Resolution Issues in Jpeg Options when Saving

Hi, I am suddenly experiencing an issue when saving Jpeg files in photoshop CS4. I work on hundreds of files at a time. I open the Jpeg photo, edit it and when ready hit 'save' and 'return' to accept the settings which are usually set by default to 12. But recently Photoshop is randomly selecting a lower compression in the Jpeg options when saving. It is only on a few random images though. If I open the original, re-edit the image and save it again, then it usually saves at 12 on the second attempt which is even more strange... Can I lock the settings to by default save all files at level 12 to avoid having to re-edit the shots I happen to miss spotting the change in compression on?
And doesn anyone know what would prompt photoshop to suddenly save certain images in a lower res automatically? I am wasting hours re-editing and double checking files which is very frustrating. Please help!!
Thank you in advance for any asdvice.

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply but the images I'm working on are all shot with the same settings and exported out of iPhoto with the same settings before imported into Photoshop for editing. So they haven't yet been saved in Photoshop. My problem is when I save the file after editing, photoshop is automatically selecting 0 Jpeg image quality rather than 12, which is what it generally selects, except now on these few select images? It's all a bit bizarre because I have used this method for 4 years and now all of a sudden I am having this problem. I assumed I had hit a shortcut somewhere and adjusted the parameters unintentionally. It's rather hard to explain but I hope that makes more sense. Thanks again to anyone who can help, I'm deseperate to get to the bottom of this....

No JPG option When saving from Previewer?

I liked the jpg option when saving a screencapture in Tiger. Why was that jpg option removed in Lion?
Now if you want to save a png image as a jpg you need to buy software to do that.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Export in .jpeg -- it's the same as .jpg -- an explaination for why it has a different extension but is the same thing can be found at the link below.

No crop mark option when saving as PDF in CS4

I am using photoshop CS4 on a PC.
When saving as a PDF on the left hand side option list there is no crop mark/ trim option available (listed with output, compression etc).
When saving as a PDF via the print option the image loses its high res dpi so this method is not an option.
Any suggestions to how i can get the trim mark option when "saving as PDF"?
Thanks :-)

Select show options when placing and select the appropriate crop to choice.

How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

Adobe Edge Animate CC / 2014: Saving issue, program locks up when saving or Save-As

Edge Animate CC (and CC 2014) regularly freezes up when I hit save or save-as.
When the programs does save without crashing/freezing it goes through a nail-biting screen flickering sequence, the mouse becomes inactive, the warning ‘( Not Responding)’ appears momentarily in the programme bar, then the mouse becomes active again
Also as the project grew the programme became slow to respond when designing.
The only way I can make any progress is to do incremental save-as every 10mins and half expect to loose what I’ve just worked on.
I’ve tried updating from CC to CC 2014 , same issue.
My system
Alienware Aurora R4
Win 7 Pro
Intel Core i7 3.60GHz
16GB ram
1TB HDD
250BG SSD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sudeshna, thanks for replying.
It's happening with a specific file, which is quite big, currently have around 90 graphics (png/jpeg) and 180 symbols in the project.
In terms of features i've deliberately not used any Filters (invert, hue-rotate, contrast, etc) as they have issues in various browsers. I'm animating position and along motion path, scale, rotation, skew, clipping, rectangle, circle rounded box, text, timeline-markers, code on symbols and code on timeline.

Issue with pasting text when saving for web and resizing

This seems to be a very specific problem in PS CC 14.2.1 Mac.
I have text in the clipboard.
I go "SAVE FOR WEB" then "SAVE . . ."
I can then paste my name into the "Save As" name dialog.
BUT
If I I go "SAVE FOR WEB" then change the size of the file in the Image Size Box before I "SAVE . . ." I can no longer paste text in the naming dialog box.
I haven't tried this for every permutation in the Save For Web dialog, but saving optimized as JPEG is what I'm having trouble with.
I believe this is a bug.

What might be happening is after you change the image size in the save for web dialog, one of the size fields is still highlighted, so when you paste
in the save as dialog, the name is actually being pasted in one of the size fields in the main save for web dialog.
After you change the size in the save for web dialog press the enter/return key and then see if pasting into the name field of the save dialog in save for web works.

