Save-for-web feature identical in AI and PSD?

I work in both Illustrator and Photoshop for web design. In creating web safe graphics, is there a difference between the two apps when exporting web safe graphics?

Each 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.

"Save for Web" feature suddenly grayed out

I have a Mac Notebook. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed (I know it's outdated but it meets my simple needs). I use Photoshop Elements mostly to save photos for my blog. I use the "save for web" feature everytime. However, when I tried using it earlier this week it is all of a sudden not available- the words are in gray and cannot be accessed. As far as I know I haven't done anything different than normal on my computer (I am a stay-at-home mom and use it only for my personal stuff) for this to happen. I took it off and re-installed it but that didn't help. Can anyone help?

This forum is for the fill version of Photoshop, please check out the Elements Forum:

Does adobe touch have save for web feature

I have CS and use the save for web feature a LOT to optimize photos. Does touch for the ipad have this same feature?
Thanks, Lea

Sorry, it does not.

Using QuickTime Player's 'Save for Web' feature in iWeb

I'm using iWeb (3.0.3) to create a site. I've also used the QuickTime Player (10) feature "Save for Web" command to save optimized versions (for iPhone and desktop) of a clip I'm using in my site. I want to keep the nice features of the QT Save for Web, i.e., the poster frame and the nicer QT controller.
I've managed to get everything hooked up right (using an HTML snippet in iWeb and hand-editing the page's html file to add the lines to <head> that the Save for Web's instructions specify. Yay!
All good so far. When I view the page in Safari, the poster frame shows up perfectly. But when I click on it, Safari swaps in a new page (frameset?), which loses all the navigational stuff I have on the "real" page. The Save for Web's instruction html page doesn't do this -- why is it happening in the iWeb page? I've tried stripping stuff out of the iWeb-generated page, but no luck.
Please help ... I've spent HOURS trying to figure this out, and I'm at my wit's end!!
(Additionally, if someone can tell me where I can put the 4 files that the Save for Web command creates so that iWeb doesn't wipe them everytime I publish, I would be a very happy man!!

This demo page has instructions on how to use that feature: #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player.

Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web. I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

Save for web and copyright

Dear Adobe,
This is a very serious plea to add copyright info when using the "save for web" feature. Save for Web is one of Photoshops most valuable features but without the ability to at least save copyright info many of us can not use this. Is there a reason I am missing? After what has transpired in the last 24 hours with the Orphaned Works bill, this has become 100 times more important.
Thanks
Troy
PS Photographers, please add your feelings below and write adobe if you agree.

>Any user can "claim" that they had no way to find the creator of the image since their is no metadata attached to the image.
There may also be a fundamental misunderstanding of protecting images on a web page here. There are very, very, very few people that will be looking at meta data in an image for copyright. And few applications will even reveal that meta data to the user.
You can't stop someone from taking your image from your site and you can't track what they do with it. The best way that anyone can try to protect their copyright is to stamp a visible mark somewhere on the image that not only announces copyright but points the viewer to your site (ex: © 2008 Joe Photography - joephoto.com). So if someone steals your image and posts it elsewhere, other viewers will know where to find the source. The image thief may be your best marketer.

How to save for web AND overwrite original files with Action?

Hello,
I want to compress a batch of images with "save for web" using a Photoshop Action, and I also want to preserve my folder structure and overwrite source files. The structure is important because it's complex and needs to be structured this way.
The Problem:
When I choose "save for web", I must define a destination. What happens is all optimized files from within the structure are saved in a single location.
Here's an example of the folder structure
Folder A
     - Subfolder A1
     - Subfolder A2
Folder B
     - Subfolder B1
     - Subfolder B2
          -Subfolder B2.2
Folder C
     -Subfolder C1
Summary
Is it possible for me to use a Photoshop Action with "save for web", and overwrite my files without moving them from the structure?

No need to re-invent the wheel.
Just learn how to use the Image Processor, Image Processor Pro, or Dr. Brown's Services 1-2-3 in Photoshop and/or Bridge.

