PS jpeg/png often don't save as usable file!

When working in PS CS5. Files will save fine as PSD.
If i go to save a file as a Jpeg or Png (most common way for me to save a pic) often they will save a s a blank white picture (icon). This file won't open. I have to delete teh file and re save, the second time it saves properly.
Here is a pic, the two white files on the right are the improperly saved Jpegs.

The .jpg etc is put in there by PS. i just "save as" then choose the format/extension and quality and this happens.
I normally don't change the file name, i just add a space and then a preceding name such as "to upload" so i know it is complete.
I am just using my C drive as scratch disk currently as i reinstalled windows 7 about one month ago and have not been using PS a lot until the last day or two.
I have had this problem since installing CS5 (not upgrade) for 6 months or so, i just know to check my files after i save them, so it isn't the biggest deal.
I do have all adobe updates installed.
I wasn't finding the answer via google, i assumed i was just using the wrong search parameters.
I was suprised that i am the only one with this problem.
Thansk for the post.

Webutil package don't save and load files

As above, nothing happens but there are no errors. Anybody knows why ?

A BLOB is required. I would recommend that you review and execute the sql script provided with Forms 10.1.2 (in \forms directory). The file name is create_webutil_db.sql. Also review the WebUtil documentation. Here is the reference for specifically this topic.

How to save large + high quality JPEG / PNG for website?

I use Photoshop CS3 to resize and reduce JPEG / PNG images via the "save for web". What is the standard image size in terms of KB for website?
Now, let's say the original image taken from a Nikon D3200 Camera has a standard size of 6016 px X 4000 px and the image quality is PERFECT at 6.5 MB file size.
How can I use Photoshop CS3 to save and maintain the standard size 6016 px X 4000 px, the same image quality but the file size is reduced to maybe 100kb?
Many thanks & regards
FSM

Dear Silkrooster,
I totally agree with you but may I ask what is 3MP? Is it Megapixels or Megabytes? If Megabytes, don't you think 3MB will slow down the loading time of the website?
I want crispy clear images like many websites do. But I am really not sure how other websites do it. Lets refer to Apple website. It has many good quality images and the loading speed is very fast because each images weight around 40KB.
Ok. For my website, I am forced to reduce the size to 600 px X 300 px or 500 px X 350 px. To get around 40KB each i have to use the lowest quality for JPEG which is 10. The end result is TERRIBLE.
My website is also slower to load compare to others. So the question is, what is the optimum setting for resizing for photoshop to be use for web purposes?
My main website: 风水
Initially I inserted a background image with the size 1920 px X 4000 px (because scrolling). Loading time is bad. Then I cut half and inserted only for top background image with the size 1920 x 700 px but this image is still the last to load. How can I make it even smaller in size but maintain good and sharp quality?
Another page: 八字因果
At the first image, once I resized it and set a lower quality, the text "fengshuimaster8u.com" turns blurry.
The issue, is Photoshop capable of resizing images to good quality with a smaller size or do I need to use another program?
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks a lot

I just accidentally 'Don't Save'd a Word document. CAn I get it back?

I just inadvertently "Don't Save"ed a Word document. It had not been Save-ed or Named at any point. CAn I get it back?

You are correct. Time Machine can't backup a file that is not saved. And in "bopdog"s question above, I agree that her chances of getting her Word file back are slim to none. Bopdog specified that s/he never saved the Word file at all. In my experience and testing, I have never seen a Microsoft Office program create an Auto-Recover file of an open, but unsaved file, except when a program crash has occurred. I have seen Excel create an Auto-Recover file of an open document that had never been saved, when Excel crashed. So your point is well taken, and is likely correct in bopdog's case.
However, Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 programs, do save files automatically. If you have not changed the preferences, Office will automatically save an open, previously-saved, file every 10 minutes to the file location of Microsoft Office Auto-Recover documents (by default: Users > usernamehomefolder > Library > Application Support > Microsoft > Office > Office 2011 AutoRecovery). And if you use Time Machine, it will back up the Auto-Recover files every hour.
There are numerous support and forum Q&As across the internet where posters have basically said "if you click 'Don't Save' you are doomed." And there are numerous Q&As that explain where to find MS Office Auto-Recover files, and others that suggest Time Machine as a way to recover files. My post was meant to point out the fact that the combination of Auto-Recover and Time Machine can often allow you to recover a file (with at least some of your otherwise lost work) when you accidentally click "Don't Save."
The reason for my enthusiasm in the post is that I had just recovered several hours of work using the method I described. Here's what happened in my specific case:
I was working on a Word document that had been saved previously.
I spent several hours over the course of a workday bouncing between the open Word document and multitasking with other programs and files.
In the evening I went back to work on the file for a while, then I got distracted.
I went to install some new software and when my Mac asked me to Restart, I blithely shut down all my programs.
When Word asked, I accidentally clicked "Don't Save" on the file that I had been working on off-and-on all day, without saving.
I shut down Word normally and restarted the computer.
I then re-opened the Word file (opened recent documents) and realized that hours and hours of work were gone!
I went to Auto-Recover and there was no Auto-Recover file for the Word document. That is the way Auto-Recover unfortunately works. If you say "Don't Save" it assumes you mean it, and it deletes the Auto-Recover file. You can't get it back.
However, Time Machine backed up the Auto-Recover file. It was still there in my last Time Machine backup. In my case I didn't lose one minute of my work, because the Word file had been sitting there open for hours, without me working on it, and Time Machine backed up the Auto-Recover file every hour.
So yes, you can recover a Word file that YOU did not (recently) save, even if you clicked "Don't Save," because Auto-Recover saves files automatically, and Time Machine backs up the Auto-Recover files. It may not work in every case, but it sure saved my butt a couple days ago. So forgive my enthusiasm, but I was pretty stoked to get a few hours of my life back, and wanted to share this with the Mac community.