Explain Compression Options when Saving as TIFF

Adobe PhotoShop CS5 offers three options for convertion of a RAW file to TIFF (LZW, ZIP, and JPEG).
I would appreciate if someone can help me to make sense of the following.
I do not understand which of these employ the "run-length encoding" scheme that should make the TIFF
file much smaller than the RAW file. I have used all three types of compression but the only one that
resulted in a subtantial reduction in size was the JPEG compression.
The TIFF file with no compression is actually twice the size of the raw file.
What are the LZW and ZIP compressions actually doing?
Thanks

How did you arrive at the conclusion that the tif should be smaller than the RAW-file?
jpg is a lossy compression, so best avoided uo until the final output.
As for lzw and zip (from the Help):
LZW (Lemple-Zif-Welch) Lossless compression; supported by TIFF, PDF, GIF, and PostScript language file formats. Most useful for images with large areas of single color.
ZIP Lossless compression; supported by PDF and TIFF file formats. Like LZW, ZIP compression is most effective for images that contain large areas of single color.
So image-noise for example can negate all savings and I think zip with 16bit is a problem.

Default Print Options when issuing output

Dear Experts:
I came across a issue regarding print options when issuing output from the billing document.
my first question is, this default print options seems to be coming from my output record as for print immediately option. where does Recipient come from?
my second question is, is it possible that I make the "print immediately" option default by user own settings in SU3?
Thanks in advance.

The recipient normally is the person which is logged in, during the NAST-Entry is saved.
I know, there are several options available in the customizing, but I'm really not sure, so perhaps you can work through the official help located here:
Output Determination (SD-BF-OC) - SAP Library
The "print immediately" option cannot be set to the user-parameters via customizing. I think you have to use a userexit in the messaging to put some lines in there to make this work, but also please work through the official documentation.
If you doesn't find a solution, I think this space match better for such a question:

Errors when saving to SMB mounts (a thorough examination)