Loss of saturation in Save for Web

Hi,
Objects that I export as PNG24 files using Illustrator's "Save for Web" feature result in files that a considerably less saturated than they appear in the Illustrator file (I'm working in RGB).
What's up? Is there a quick/easy way to make sure the raster files look just as saturated at the Illustrator objects?
Thanks!

calibrate and profile your monitor to the Web standard 2.2 gamma, not the Apple default of 1.8.
create your Web artwork in the sRGB color space (not Adobe RGB)
Save for Web.
You may still see some color shift when you save the image with no profile, but the above steps should minimize it.

Save for web 72ppi

running CS5 on a 64bit win 7 PC....
When I use the 'save for web' option and enable the 'include all the metadata info'
the saved image (jpeg) is not at 72ppi, which is clearly best for the web as that is apparently the idea resolution for our screens.
instead it saves it at 300ppi
(please no debate on 72ppi v's XXX ppi , there are enough posts on that as it is).
but if you disable the 'include metadata option' then the image saves as a 72ppi jpg as i require.
Does anyone have an answer to this.
there is no reason why an image cannot be saved at 72ppi and have metadata.
one assumes that the whole 'save for web' feature is about optimizing the image for that very reason.
this sounds like a bug to me ?

Sorry to disagree with some of the above...
there clearly are some useful facts listed.
but you have to ask with ref to the above, why did adobe bother with the 'save to web' option
if most of you seem to imply it really doesn't make any difference on your uploads.
well it does, i have a few photosharing websites
and some display the images very well others do not, they can look quite blurred.
i've been putting this down to resolution. (i've tried using the photo sites options of not adjusting file size
as clearly im aware their own scaling systems could alter the photo's appearance.
so what have i found.
well reducing the image to 72ppi and say 1000 pixels wide looks good online
as apposed to uploading the original which not only is a larger files size it also has different parameters.
you need a different approach to sharpening for online images than for print images.
hence back to the original, adobe implented this feature for a reason, we can all goto edit, image size in PS,easy
but adobe added this feature where you can choose 'bi-cubic sharpening etc etc.....
and this is why i want my metadata kept in place and 72ppi or 96 as stated above. which is why i still believe it to be a bug.
also this also acts as image license protector as i doubt 72ppi (1000 pixels wide) images would be much use in print for picture thiefs.
(72ppi is just a starting base point as i understand this goes back to CRT monitors, other displays can go higher though i doubt 300ppi)

Photoshop CS3 color management "Save for Web" problem

This problem is getting the best of me.......
After spending 3 full days researching this problem, I am no closer to finding an answer than when I started. I still cannot produce a usable image through the "Save for Web" feature of Photoshop CS3. I have read web page after web page of "Tips, Tricks and Recommendations" from dozens of experts, some from this forum, and still I have no solution... I am exhausted and frustrated to say the least. Here's the simple facts that I know at this point.
I have a web design project that was started in PS CS1. All artwork was created in photoshop and exported to JPG format by using "Save for Web". Every image displays correctly in these browsers (Safari, Camino, FireFox and even Internet Explorer on a PC).
I have recently upgraded to PS CS3 and now cannot get any newly JPG'd image to display correctly. My original settings in CS1 were of no concern to me at the time, because it always just worked, and so I do not know what they were. I have opened a few of my previous images in CS3 and found that sRGB-2.1 displays them more or less accurately. I am using sRGB 2.1 working space. Upon openning these previous image files, I get the "Missing Profile" message and of course I select "Leave as is. Do Not color manage". CS3 assumes sRGB-2.1 working space, opens the file, and all is well.
The problem is when I go to "Save for Web", the saturation goes up, and the colors change. The opposite of what most people are reporting. Here's another important point... new artwork created in CS3 does exactly the same thing, so it's not because of the older CS1 files.
I have tried every combination of "uncompensated color", "Convert to sRGB", "ICC Profile", etc. while saving. I have Converted to sRGB before saving, and my monitor is calibrated correctly.
I have tried setting the "Save for Web" page on 2-up and the "original" on the left is already color shifted before I even hit the "Save" button. Of course, the "Optimized" image on the right looks perfect because I am cheating by selecting the "Use Document Color Profile" item. Why do they even have this feature if doesn't work, or misleads you?
Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? Why is this all so screwed up?
CS1 worked fine out of the box.
Final note: I do have an image file I could send along that demonstrates how it is possible to display an image exactly the same in all 4 of the browsers I mentioned with no color differences. It is untagged RGB and somehow it just works.
I am very frustrated with all of this and any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete

