Resizing for the web

I belong to a forum that shares nature photos.  The requirement for posting is 1200 pixels on the longest side.  In my old program (Elements 6) I could resize and type in the pixel length I wanted.  In Elements 10 which I just bought, I am given the options when resizing for adjusting width and height in percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, and columns  -  but not pixels.  How do I adjust to 1200 pixels on the longest side when resizing for the web?

  Make sure constrain proportions and resample image are both checked.
Then change the pixel box for the long side and the short side will change automatically.
Alternatively click File à Save For Web
Then set your dimensions and click OK (you also get a before and after preview) with save for web.

  • Resize for the web

    I believe there is a way to re size a batch of images for the web in PSEv4. In the editor you can re size for the web, about 700x500 pixels at 72 resolution, but I can not find out how to do it by group rather than individually.
    Mickey

    From Editor, you can use Process Multiple Files facility, but this won't actually do a Save for Web [i.e. doesn't strip off metadata etc.].
    From Organizer, File/Export doesn't help either, as it doesn't strip metadata.
    You can cheat from Organizer by creating an HTML gallery and "harvesting" the images it creates, as these seem to have been saved in an optimum way.
    But, of course, someone will know another way ...

  • Resizing for the web in PS CC

    I am a photographer and using the upgrade trial to PS CC.  In a previous version of PS, I was able to resize images for my clients for web use via the following:  Image Size > and set with the following: Resolution 72 dpi, with scale styles, with constrain proportions, interpolation: bicubic.  How can I get the same/similar output with PS CC?  I see how to set scale styles, and assume 72 pixels per inch.  But what other settings?  FIT TO: custom or original size?  RESAMPLE: Bicubic Sharper (Reduction)?  Any other changes I should be making?  Thanks!

    I don't understand your problem.  Exactly what is it you can't do?
    I resize for web imagery all the time.  I'm not seeing any restrictions.
    By the way, I suggest you don't use Bicubic Sharper, but rather sharpen the image a bit heavily at the original resolution (or a resolution higher than the final result) then downsample the image with Bicubic.  That will yield a higher quality sharpness without as many edge artifacts.
    Here are a couple of quick examples of a high detail images done as I described:

  • Resize for the web in cs5

    Having problems resizing images for a website template. Images must be 1275x650. I'm in Cs5. Is there some trick to cropping the image to fit the size without distorting the image.

    You may be confusing the Image Size dialog with the Crop Tool. Select the crop tool and, in the tool bar, type in the pixel values of your desired image (example: 1275 px, 650 px). Crop and Save for Web and Devices (under the File menu).

  • 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");

        var file = fileList[z];
        open(file);
        var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

  • Problems with PSE 10 when saving for the web.

    I'm having problems saving for web with PSE 10. I edit in RAW, edit in PSE 10, save as Jpeg, resize and save for the web.  Results are muddled and not sharp (looks cartoonish). Also, there is no metadata when you look at the image properties.  I uninstalled the program and installed again. No change.

    Are you resizing the photo before save for web?
    What settings are you using in the save for web dialog for the jpeg quality?
    If you compress the jpeg too much (low quality settings below 60), that can make your photos look bad.
    And save for the web in pse 10 automatically strips any metadata in order to keep the file sizes smaller.
    Also, the save for web in pse 10 has a bad habit of not remembering your last used settings, so it's good to verify that your actually set to jpeg instead of the default GIF setting.

  • 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 the web jagged fonts nightmare

    Hi
    Can't export anti-aliased smooth fonts using save for the web. The fonts are jagged.
    How can save for the web the same smooth quality that I see on the screen?
    Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OS X 10.8.3
    Thanks.

    What is the size of the art and are you enlargening it in the browser using CSS or manually adjusting the size?
    In both cases I am using save for web. In the first instance I am exporting at 100% size, 200% size in the next instance. If you are resizing in CSS/manually, export from Illy at the desired size.

  • 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.

  • Export for the Web and File Naming : Batch problem in Photoshop CC

    Is it possible to use "File Naming" when you are using in a batch "Save for the Web" export ?
    What I want to do:
    I have images that I need to resize, crop and rename (change "filename.jpg" to "filename_850x490.jpg" and make an optimisation for the web
    I want to create an action that I can use in a batch
    What is working :
    I can use my action (resize, crop, save) and use file renaming option if I use "save as" options
    I can use my action (resize, crop, save for the web ...) but the file renaming option are not use at the export,
           So I have to create two actions (one for resize, crop and rename and an other to compress images with "save for the web"
    ==> What's wrong with "File rename" and "save for the web"?
    Thank You for support !
    My Environement :
    Photoshop CC : last update
    OS : Windows 8 Entreprise - 64 bits
    Proc : Intel Xeon CPU E5 3.00 GHz - Ram : 8 GB - GPU : AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)

    Probably a lot easier if you use the Image Processor Pro script

  • Optmizing big image for the web

    Dear Friends,
    In the 1st place I apologise if this is not the most apropriate forum to post my question but its web / image related, hence my doubt.
    I have this big image file that I need to publish on the web but even before optimizing the picture I should scale it down by over 60%. Right now 'save for the web' won't even take it...If I use the 'image size' menu to simply resize it (to 900 x 300px) the quality of the image becomes very poor so I wonder, is it better to scale it down first using the 'edit/transform/scale' option?
    Also, if you will be so patient: on a webpage with no other images what would be the approx.maximum size acceptable for it to still load quickly?
    I'm sorry if it sounds like I haven't done my homework - and honestly I've tried - but I can't find conclusive answers and the perfect pictures on the web (like I see often) remain an undisclosed mistery for me.
    Thanks a lot

    Like Zeno said use Bicubic Sharper.
    Also keep in mind that when you make an image smaller you are throwing away data so of coarse it not going to be as detailed as the original. actually I would bet you can open your image in SFW. You are just getting a warning that its a big image. Just open it anyway then you can adjust the size and quality of the image to your liking.

  • 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.

    I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)   If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly  – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display   Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?   There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.  MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.
