Save for web - animated gif problem PSE (Mac)

Trying to save an animated gif using Save for Web dialogue box...
works fine, except checkbox "Loop" and delay rate drop down box are highlighted (active) but can't be changed
anyone know reason /  fix?

No fix, alas. This has been a problem in the mac version since PSE 6. If your gif is small, you can duplicate layers so that they appear to stay onscreen longer, but the best advice is to not use PSE/mac for this, unfortunately.

  • Looping options in Save for Web - Animated GIF

    I find this one rather annoying, in the latest verison of Adobe Photoshop CS6 when creating an animated GIF via the Save for Web dialog box; there is a looping option section that allows your animation to loop forever, or once...
    In the previous version, it would remember which setting you selected for subsequent saves.  In this new version, it forgets it and always defaults to ONCE; where I want FOREVER... making me forget to check it sometimes, when I'm working fast; and create animations that stop after one loop...
    Anyone else experience this annoyance?
    -Joe

    Seems like people shouldn't have to re-request features that were already features in the last version. 
    Either Adobe took the "stickyness" of that setting out on purpose, in which case I'd expect nothing more will be done, or they left it out accidentally with the restructuring of the Timeline window, in which case it would be a bug, no?
    But Christoph is right in either case - you can help ensure it is seen by posting it on the http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/ site.

  • Save for web animated gifs (ipad vs desktop)

    I am exporting animated gifs out of photoshop and wondering why there is a discrepancy in the display speed of the animated gifs when viewing on an ipad compared to on the desktop.
    Specifically the ipad displays the gif quite a bit slower than in the desktop...
    so something that views on the desktop in normal speed is slower than desired on the ipad and something at the desired speed on the ipad is super fast on the desktop...

    was related to the loading times...gifs at every other results in a faster play speed...

  • Save for Web default folder in PSE 11

    On my Windows 7 system, in PSE 8 when I select Save for Web, it defaults to saving the image in a folder I chose that is separate from the one I used in Open.
    (Save and Save As default to the folder I opened the image from, and PSE 11 works the same way even though "Save As to Original Folder" is not checked in Edit | Preferences).
    But "Save for Web" also always defaults to the folder the image was opened from, even though I have started it in Admiinistrator mode and changed the destination.
    That worked to change the default file type from GIF to JPEG, but had no effect on the save-for-web default destination.
    Is there a way to set/change the save-for-web default folder in PSE 11?

    That makes sense, but it doesn't work for me in PSE11 (though PSE 8 is OK). I get the same result as yesterday, even after rebooting, which I hoped might clear any cached settings. With or without checking Save As to Original Folder, what happens is this:
    - Save to Web defaults to saving the image file in the source folder;
    - if I change the destination to my Web-images folder, that lasts until I close PSE 11, and not beyond;
    - when I start it up again, Save For Web defaults to the source folder (with or without Save As to Original Folder, and regardless of Run As Administrator.
    Looking at the folder   C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    I see that no files show a change in the last several days, so the setting must be elsewhere, in the registry or in C:\Users\... somewhere.  Hmmm..

  • Exporting animation using Save for Web and Devices problem

    The animation plays as it should when the "Play" button is pressed at the bottom of the "Save for Web and Devices" Menu , but when I Preview it the individual frames don't disappear once they've shown , so you can see them all at the end of the animation . This is also how they save as a .gif ( although using the "Save as html" option reverts to looking as it should , each frame appearing and disappearing in turn) How do I save as gif without this happening?Many thanks for any help

    Thanks!  It was under the object - slice.  You've saved my sanity

  • Save for Web filetype default in PSE 8 on Windows 7

    I just installed PSE 8 on a new Windows 7 system. On my earlier Windows XP system running PSE 6, the Save for Web filetype defaulted to JPEG Medium, which is what I wanted. On this installation, it defaults every time to GIF; I change it and save the file as a JPEG, and the next one defaults again to GIF. Closing PSE, rebooting Windows, nothing changes that. I would like to make the default JPEG Medium; is there a way?

    On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
    For windows, this seems to work:
    Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

  • CS5 Save for Web and Devices problem

    I recently installed CS5 and now I cannot save for Web and Devices.  A pop up error window appears saying "A write permissions error has occurred".  Any suggestions to make it possible to save for Web and Devices would be appreciated.
    Also, when I exit Photoshop CS5, yet another pop up window appears and reads, "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges.  Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders'.  Again, any suggestions as to what this message is about and how to make PS close as it did with CS4 would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    E

    Try this first:
    Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Macintosh HD > Repair Disk Permissions
    Also make sure your not saving to a removable hard drive that is NTFS. If you can drag files into the drive its the right type of drive to use and there shouldn't be a problem.
    Apart from that all i can say is to restart your Mac and make sure all the adobe updaters are up to date
    Hope that helps

  • "Save for Web" does not work with mac OS 10.6

    Everything else runs fine with PSE 6 and OS 10.6, but nothing (!) happens when choosing "Save for Web" (German Version).

