Safe for Web files have no thumbnail
would anyone know why my saved for web files in CS6 are appearing as a blue box with a question mark. I'm using the trial version

Could you be more specific? Where are they appearing as a blue box with a question mark?
My guess is the file extension is not being saved to the file (.JPEG or .GIF). If you know which format the files are supposed to be, try renaming one of them by adding the extension (if it is not there) and see if they start to work.

Latest version of Firefox has totally stuffed my computer. Nothing works properly and all settings for web pages have disappeared.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

There's even an image of how to get the credentials (-: And it's safe to update else I would have already disabled or post warnings about the update feature.To be honest when I click on the link while holding cmd (on mas on windows CTRL) to open it in new window the credentials just doesnt show up... but when I click on it normally so it redirects me they are there... probably some kind of glitch EDIT: also could you take a look at CouchPotato pretty please? its like sickRage but for movies ) thank you for your work )) -
Quicktime Export For Web files inaccessible
I accidentally posted this in the QT for Windows section, but I'm a Mac guy.
This is totally bizarre. As of this afternoon, all of the QT files (generated with Export for Web from QT7.6) that I've posted over recent days and weeks, on multiple servers, played back by different computers at different locations, running QT 7.6.4 and 7.6.6, OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3, WILL NOT PLAY. How is this possible?
If I connect directly to the original .mov file (as opposed to the "alias" .mov file generated by Export for Web), then it will play. If I connect to the .m4v file, my browser wants to download it, and then play it.
What's going on here? Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem. Is this due to some sort of DRM update put in place on account of the iPad introduction? iTunes and QT have been updated on at least one of the computers I've tried this with, and it didn't make a difference.
Hello??? Is anybody out there?Here are several examples:

My Prefs' in Photoshop are sRGB since I work for web only. My CS3 color settings are synchronised in Bridge, Europe General Purpose.
When I want to safe an image for web , let's say I filled the whole thing with brown/red #990f27, the color that I see in the SFW-window turns out to be a complete diffrent one*. Ofcourse I can get the right color in the SFW window by chosing the option Use Document Color Profile (the little triangle up in the right corner). The problem sééms solved, but it isn't: the exported file is only the right color in Safari since that browser supports Color Profiles, as only one.
Onliest solution untill now is doing the work in Firweorks, Seems like as if ther are no color profiles there. Seems even like it is making nicer colors... but that's another subject.
sRGB is as far as I know the smallest color profile. Why are then still colors transmitted to others when I save for web??? And how can I avoid this in Photoshop instead of swithing to Fireworks?
*If I measure them with the Digital Color Program that comes standard with Apple, the one in the SFW window is #990F27 and the one in the Photoshop document is #8B382E. But in Photoshop the Color Picker says it is #990F27. Can anyone explain me this?>> tagged or untagged sRGB, it is the smallest color profile
Simply: sRGB is the target color space on the internet.
>> I believe I finally get it...this is due to Mac and not to Dell...there is no key to solve this by calibration?
Yes, that is the conclusion I came to.
>> So what difference makes the tagging?
Tagging means everything in color-managed applications BECAUSE the color management system reads the embedded profile AND converts it to the Target proofing profile: http://www.gballard.net/psd/cmstheory.html
Again, the problem is Windows Assigns sRGB to untagged color, and Mac Assigns Monitor RGB to untagged color (at least that's how Safari was performing the last time I looked).
For unmanaged applications, we CONVERT to the target color space ICC profile and Save a copy -- that is the best we can do.
Again, Windows Vista Business (Safari color-managed app) here sees ZERO change in the sRGB rollovers on BOTH standard- and wide-gamut LCD screens.
This tells us Windows browsers Assume-Apply-Assign sRGB to untagged color.
Further, I am pretty sure Safari Windows browser is mapping (converting) the sRGB to the monitor profile and displaying sRGB faithfully through Monitor RGB regardless if it is tagged or untagged.
These hi-gamut monitors seem to work fine with sRGB and the internet.
Not to burst your brain, but viewing your untagged hi-gamut Monitor RGB in Windows Safari will be off BECAUSE Windows is Assigning-Assuming-Applying sRGB to it (I think).
You could prove this easily by saving tagged and untagged JPEG versions of Monitor RGB and dragging them into an open Window Safari window and seeing for yourself.
This is not at all as complicated as it reads --- once you understand how ICC profiles work and don't work --- --- that is where I would send you back to review, not trying to figure it until you get the profile issues wired in because then it will only take a minute to identify the problem (and the rocket science is left to the experts). -

Gif and JPG save for web file sizes in CS2 and CS3
Gif 64 dittered default CS2=2.63KB CS3=4.83KB
JPG CS2Low=1.42KB CS3=4.03KB
JPG CS2Medium=1.90KB CS3=4.51KB
JPG CS2High=3.38KB CS3=5.99KB
Why? Is there any solution besides keep using CS2 for web?
Thank's in advance.
regards
Fernando BergamaschiEach of the three JPG files increases by the same amount -- 2.61 Kbytes. That sure sounds like some common header block is being added in CS3. Did you check the "Optimize menu" button next to "Preset" just to make double-sure "Include XMP" isn't enabled? Or some other setting like that? Or check both images in Bridge to see if something is being added.

Corrupt (weird?) images after using Safe for web?
Since upgrading to CS4 i noticed that a number of images saved with 'save for web' do not display in a browser? It happens for jpegs as well as gifs, and when i upload them to a server they won't display - not even if i use the direct link to the image. Instead, i see the file-name displayed in firefox. I also noticed that saving the same image with the same save-for-web-setting 2 times gives me a massivee discrepancy in filesize - like 60k for the one, and 1.8mb for the other?
Yesterday i uploaded a 'save-for-web'-image to Twitter, and Twitter told me that "...the image can't be used. Is it animated?" - the weirdest thing about this was that it was a jpeg - ever heard of animated jpegs?!
Anybody else noticed something like this? I've been working with both Photoshop as well as webdesign for more than 10 years, so i can assure you i know what i'm doing. I just don't know what to do about this issue?
Thanks for your help!

