Save as for Web gives inappropriate file type estimation

When I go to Save As For Web (and devices) I'm brought to the next screen that allows me to do a multitude of things. I can adjust the resolution of my image with many other settings but I can also, more specifically, change the file type and, upong changing the type, can see the estimated file size down on the bottom right.
The trouble is the estimated file size is stuck on the GIF format and doesn't repopulate when I change file types.Below is a screenshot of my difficulty.

I meant - you try if it works when OpenGL is disabled
As for fixing the problem, make sure you have the latest driver for your video card and if not, uninstall the old and install the latest driver.

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

JSX Save PNG for web, quality parameter not changing file size

Hi
I have a script that uses this snippet of code to save png files for web. But, no matter what number I change the quality, the resulting file size and image fidelity remains the same.
I was wondering if I can save pngs for web at smaller byte size with JSX and how to modify the output settings.
docName = sourceDoc.name;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/" + docName );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
options.transparency = true;
options.blur = 0.0 ;
options.includeProfile = false ;
options.interlaced = false ;
options.optimized = true ;
options.quality = 3 ;//THIS NUMBER DOES NOT CHANGE QUALITY IF CHANGED FROM 0.1 TO 100
options.PNG8 = false ;
sourceDoc.exportDocument(File( NamesaveRef), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
Thanks for your help.

PNG does not have a quality setting. The quality property is used when exporting jpeg. That is why changing that property has no effect with PNG files.
Photoshop now supports PNG compression but as far as I can tell you have to use Action Manager to save. I don't see a compression option when using saveForWeb.

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that. What's wrong with Save As?

Save image for web/devices - random streaks

I have no idea why, but sometimes when i save images for web It leaves random streaks across certain areas. It has nothing to do with transparency/gradients because i've used normal fills and it still does it. It's probably something stupid but i can't seem to figure it out.

Document DPI vs. Save for web vs. preview. Make sure to always work in 72 DPI and you'll have a lot less problems to get predictable results. Also use the align to pixel grid options to avoid semi-transparent gaps and edges, where applicable...

Curious: How does "Save for Web" reduce the file size?

I do know HOW TO USE "Save for web" -- no questions there. I'm wanting to understand better what's going on under the hood.
When I start with say, an 8x10 JPG at 300 dpi, I understand completely how bringing that down to 72 dpi yields a much smaller file. Simple math.
What I don't understand is how the "Save for Web" function can reduce that smaller file size so drastically at the same dimensions, still 72dpi, with negligible image loss (at least at the 80% quality). Maybe it's just my amateur eyes, but for everyday casual web pages, I can discern no significant difference between the two 72dpi images. (At lower quality settings, I do see differences.)
Can anyone explain a bit more of HOW Photoshop does this? Is it simply compression? For example, is it -roughly- analogous to converting an AIF sound file as an MP3?
Thanks,
cb

Thanks, that worked. I figure there was a setting in there somewhere and was even in the right tab, but didnt think to click on that.

Quicktime 10 "Save For Web", spaces in file names?

Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but:
When using Quicktime 10's "Save for Web" function, it exports movie source files that all have spaces in the filenames (i.e. "Movie - iPhone.m4v" etc)
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but most web servers DO NOT like having spaces in the filenames, and every time I try to upload them to one of our web servers, I'm getting an error message that says it doesn't like the file.
Simply removing the spaces from the filenames causes the Quicktime reference movie to stop working, as you might expect.
Am I missing something here? How would someone possibly get this to work?

Thanks for the reply - actually it was helpful, and was the final nail in the coffin for Yahoo Webhosting for us. We've been using it for years, and even though it ***** terribly (and I mean TERRIBLY, horribly, painfully), we've stuck with it just because it's been easier to use it than to not switch. But you're exactly right... I tried uploading files to Cachefly with spaces in the name, and bingo, works perfectly.
Thanks.

Make Save for Web overwrite original file

Hi,
Has anyone come across a way to make the "Save For Web" function overwrite the existing file rather than export a new one.
There are a few workarounds I've found but all involve manually finding the original file and saving over it – which is cumbersome in the system I'm using.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

Save for Web with Optimize File Size for Batch Process

I have a client who needs to be able to run a batch process on jpg images ranging in size from 600KB to 2.5MB optimizing their file size as close to 200KB as possible. The feature is included in Photoshop's save for web optimize dialog but it doesn't work for batch processes. If you record an action with the optimize to file size option set it processes all the images in the batch based on the quality settings required to resize the image you used during recording, meaning if the image you recorded was 1.5MB the quality setting might be 70 percent to hit the 200KB mark but that wouldn't be the correct quality setting for a 600KB file nor a 2.5MB file those would either be too small or too large.
I've done quite a bit of searching both online and in the photoshop scripting forums but I haven't been able to find anything that would point me in the right direction.
My client's paying for this work so if there's someone who knows how to script this who'd rather be paid than just do some pointing we can arrange for that quite easily.
Thanks in advance for your assistance and suggestions.
In case it's of importance we're using Photoshop CS4.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks on a shareware prog, Jpegsizer has the option to save to a filesize.
You can find it here.