When I try to right click "Save As" on photos in my yahoo email, I only get the option of saving as a secure download firefox document. How can I save the photo as it is intended (jpeg, png) ?

If someone includes a photo in the email body message (I use yahoo), if I right click on the image to save it to my computer, I only get the option to save it as a firefox document - secure download. If I save it as such and then click on the link, it takes me to a page full of weird code.
Please advise. I would like to be able to right click on the photo as save the image to my computer.

If Firefox doesn't saves the image with a valid image file extension like .jpg or .png then you need to add that file extensions yourself. You can rename already saved images and change the file extension to get working images. Add quotes around the name while renaming ("image.jpg") if Windows hides the current file extension or refuses to change the name (i.e you get image.jpg.html).

Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name. This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

Jason,
I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

Open jpegs from Premier CS3 in PhotoshopCS3 says locked file will not save to jpeg

When I open a jpeg or tiff, from Premiere to photoshop, and make some modifications (like simply mode to grayscale) and try to save it back to the jpeg it refuses, saying the file is locked and I should go to Explorer, properties and unlock. However the files are not locked in the properties, so my only choice is to save as another file, re-load it itno Premiere, and put it on the timeline. I used to be able to edit directly from Premier to Photoshop, and save - on CS3!
I have no clue what I might have done to cause this, except it is a fresh install of Master Suite on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate.
Any help appreciated.
Jack

I also realize that my saying, "that is the way it works for me," doesn't help you, since it doesn't work for you. Did it EVER work for you? YES IT DID, THAT IS WHAT IS PUZZLING, AND IN CS3 ALSO.
Couple of thoughts/questions:
Are you networked? YES, 2 WSIDE BY SIDE AND A THECUS RAID5 5 TERABYTE DATA BOS WHERE I KEEP MANY VIDEO AND STILLS. Are you logged in as an Administrator? I AM THE ONLY ADMINISTRATOR AND LOGGED IN AS SUCH. Are the Assets on internal (non-mapped) HDDs? IN FACT THE THECUS ACTS JUST LIKE ANOTHER INTERNAL HARD DRIVE, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. I'M NOT MUCH OF A COMPUTER PERSON, SO NOT EVEN SURE WHAT MAPPED MEANS, BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO EDIT FROM PREMIERE BY SIMPLY CLICKING ON EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP, AND THE ASSETS WERE STORED ON THE THECUS, FIXES CAME BACK DIRECTLY TO PREMIERE. NOW THE SAY 'LOCKED' Any on external, or mapped-network HDDs? Are the Assets coming off of some media like CD, or DVD, and not first being transferred to internal HDDs? ALL ASSETS ARE ON INTERNAL DRIVES. I'VE TRANSFERRED SOME MEDIA TO THE SCRATCH DISC INTERNAL DRIVE AND GET THE SAME RESULT. If they originate FROM CD/DVD, are you making sure that they are not listed as Read Only, after copying? ALL I HAVE CHECKED HAVE NO CHECK ON READ ONLY. NONE ARE RECENTLY BROUGHT IN, I HAVE NEARLY 30,000 PHOTOS SEVERAL TERABYTES OF VIDEO. Windows likes to flag them that way, and it can bite you later. Anyone else on your network using these Assets? Are you using them in AE, AI, InDesign, etc., while also using them in Premiere/PS? I ONLY HAVE PREMIERE AND PHOTOSHOP OPEN, I EVEN CLOSED DOWN BRIDGE. Last, do you have Indexing turned on for any of your HDDs, as Windows loves to "lock" files, while it does its indexing. I turn this off for ALL HDDs, especially for my large externals. (Sometimes, when I move the external HDDs from workstation to workstation, XP will turn Indexing back on, and I have to disable this - happens about 10% of the time.) I HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLED COPERNIC TO DO SEARCHING, VISTA IS NOT FINDING THINGS WELL ENOUGH, IT MIGHT BE THE INDEXING, I'LL TRY THAT WHEN I GET BACK THIS AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR THE TIPS AND 20 QUESTIONS. THIS IS THE KIND OF HELP THAT THEY MEAN ABOUT RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS, THANKS
AND PARDON THE CAPS
JACK
"Locking" is usually tied into permissions. That's why I ask about the networking aspects.
Wish I had a quick fix for you.

