the web the entire sequence and keep it as a jpg or png.
Tx

Simply render the animation to whatever format you find suitable using File --> Render Video, then convert the result using batch processing.

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

PNG for a WEB: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow"?