Several of the users I support have reported the following issue when trying to save files to the network from Photoshop. I have found several threads about this on both the Adobe forums and the Mac forums. However, in most of the threads the information provided is incomplete or does not control for enough variables. And the result is that Adobe seems to blame Apple, and Apple seems to blame Adobe. So blame aside, here is information that I hope helps Adobe solve the issue at hand.
When saving to a mounted SMB point, users report one of two errors:
Could not save <filename> because of a program error
Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted
I can replicate the issue on:
Lion 10.7.X with Photoshop CS 5
Lion 10.7.X with Photoshop CS 5.1
Snow Leopard 10.6.X with Photoshop CS 5
Snow Leopard 10.6.X with Photoshop CS 5.1
Details:
We have only seen this error in Photoshop. << Adobe has seen the same problems in several other applications >>
I have not tested out whether the issue applies to any other products in the CS suite.
At first I thought the issue might have to do with permissions, but it does not. I have reapplied permissions and the issue persists. And it affects all users, including Domain Admins, such as me, who have no R/W restrictions at any level.
The issue only occurs when Finder is in a view that shows a thumbnail/preview of the image.
Switching Finder to list mode resolves the error in all scenarios
So far I can replicate this with any file on any mount on any of our servers
It only occurs on mounted network points (ie - if I move the files locally, no errors are encountered)
For the following tests, presume the following:
Source folder: smb://example/source/folder
Target folder: smb://example/source/folder
Target sub-folder: smb://example/source/folder/sub
Here are the steps I tested:
Opened the file problem_file.psd.
A warning pops up prompting me to resolve a font vector issue, I chose "Update"
Note: that this error does not pop up for every file, just the original file I worked with, but this warning has nothing to do with the errors being received
Moved a layer so that there would be a change to save
Clicked save
Received the error: "Could not save <filename> because of a program error" << probably related to the known MacOS bug on SMB, or a known Finder/thumbnailing bug >>
The original file, problem_file.psd, is *DELETED* (very problematic) << Known MacOS bug in SMB service, Apple is working on it >>
Then I tested with multiple variations of the following to conrol for things such as layers or font issues:
To eliminate the source file being the issue, I used a .png file that I had created locally with the OS-X screen shot keyboard command. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
In step 2 I chose to not update the font vector issue
In step 4 I tried saving as different file types (.jpg, .png, .gif)
Prior to step 6 I flattend the image to eliminate fonts and layers. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
Prior to step 6 I flattened the image, duplicate the image, closed the original (without saving), and attempted to save the new duplicate. This eliminated layers and fonts as issues.
Each variation still resulted in "Could not save <filename> because of a program error" and resulted in the deletion of the source file.
Next I controlled for saving image previews:
Photoshop -> Preferences -> File Handling
Under File Saving Options -> Image Previews, I set it to "Never Save" previews
Now when I repeated the tests from aobve, I receved the error "Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted".
Next I controlled for .DS_store files:
Disabled .DS_Store file creation on remotely mounted points.
Deleted the .DS_Store file for the source folder
Verified that .ds_store files were not being created on remotely mounted points
Ran the tests above, and the issue persisted: "Could not save <filename> because write access was not granted"
Now I decided to test sub-folders:
Created a target sub-folder.
Repeated the test above, and its variations, but saving the problem_file.psd to the target sub-folder.
Still received one of the two errors, depending on the variation, but the source file is no longer deleted. This make sense because saving in another directory is really a "save as", and one would not expect safe saving (talked about more later) to affect source files in this scenario.
Sort of a Solution:
Open the file from Finder
Depending on the Finder view, Finder shows a thumnail of the image
Go back to Finder and select a different file
Make changes to the file
Save the file
No error is received
This is when I discovered that the error only occurs when Finder is in a view that shows a thumbnail/preview of the image. Further testing of Finder show that in Cover Flow the error only occurs for the selected image. For example:
Cover flow shows thumbnails/previews of files: A, B, C, D, E
Open A
In Cover Flow select file B
The thumnails of of files A, B, C, D, E are still visible
Make a change to the open file
Save the change
No error is received
This shows that Finder is treating the thumbnails/previews of unselected files different than selected files.
An Interesting Twist:
If from the last scenario with Cover Flow...
Open file A
Go back to Finder and select a different file
Then make a change and attempt to save to the target sub-folder
Receive the error "Could not save <filename>" because of a program error.
Discussion:
Photoshop does something called safe saving.
Photoshop saves the current document to a temporary file with a unique name
Photoshop deletes the original file << this is incorrect >>
Photoshop moves the temporary file to a file with the name of the original file that was deleted in step 2 << incorrect: the temp file replaces the original with an OS call to a function that is supposed to be an atomic operation >>
However, you can see that "safe saving" is misnamed, because while the original is deleted, Photoshop does not appear to be correctly ensuring that permissions exist to allow the temporary file to be ranemd or that the temporary file was renamed without error. Photoshop is either:
Not checking for the error << yes, it is >>
Checking for the permissions and not catching the error << incorrect >>
Checking for the permissions and giving an error to generic to discern the exact problem from. << also incorrect >>
Somewhere there is a conflict (perhaps a race condition) between:
Photoshop creating the temporary file
The server applying permission to the newly created temporary file
OS-X reporting the file has been created
Photoshop deleting the original file
Photoshop saving the new file
Finder updating the thumbnail of the file
As I've shown here, the problem doesn't seem to reside fully with Apple or fully with Adobe. Hopefully this post provides enough information for some clever engineer to create a fix.
My information about safe saving is from an Adobe mod on a previous thread regarding this issue << and copied incorrectly, plus added bad assumptions>>. He detailed the process and also explained that Photoshop uses OS APIs to create and delete the files during safe saving. If his details are accurate, it seems that a temporary fix would at least change the safe saving process to the following:
Photoshop saves the current document to a temporary file with a unique name
Photoshop moves the original file to a temporary backup file (original-file-name.original-extension.bak)
Photoshop moves the temporary file to a file with the name of the original file moved in step 3
Photoshop checks to make sure that the temporary file has been succesfully renamed
If the temporary file has successfully been renamed, it deletes the backup file from step 2 OR if the temporary file has failed to be renamed, the backup is returned to its original file name
The appropriate error message, if any, is displayed

You got several details wrong.
And it sounds like you are describing 2 known MacOS bugs:
1) The OS fails when creating or swapping files on SMB servers, and this happens more often on files that have a resource fork.
2) The Finder/QuickLook/Thumbnailing holds a file busy when it should not, causing program errors or file is busy errors.
We did as much as we could to work around these issues in Photoshop CS6 - after spending a lot of time debugging the OS issues and working with Apple.
Apple is still working on proper fixes within the OS.