    Here are the directions for PSE 6 in general:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/422596?tstart=30
    and for save for web:
    Finally, to make the Save For Web work, you must do the same thing as above (which is make a folder owner be a non-admin account, and fix the read/write so that in 10.4 the You can says Read & Write).  The folder to change with the "command i" get info is :
    /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/File Agent/6.0/en_US.
    Once this en_US file is owned by a non-admin account and the Read & Write is set, and the padlock is unlocked, the Save For Web works.

  • "save for web and devices" problem

    Hello
    I am running photoshop cs4 on windows vista
    When I click on file>save for web and devices, a message appears saying "the operation cold not be completed"
    This happens for small files and large files
    Can anyone tell me how to overcome this problem please?
    Thanks
    Reg

    Hi again, rego.
    I did a bit of searching and someone had a similar problem as you where simply deleting the pref file via key command didn't work. A user suggested to first zip the Save for Web preferences and then delete the preferences. I am not sure what zipping the file does but basically they are suggesting delete the preferences manually.
    So try zipping the save for web preferences file and then delete it. After this is done, restart Photoshop and see if it helps. To find where the Save for Web preferences are, refer to this page:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405012.html
    EDIT: I am not sure if I was clear about the process suggested in the other post. For clarification, the suggestion is to zip the Save for Web preferences file and then delete the zipped file of the Save for Web preferences.

  • Save For Web & Devices GIF Preset options

    In PS CS3, when saving for Web & Devices as a GIF, there's the default Preset of "[Unnamed]" with various drop down options such as GIF 128 Dithered, GIF 128 No Dither, 64, 32, GIF Restrictive, etc. I'm looking for the highest quality GIF. What should I use? Thank you.

    Thanks for the feedback. I am using the images on a website that are somewhat larger than thumbnail size so it's not real critical. I know that generally GIFs are preferable for logos and text and JPGs for photo like images. These are a mix of art images and text. I don't know much about PNG though I notice in the GIF Save for Web & Devices drop down there are also options for PNG-24 and PNG-8 128 Dithered.
    Bottom line, I'd like to know which is the best quality GIF save option of these and then I can decide between that and a JPG.

  • CS5 save for web color change problem

    Hi Forum
    I've just started using PS CS5 on a new iMac, and I'm having some problems with save for web colors.  If I save an image (for example a shape with a solid color) then add it to a site I'm making then test in Safari, then take a screenshot with Grab, then open again in Photoshop, test the screenshot color with the eyedropper, the color value is slightly different to the original Photoshop file.
    Previously in CS3, I had the color settings RGB workspace set to Monitor RGB display, and view > proof setup > Monitor RGB.  Then when saving for web I made sure convert to sRGB was unchecked.  This always worked and would give me the exact same colors in the browser as Photoshop.
    I have tried the same settings now is CS5, plus a few other variations (like using view >proof setup > internet standard RGB) but it is just not working.
    Does anyone know the correct setup to save for web in CS5 and get the same original colors?
    I'm saving them as jpegs.
    I hope someone can help with this.  Thanks in advance

    I'm really confused about this now.  My display profile in OSX settings is set to iMac.  I have some specific questions:
    - What should my color settings be in Photoshop?
    - What should the proof setup be set to?
    - What color profile should my documents be set to?
    - What are the correct options to select when I save to web?
    I just want to able to save a jpeg image for web, and get the exact same colors as my original Photoshop file.  Please help!

  • Batch processing "save for web" color shift problem

    In Illustrator CS3, when batch processing "save for web and devices," there is a dramatic color shift in resulting files.
    Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Thanks!
    Karen.

    Make sure the color mode of your documents is RGB (not CMYK) and that your workspace is sRGB.

  • Save for web & devices GIF color bug CS4

    When you save your graphic to GIF and want to make the background transparant. You can only select one color at the time. In the previous versions of Photoshop you could easley select multiple colors with the Pipet + SHIFT.
    This selected all the colors you "rolled-over". The manual of Photoshop CS4 tells you (Pipet+Shift) to select mulitple colors at once. This does not work.
    When you have gradient backgrounds you really need this feature.
    My shortcuts are just standard, and as far as I've checked it also happens on a PC.

    I am having this problem as well. The Shift key is a valuable tool. Please Adobe, tell me you didn't take this away!

  • PSE6: Adobe Save For Web PSE Error

    I upgraded from XP to Vista the other day and now when attempting to use the Save For Web feature, PSE crashes and gives me this error.
    Adobe Save For Web PSE Error
    Could not complete this operation. An unknown error has occurred.
    I uninstalled PSE completely and then reinstalled, but I still receive the same error. After it crashes, I have to open Task Manager just to end the process.

    Some people have reported a file-permissions problem with Save For Web.  Try running PSE as administrator (which on Vista is different than running in an administrator account).  Right-click the PSE icon on your desktop or in the Start menu and select Run As Administrator.
    Unfortunately, there is a long list of possible causes of your crashes, so if that doesn't work, try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Save For Web & Devices Won't Export Gif Format

    I had previously exported a web page created on PS as .jpg slices. Now when I try to export - Save For Web & Devices/Gif - it still saves as .jpg slices. TIA for any advice.

    Make sure to select all (command-a) in the SFW dialog to change the settings of linked slices.