>> First of all... I'm using an Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well, no change that I can tell.
This has further confused the issue on several points, not the least of which version PS you are doing this with?
>> AdobeRGB> Convert to Profile > Working Space sRGB-2.1... all still looks well... but now, when I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... I see the insane oversaturated look that is driving me nuts.
That is your strongest clue...it sounds like you have a bad system or bad monitor profile. To rule out the monitor profile: Set sRGB as your monitor profile in System Prefs> Displays> Color.
>> Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well
That doesn't make sense, stripping an embedded AdobeRGB profile should desaturate the color in Softproof MonitorRGB, especially the reds -- you have something wacky going on there.
At this point I think you need to review the links and get a grip about how color management and profiles work...
BTW, forget about setting ColorSync in PS COlor Settings, use Adobe ACE.
MO,
I think SFW is fixed under CS3 :) By default it Converts to sRGB and strips the profile.

Write Permission Error Save for Web Adobe CC 2014

Upon downloading and installing the recently released CC '14 apps, I've run into a problem with Photoshop CC 2014.
When I click "save for web" in the file menu, it returns an error message of "The operation could not be completed. A write permissions error has occurred."
It seems like a standard permissions error, so I repaired disk permissions, removed plists and prefs from user library, eventually I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it, restarted the computer, all with no progress.
I found another forum for CS5.5 that had a similar issue - with it's resolution being a permissions change on the preferences folder itself. For kicks, I tried this - again no progress.
I need to use the save for web feature. It is not usable on my end. Let's figure this out.
System Specs
Late 2013 iMac 27''
3.5GHz Intel Core i7
32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
3.11 TB Fusion Drive
Adobe Photoshop CC (2014)
20140508.r.58 x64

I had the same problem. And, I could not migrate settings. I found another thread about the same problem that suggested reset preferences on Photoshop launch, but that didn't work. the post also suggested to reset permissions for the library preference folder. Mine was fine.
But to fix it I had to go to the main library Preferences folder and reset permissions for the Photoshop CC 2014 Paths file and Photoshop CC 2014 Settings folder.
I am disappointed that Adobe shipped an upgrade with such a fundamental flaw. I feel I should say something disparaging and derogatory about Adobe quality control, about how as a loyal customer, using Photoshop since version 2.5 and a CC subscriber I expect better. But, I'll leave those remarks to others.

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

Poor image quality save for web

It doesn't matter whether i'm exporting from Ai or Ps or whether it's CS6 or CC. I have changed the raster settings in Ai and i've also tried all optimization options with all different export file types (jpg, png, gif) at all different quality settings. It doesn't matter if I start with an ai, eps, pdf, png... the export result is always poor quality.
I have tried exporting at 300ppi and that does fix the quality issue and bloats the file size, but this way (the export route) is so time consuming since you have to resize your artwork each time as well as the artboard so that it doesn't cut off pixels. Save for web never used to have these quality issues and it also never used to cut off pixels around the edges. These workarounds prove very time consuming and produce file sizes that are not ideal.
When i first noticed this issue I was using Mavericks with CS6 and since am using Yosemite and Creative Cloud.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create any bitmap or vector graphic in Ai or Ps, It doesn't matter whether you convert text to outlines or not
2. Save for web
3. View image in any application or browser to see poor quality and pixel trimming. Others running the same version and system are not having this issue, but I have checked many forums and found many others that do have this same issue but can't seem to find a solution.
Results:stair stepping, degradation, pixel trimming, general poor image quality
Expected results: Previously the save for web feature allowed for a decent quality image

First try the Cleaner. here's the link for CC but there exists one for Cs6 as well Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Everything I have read says that you kind of have to compromise file-size for quality. Could you post a screenshot of your settings?
also, if it helps: Creative Suite * Optimizing images

I thought of that too so I tested on another machine with retina display and the file i saved on my machine looked bad on my machine and on the other comparable machine/display. So I sent them the original vector ai file and watched while they saved it the exact same way on their machine and the file looked fine on both of our machines/displays.
All of the settings they used appeared the same as what I used but with different results. I don't recall changing anything but does anyone know if there is some setting that could have been changed that is causing this issue?