PSE4. Save as/JPEG Options/Quality. Can I select a default=12?

XP Pro, 3GB RAM
Due solely to carelessness, I have several times overwritten a JPG file of high resolution with one of low resolution, using the JPEG Options dialog window. This has happened when the setting is 3 on the scale of 0 to 12, but I did not select the "3" setting. Something in the PSE4 logic must set it, I presume. When I am closing a batch of images, and it is preset to 3, I manually set it to 12, and for several successive files, some logic resets it back to 3. After several close/save instances, the logic seems to get it that I want 12, and it quits resetting it to 3. (Now retired, I have decades of experience as a professional computer programmer, so I know that there must be some code that sets the quality to 3.)
I have often been able to recover from my overlooking the quality = 3 setting, by rescanning, reloading from my camera memory card, etc., but sometimes it is too late. I want to be able to set a "preference" for the quality to be 12, all the time, obviously with the option to reduce it when I want. Does this functionality exist in PSE4?

I don't think so. PSE warns you though, when overwriting a file. That may
be a good opportunity to reset the quality. Which brings up another point;
the original image file should really not be overwritten, but kept like a
"negative", so one can go back to it if an accident like you described
happens.

Incorrect Format When Saving Stills - Bug?

Hi,
I have a QT movie exported from FCP which I opened in QT Pro 7.2 and tried to export a frame with "Movie to Picture", using Photo-JPEG. The still is always saved in a PICT format. I tried other formats like TIFF but the result is always the same - a PICT format, according to the still's icon and Preview. This issue seems to occur in all QT movies, whether exported from FCP or not.
Looks like a QT Pro bug to me. I do not have this problem with exporting frames from FCP.

Does this mean that the export is actually in the specified format despite its icon and or what?
The graphic is stored as a PCT file (i.e., in the PCT file format). The Photo-JPEG, TIFF, None, etc. drop down box allows you to set the "Compression" format for the data. For instance, if you select none, the saved PCT file will be on the order of 1.2 MBs. On the other hand, if you select the the Photo-JPEG option, the saved PCT file will be on the order of 120 KBs or 1/10th the file size.
However, no matter which compression format is used, the file will expand to its umcompressed size if dropped/added back to the movie in another physical location. To avoid a really big instantaneous bit rate for that one frame, you may prefer to simply copy a single frame within QT Pro (as explained by Radford) and paste it in a new desired location. On the other hand, if you are not re-inserting the graphic back into the file, you don't have to worry about any of this.

Where did the .jpeg option go when saving?

I used to be able to save a .cr2 file that I had edited in the .jpeg format. For some reason that is no longer offered as an option in the drop down menu when I use 'save as'. Where did the .jpeg option go?

It's not there because the CR2 image is using 16-bit color.
Either:
Change the bit depth in Camera RAW to 8-bit before opening it in the Editor.
In the Editor, use Image...Mode...8 bits/channel.

How can I avoid image 'distortion' when saving jpegs from Photoshop?

I've created a logo with a transparent background and saved as an eps in Illustrator CS3. To create a jpeg I then opened opened the eps in Photoshop CS3, set the resolution at 300ppi and then saved the image as a jpeg. The image views ok on screen but when it is inserted into a word document and then printed, the background of the image is 'blurry' - it has small red dots through and you can see also the 'edges' of the image. Not sure what I'm doing wrong! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the ideas. Had to have a jpeg at the 'clients' request so I couldn't use the .psd and .png options.
I came across some info stating MS Word doesn't support CMYK jpeg which I did not realise. So to solve the issue, I ended up opening the eps file as a Smart Object in RGB colour mode at the required resolution in Photoshop CS3 and then saving as jpeg. The jpeg then printed perfectly after being inputted into a Word document - no blurriness or resolution issues. I just had to advise the 'client' about the colour issues with RGB vs CMYK and not to use the jpegs for any professional printing.
Thanks again.

Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

What program are you using to view the PDFs?