Save for Web file size not updaing
I am trying to save out a graphic for the web and I'm noticing that the little number indicating file size is not updating..did something change?
OS X, CS6 Mac Pro, 16GM RAM Yosemite, 10.10.2
Thank you!It should work. Maybe it needs a reset.
Open Save for Web, press the Option key on your Mac, the Cancel button changes to Reset. Click on it and it should clear it to defaults.
Alternate: Reset Photoshop preferences: Hold down cmd-opt-shift, start Photoshop and click on Yes when the "delete Photoshop settings file" dialog comes up. -
Problem Exporting for Web files created in FCE using Quicktime
I have been using FCE 4.01 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec. This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file. GRRRR!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
SteveWhy not bring the exported AIC file back into MPEG Streamclip instead of QTX? You'll have a lot more control.
Compress the file to H.264 and restrict the data rate according to the resolution you're working with and to something consistent with the guidelines of the Web Service (say, You Tube) you're uploading to, (For example, something like 6 Mb per second would be about right for a 720P file.)
Or use Quicktime Conversion from FCE.
Good luck.

Saved InDesign files have blank thumbnails
Ever since I updated to InDesign CC 14, and uninstalled CS6 and CC, the thumbnails of all my saved files are now blank. Also when I click on file in Folder to open it, a dialogue box with the following message pops up:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing the action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?Sounds like you are running under Windows.
InDesign has had a bug for over 10 years (if not longer) wherein if you install a new version and then delete any previous version, you lose file associations. A fix is supposed in the works.
To repair your file associations you must total uninstall InDesign 10 (CC 2014) and then reinstall it.
Yes, this is a royal pain in the tuchas!

Export for web files play on one server, but not on another.
I exported my movie from QT Pro 7.6.6 and it created all the files I need. I have the movie "sniffer"(movie that determines which version to pull up depending on device) and then the sub movies. When I go straight to the sniffer in Safari with the files on my client's server, the movie plays fine. When I do the same from my iPad or iPhone, it won't play from that server.
If I move the exact same files to another server and go to the sniffer, the movie plays on all devices. Could there be some sort of server setting preventing them from being played on my client's server?
If so, what specifically needs to change on the server?

.mov Files have Black Thumbnail in iPhoto '08 and MobileMe Galleries

Script to "Optimize to file size" (automatically) in "Save for Web"?
Hello, all,
I'm a novice when it comes to scripts in Photoshop, but I'm really coming to the conclusion that this is the only way to automate the actions I need to do, whithout having to do it one-by-one.
Is it possible to write a Script to automatically choose the option (and settings) to "Optimize to file size" in the "Save for Web" dialog?
Is it also possible to save the file in the document's original folder, instead of a single specific folder, using "Save for Web"?
I have a really big number of different files (some .JPEG, some .PNG, some .TIFF) and I need to generate a single "reference.jpg" in each one of those original folders. It's quite easy to use whatever method to separate all those files in some lists and later open them in Photoshop in small subgroups of files.
I only have a restriction of size (60Kb) for those "reference.jpg" files, and I would like to save all of them, in each document original folder, with the best possible quality within that size constraint.
Here's my problem:
I can easily do that with a very simple action, but, that specific way, I have no control whatsoever over the resulting filesize of those "reference.jpg" files generated. Moreover, I also find the "save for web" command create a more "slim" file, allowing for better quality within my size constraint.c.pfaffenbichler wrote:
"I can’t make that out in the ScriptingListener code, but maybe someone else knows better or has a Script for the task already.
I seem to remember a thread where it was discussed to save a copy, check its size and overwrite it with different settings if it was too big … that should be possible, but may run longer."
Many, many thanks for your reply, c.pfaffenbichler! I spend the whole day (and night) yesterday learning (or rather trying to learn) about javascript, OOP, and how it should be applied in Photoshop's Scripts.
I was able to modify some snippets of code I found on the web to suit my needs (temporarily):
//SaveforWebSP.jsx
//Save a fixed width image with a size constraint in its original folder
var docRef = activeDocument;
var outputFolder = docRef.path;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/reference.jpg" );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
// quality/size constraints
var w = 300; // new file width
var MaxSz = 61440; // max. 60Kb
var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100
var x = 1; // decreasing step
// resize the image to the right width
docRef.resizeImage(UnitValue(w,"px"),null,100,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
// Perform the first SaveForWeb Operation
ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt);
// Keep trying to save the file with max. Qlt, but under MaxSz
while (NewfileRef.length > MaxSz)
Qlt = Qlt - x;
NewfileRef = new File( NewfileRef );
NewfileRef.remove();
ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt); // Perform a new SaveForWeb Operation, with slightly lower Qlt
if (Qlt <= 50) {
alert("The file can't be saved with the desired size AND quality.");
break // break the loop whenever the quality is as low as 50 (this shouldn't need to happen)
var FileSz = NewfileRef.length/1024;
FileSz = Math.round(FileSz);
// close the original file without saving
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// SaveForWeb Export, with the desired constraints and parameters
function ExpWeb(FileNm, Qlt)
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.quality = Qlt; // Start with highest quality (biggest file).
options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG; // Save Format for the file
docRef.exportDocument(File(FileNm), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
This works, but it takes a long time and keep the HD disk "going crazy" during the time it is processing the images.
This is too bad, because the "Optimize to file size" dialog in the "Save for Web" would have been so much faster, efficient and much less "disk-intensive"...