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable audio file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
1. Save a JPEG as: abc.jpg
2. Save a JPEG as: abc
3. Save a JPEG as: abc.
4. Save a JPEG as: abc.xxx
Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
1. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with): abc
2. No difference than 3 on a PC.
3. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.
4. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.xxx
How is it different from the above on a Mac?
Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here? I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).

Does "save metadata to files" degrade jpeg

I have a commission to add keywords and other metadata to jpeg files already held by the client. I have done this in my LR2. I want to save the metadata to the files for transfer back to their facilities. I will eventually be re-importing the files into their copy of LR2. If I "Save metadata to files" in my LR2, will this degrade the quality of the jpg image?
Thanks for your help.

No. The data is saved back to the file but the JPEG compression algorithm is not reapplied with every metadata save.

How do I save my .pdf files as .jpeg files?

How do I save my .pdf files as .jpeg files? Do this require Acrobat Pro? I don't need all of the bells and whistles, just the ability to save as .jpeg. Please advise.

There's no such thing as Acrobat Reader. If you have the free version then you have Adobe Reader. In which case, see my reply above.
If you have Acrobat (Standard or Pro) then see Dave's reply above.

Why the "Synchronize with Item" property don't save?

I created that table :-
create table syn (col1 number , col2 number);
and in forms 6i ..... I determinate col1 as the value for "Synchronize with Item" .
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6258/synar6.png
and when I test it in runtime , it work correctly and after I saved the data and get out of forms and went to database to ensure the data existing ... I surprised that the data in col2 not existing at all .... wholly empty
SQL> select*from syn;
COL1 COL2
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
8 rows selected.
why the item (COL2) don't save the data that inserted into it automatically by "Synchronize with Item" property ????

i should use copy property not Synchronize ?That's meant for copying values from master to detail, so it would probably not work as you want within the same record. I think you should set the value of the secondary item in pre-insert and pre-update triggers, depending on what you're actually trying to accomplish?

How do I convert file to gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, or swf

I mad a page in COMIC LIFE. I saved it, then when i went on photobucket.com, it gave me a message saying
The file "" does not have a valid image extension.
Valid image extensions are: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, swf.
HOW DO I CHANGE IT?
Thanks

I have never used Comic Life, so I can't tell you how to do it from there. But you could open it in Preview. Control-click the page in the Finder and choose Open with... set it to Preview. Once in Preview, do a Save As and change the Format there.

Adobe Action: Save As JPEG, but stop to let me change the file name?

I'm needing to save about 100 different JPEG files based on one template with differing text in each JPEG.
I've got my layers set up with a template behind, and all 100 text layers on top of each other. So I turn the text layers on one at a time and save as JPEG's with different names.
I'm finding this to be an incredibly arduous process as I have to select "Save As", then scroll through the file types to select JPEG, then save as the desired name.
Is there a way to speed this up, create an action that opens the "Save As" dialogue box with JPEG ALREADY selected so all I have to do is paste the new file name in? Or any other suggestions?
Skipping that one step of having to scroll through in the "Save As" dialogue box to select JPEG would save me TONS of time. But I can't figure out how to do this... I can only figure out a way to create a "Save As" action that has the same name.
Thanks so much!

Thank you for the response, and I will attach screenshots.
I'm not sure how this will help with the description as you haven't specified which part of my original post you don't understand, but see the attached photos and let me know if you have further questions about the process:
My document is laid out with one template, then dozens and dozens of text layers on top for each flide for my client (Consulting 101_1 etc.)
So I have all of the text layers turned off EXCEPT for the single one that I want to save for the slide I want to create (in this example Consulting 101_1)
So I save this slide with the current text layer viewable (Consulting 101_1), select "Save As", then have to navigate to "JPEG" in the 'Format' section.
Then once I've saved that specific slide, I turn off the previous text layer (in this case Consulting 101_1) and turn on the NEXT text layer (in this case Consulting 101_2) and repeat the same thing.
I realize that there is no fast way to do this, but cutting out the need to select 'Format' and scroll down to 'JPEG' every single time would save a massive amount of trouble.
If I could just hit an action key command and have the "Save As" dialogue box pop with with 'JPEG' ALREADY selected as the format, then I could just name the file and move on to the next, cutting out a massive amount of grunt work.
