Rapid Navigation When Using "Save As"

I have recently been able to move back to a Mac after being in the Windows world for ~10 years. One of the things I used regularly in Windows is rapidly moving to new file locations by pasting a path. For example, if a folder window is open the complete path is displayed as the address in the Windows Explorer window. If this text is selected and copied, then when a Save As window comes up this can be pasted in front of a back slash and file name to save the file in the new location without needing to navigate from the default location offered by the application. Or, if just pasted into the file name spot the Save As window moves to the location provided. This can be much faster than navigating up a path and down another branch. Is there a way to do this on the Mac?

Hi.
You can drag the folder you want to save the files to, or an alias to it, over the "Where" field on the Save As dialog. You'll see the plus sign appear on the dialog window.
It's not exactly what you wanted, but it may help you.
Good Luck.

Show folder navigation when using Save As

I'm working on a video project that involves resizing photos of varrying size to a standard video resolution. I've created a new document with one of the preset video file sizes and I'm dragging and dropping files from their folder into the open document, resizing them, making color adjustments and then saving the .psd file back into the folder they belong. The issue is that I have over 50 directories and when I do a Save As I have to back out of the last directory used and scroll down the list to get to the correct directory to save the image in the correct folder.
Is there a way to show the same folder navigation panel in Photoshop that you see in a standard explorer window? This would allow me to switch directories with one click instead of having to back out, scroll down and then select the next folder.
I'm using Windows as my OS.

No, PS only uses the simplified file dialogs. There is no way to change that.

Why can't a new folder be created within my user home directory when using 'Save As' in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
So I want to create a new folder within my main user home directory (not the root directory) just for my developer-related files? I can do this from Finder, although it does prompt me for my password to do so. However, when using 'Save As' from any app, the 'New Folder' button is greyed out when I select my user home directory. So I have to create the folder in Finder then Save As.
Is this normal behavior? Is OSX discouraging me from adding things to my user home directory by making it less convenient? Is there a good reason it would be discouraging me from creating new folders there? If not, is there a setting that I can change to allow the creation of new folders from the Save As prompt?
Thanks for your help,
B

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
Example:
- Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
- Use the splice tool in PS6.
- Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
OR:
When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

Illustrator CS4 crashes when using save drop down menu on MacBook Pro Yosemite

Illustrator CS4 crashes when using save drop down menu on MacBook Pro Yosemite. Just purchased a new laptop and it has Yosemite installed.

Hi Parisian tiger
What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
Please do let me know about your time availability ?

Problems with COLOUR when using "save as".

Running on Mac, get dulled out and purple colour tone when using "Save As". When using "Save for Web.." colours are OK. Colour profiles and images coming into Raw are set as sRGB. Can anyone help?? I do have to convert to 8 bit to save as JPG. Any help appreciated.

The Print version is what a ProPhoto file looks like when viewed as if it was sRGB - i.e. in a non-color managed application. So there's still a ProPhoto profile here.
Here you can see how the colors shift by going between sRGB and ProPhoto (using assign and/or convert). Your original is in the middle. You can see it's the very same color shift:
If you convert to sRGB and you still get the same outcome, which you shouldn't, maybe the preferences are corrupt. Or maybe user error and you still have ProPhoto embedded.

Getting prompted to Save As when using Save option

We would like to deploy Reader XI with Protected Mode enabled. We have noticed that when using the Save option the user receives a prompt to Save As instead. I understand this is a security feature to basically grant Reader/Acrobat permission to save to this location.
Issue is that we have in house software that opens the PDF using Reader allowing the user to make markups and then save, but if the user saves the file to a different location this will cause the in house software to fail. Older version of Reader with Protected Mode disabled allows just the save to be used and the original file location to be preserved.
Is there anyway to white list this Directory so that Reader can save to it without a Save As prompt?
Only fix I know of currently is to disable Protected Mode but we would like to avoid that if possible
Thanks

There is a notation in the documentation that may be relevant.
"Permissions granted by other features often overlap. For example, cross domain policies, internet access settings in Trust Manager, and certificate trust settings for certified documents sometimes interact so that the most permissive setting takes precedence. Users should TEST THEIR CONFIGURATION prior to deployment."
Have you checked the possible overlapping features?

Difference in PDF page size when using Save versus Save As

I am having a problem when I save PDFs from Illustrator with the page size changing
When saving as a PDF from Illustrator CC (Mac OS 10.6.8) the page size of the resultant PDF should be the size of the artboard.
Create New File
Save as PDF (Illustrator Default setting)
Open PDF in Acrobat
The page size equals the size of the artboard
Open same file back into Illustrtor
Edit the file in some way (draw a box outside of the artboard)
Reopen the file back into Acrobat, now the Page size is different from the artboard.
If I resave the file using save as, essentially overwriting the old file, the artboard is back as it should be.
It is almost as if Save As is using the artboard, but Save uses artwork bounds.
This appears to be a glitch but I have not been able to isolate the cause. Tried trashing prefs, didn't help. Had th same problem in CS5, couldn't figure it out then either, so I don't think this is version specific problem.
This problem is specific to my workstation, as my co-workers do not have the same problem, unless they start working on a file I created. Could be some kind of virus like problem.
Anyone had expeirences with this issue? I had really hoped upgrading to CC would have cleared this up but it seems to be following me, which is why I thought trashing prefs would have cleared it up.

Finally found someone with the exact same problem. Our entire department of 7 people is having this same issue. It is strange becasue we can't isolate where it starts.
If we save our PDF back to .ai file,
close and reopen Illustrator CC,
open the .ai file and save to PDF again,
then the file is "clean" and works as expected.
But then somewhere down the line we get another file that does the same thing. Then any file we open after that will have the same problem, unless we repeat the process I mentioned. This has been consistent between Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC.
This started happening about 2-3 weeks ago (mabe longer?) and is killing us when we run our PDF to our step and repeat workflows because they use the trim and bleed size for placement and this is being ignored. I am looking for a solution as well.

Photo losing color/contrast when using "save as" to save it.

When I first started using CS6 I would edit my photos and when I used "save as" to save my photos then open them in a different photo viewer they would have lost a lot of color and contrast. When I reopened them in CS6 they still had no color. This is all occured on my PC. I used to use PSE 7 (on my PC) and the "save as" function to save them and they turned out fine. I recently got an iMac and when saved on there the same way and reopened in a different viewer they'd have the correct color, but when opened on my PC the color would be lost again. Also tried opening the images I saved on my PC in CS6 on the iMac and they still had no colo/contrast. So that would mean it's not a monitor calibration thing. I'm trying to figure out how to save my photos so they have the best quality they can have for printing and also the correct color for clients to view on their computers. Hope this all makes sense, it's a little confusing. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks!
PS: I did use the "save for web" option on my PC and the photos have the correct color that way! But those aren't the proper size and stuff for printing. Also I'm very new to iMac and full photoshop so I'm not sure what sizes/pixels/color modes/etc are normal or what photos are supposed to be.

It has to do with embedded profiles and what app you are using to open on PC

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 convert to sRGB for the systems that do not fully support color management.
and...
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.