There is a free trial version, but you can't save files.

Another save for web devices error - File already exists?

I've been using the same Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 for about a year now, and only now this problem occurs to me.
Whenever I try to preview gifs in any browser (tried a few), I get the error message "Could not complete this operation. A file by this name already exists."
Tried renaming the files, replacing them, creating new ones, tried to enter preview on old files that previously worked, but always get the same error message.
I did some research and tried deleting both the main Save for Web and Devices pref file, and the other so called "hidden one" in the plugins folder. I've tried reinstalling photoshop from scratch. Nothing works.
Please help me. I'm near desperate :/

Ah, sorry, now I see what you're doing.
I haven't had the issue myself, but I can guess that one or more of the temporary files it needs to create in order to show them in your browser must be failing in creation. Check the permissions on the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable - you should have Full Control of your TEMP area..
Specifically, it creates a "Save for Web" subfolder there. You might be able to delete that entirely in order to start afresh.
Just to test, I've opened Photoshop CS4, entered Save for Web & Devices, and pressed the Preview button myself and it worked okay here... Your TEMP area is likely different than mine.

Save images for Web?

hi
i would like to ask you,why when i save images for Internet
(for my web portfolio) from Photoshop thought Save for Web and
import them in Flash they appear with rough ends ,not straight and
clear as in the original version ,please? I m saving them in couple
of versions some with Hight quality or medium but its all the
same....
please help me
what could I do that it doest occur that thing,please
Thank you

Are you rotating them once you import them into flash? They
will render with jagged edges. If you need images at an angle, I
would rotate them first in Photoshop then import them into flash,
also make sure under publish settings, you set you image quality to
high, of course this will increase the overall file size of your
swfs but give you better image quality. Hope this helps...

Incorrect PDF scaling for web site jpeg files

So, I'm not sure if anyone else find this frustrating. When working on a new web design either in Illustrator or Photoshop, etc. and then exporting those to a jpg file, then taking those and combining them into a PDF file using acrobat, I'm seeing the PDF files being about 25% larger than their actual 72dpi web-standard size. So when I pass along the PDF to clients for review, I always have to add a disclaimer that they should set their PDF reader to about 75% to see the actual size of the web site files. 100% is far too big. Any idea why the correctly-sized image files, when imported into Acrobat are increased in size?
I've tried saving them as smaller files... I've tried the cropping feature... none of this seems to solve the problem. It's quite frustrating.
Best,
Russel

Hi,
In Muse, there is no button/widget which allows to upload contents to your site. I would suggest to use third party web form builder, like Jotform, Upload Field Allowed File Types and Embed the form code in Muse and that should work.

Version to save PDF (for web view/printing)

Hello,
I am going to be linking an employment application on my client's website as a PDF. I am not sure what version to save it as (version for Acrobat Reader) so that it's most compatible with those visitors coming to the site. Does anyone know what would be a safe bet as far as what version to save my PDF as?
Also, does anyone have any tips on how to best save it for downloading online but then printing it out?
Thanks!
Ashley

You should probably go back to at least AA7, though there are those still using vers 4. You need to be a bit careful if you have added anything fancy, it will be lost. Also, if the form is to be used a lot (500 times is the limit), you do not want to activate Reader Rights (it is a violation for more than 500 uses). Just have the form submitted by having it printed or by submitting the form data (FDF file). For an application, you would want the submission to be to a web site (secure site preferred) due to the confidential information that would be included. The form data can be imported to the form using the FORMS>Manage Form Data>Import. You can do some database work directly from Acrobat (I am not good at that and the appropriate subforum is for forms) or you can use the tools in the FDF Toolkit to write server side code for the submission and data manipulation (there are Perl and C code examples in the toolkit).
Good luck.

Why is my text pixelated in Illustrator when I want to save it for web?

I added a grunge effect to this font. It scales up and down and fine, but when I preview it in the "save for web" option, it gets pixelated. I tried making it an object, but I got the same result. Shouldn't Illustrator be able to scale these without a problem?
This first is a screen shot of the text. Illustrator is open and zoomed in at around 600%
This second example is when I tried to save for web and zoom in around 600% again.

arcbo,
As I (mis)understand it, what you see is simply the pixels of the raster image.
If you Save for Web at the exact size that it is being used for, the pixels will match the use and it will look nice.
Any raster image looks pixelated when scaled up beyond its actual size.

Best options to save PDF for web?

I'm trying to save a PDF with CS5, which if saved at high-quality for print comes out to about 144mb. It has 30 pages, high-quality pics at 300dpi. The problem comes in when I try to save for web, I save as Interactive, and if I lower it to 72dpi it becomes unreadable, so I try 150dpi and it comes out ok, but at 40mb.
Yet I constantly see other PDFs around the web, of catalogs which have over 140 pages and only 19mb, or 54pages, and only 7mb, and yet the quality looks really good.
How should I save, and what options can I use to make quality reasonable yet in low MBs?
