Save for Web isn't using the correct size of artboard

I've been using CS5 for about 5 days now and have just run into this problem.
My artboard is 800x600 px. I have 6 layers of an animation I need to export as pngs so I can manipulate them in Imageready (yes, I still use it.)
I Save for Web, export as CSS layers, original size is 800x600 px, new size is 800x600 px (I don't touch those settings), art optimized and clip to artboard is checked.
But when I Save and check my files, not only are they 550x90 (the size of the art on the artboard) but they're cut off on the right side. It's like Illustrator is saving them as actual size, registared to 0,0 (top right corner) of my artboard.
I need to save my layers using save for web so I can drag them into other animated files in Imageready. I need them at 800x600 px because that's the size of my final art and it's easy to center a lot of layers if they're all the same size.
I can post image files if my question doesn't make sense.

UPDATE:
I've been experimenting. My artboard is 800x600 px. I have 2 layers. My artwork is 900x700 on both layers.
I Save For Web with Clip to Artboard checked.
I save a jpeg and my file is 800x600.
I save a png and my file is 800x600.
I save as png and check Export As CSS Layers and my 2 layers are 900x700. This ONLY seems to happen with the Export as CSS Layers checked.
Also, I use File->Export->PNG and check Use Artboards and my file is 800x600.
I use File->Export->JPEG and check Use Artboards and my file is 800x600.
I use File->Export->BMP but I can't check Use Artboards, it's greyed out and uncheckable. Huh? I need to export my image as a BMP at 800x600.
I don't understand what I'm missing here.

Ps 3d and filters and save for web are not working the way they should

At work we just put cs6 on a w7 machine running 64 bit which has more than that required mem and or ram to run cs6 - unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates). Anyways. I see the 3d menus and the filter menu in PS but they aren't funtional. The filter menu drop down is there but Liquify is the only one that shows up the rest are gray. The option to choose 3d is also there but they are not functional (grayed out) - I took a look at some online tutorials on using the 3d effect in PS CS6 and Ive gone through it a few times and it still won't work for me. Also, in illustrator when I save for web - when I adjust the pixel dimensions and move the mouse over and click on the image that I am saving for web nothing happens and I'm completely boggled about how to get the image size to change in the save for web pane. Typically I am used to being able to input the the number into the pixel dimenion field and click on the image and the image resizes (on a mac you can either click on the image or hit return and the image will resize in front of your eyes!). I am unable to get this to work the way I am used to, this happens for me in both ill5 and ill6 on this piece of crap windows machine. Maybe I just need to reinstall? Maybe adobe has changed the way this works? Maybe a sledge hammer into this windows machine would solve all my problems!? IDK. someone help... help me... pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssseeeee

unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates).
This gets a "stupid comment of the day" medal. Seriously. These days Macs are just as convoluted and effed up as Windows was a few years ago - nice as long as everything works, but god forbid you have a problem. So by all means, update your graphics driver and be glad that you actually have that choice rather than having to wait half a year for Apple to fix it...

Save for web&.... the image exceeds the size for ....issue with AI on imac i7

Hi,
I just upgraded from using macbook Pro to Imac inte core i7 with 4GB. I use illustrator CS3 for high resolution documents i.e saving a Design for say maybe saving for iphone &ipod skin; a quality jpg that is 1300px(width) by 2000px(height.
General information
The issue is I keep getting the pop up with:
The image exceeds the size Save for Web was designed for. You may experience out of memory erros and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?
I click yes, but get another pop up with:
Could not complete this operation. The rastarized image exceeded the maximum bounds for save for web.
And last weekend after NOT being able to save anything I went and bought 16GB memory thinking that this ussue would be solved, but nada.
I have researched around here and google only to find about scratch disk: went to preferences then to plug-ins and scratch Disks -I seem NOT to get to the bottom of this at all.
And this morning I was trying to create a pattern Design and could not even get the design on the color swatches as I have done before with macbook pro with 4GB -IT'S NOT FUN, because I am NOT doing it right. Do you care to help me out?
Thanks a whole bunch in advance

Are you including a color profile? What metadata are you including with it?
How many pixels (h x v)?
50 kb is not all that big. Does your image have a lot of detail in it? Content can affect final compressed size.

PS CS5 Save for Web and Devices reports "The operation could not be completed" ?

I teach in a lab of 27 computers, 110 students and part of the curriculum is teaching students to "Save for Web and Devices" this year for some strange reason none of my students can access "Save for Web and Devices" they get the error message "The operation could not be completed-A write permissions error has occured."
It has stumped our district top network support guru.
We are running PS CS5 12.0.4
He tried this posted fix but it did not work
http://involution.com/2010/06/13/adobe-photoshop-cs5-write-perimissions-error-on-snow-leop ard/
It worked once last Friday but today it failed, I'm getting very nervous about being able to prepare my students for the ACA exam without this function.
In a discussion forum they suggested "zipping and deleting" the save for web preferences, I tried that. Shut down Photoshop reopened it and that did not work.
I am at a loss. Seems like a bug.
Any ideas.
We are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.5.8

The error message may not simply address the location to where the students will save a single file. The error likely applies to the temporary location where the various optimized versions might be automatically saved as you preview the image as JPG/PNG/GIF. I would wager that you would not see this error when you are logged into one of the students' computers as an admin.

Can i batch process/save for web various images to the same exact KB size? not just the quality perc

Hello,
I have a batch of 500 jpg images all in different sizes 732 KB, 634 KB, 664 KB etc... I need to compress / save for web down to 130 KB the entire batch.
I've managed to create an action which compresses them lower than 130 KB at different sizes depending on how light or dark the images are, but still not to an exact number. Is there a way to create such an action or script?
I'm working off of Photoshop CS5, iMac 10.5.8
thank you for time,

Thank you for your response eartho, I have a client which needs them at that size for their site.
I figure i'll compress them as close as possible to 130 KB, but when I automate the batch resize certain images don't fall under 130 KB which is forcing me to go through the entire batch and look for those, and thus compress them individually.

"save optimized as" window in save for web shows desktop but not correct folder

In "where", it shows desktop, with the icon of a folder, and not the name of the folder the picture is in, as is usual, if I cick on the pop down menu,{of the where field) at the bottom i am showing recent places in gray, and then the name of a folder which is on the desktop, but not the one the picture is in. I want to keep the picture in the same folder.
I have been saving for web no problem recently. i quit PS and shut the computer, nothing
PS cs3 10 0 1
in the save as window I have no problem

There's another "drop down" in the save window. To the right of the file name (Save As: field), if you click that arrow, it will allow you to browse to ANY folder or location on the HD to save.

Save for web - not at 100% original image size

Alright... So... I'm dropping some images into Star Office Writer, noticed they looked a little small. Created a 1" x 1" square, saved for web, dropped it into Writer and the picture info. states it as being at .77" square (23% smaller). Same when I open it in windows and measure generally with a little digital ruler.
Any ideas? Or do I have to continue with making things 23% larger in AI..

There is no bug here, I would say. SFW does not embed any DPI flags and your OOo is probably also interpreting it correctly, but based on assuming 72dpi for untagged images fits them wrongly. I don't see a problem there, as you can perfectly enforce 100% in Open Office by manually setting the image's properties....

Custom eventing for reporting --- am i using the correct ResourceEvent?

Hi All,
I am using a web content management tool which stores all the content created through the tool in /documents repository . This content is published in the portal under various roles . I am working on a report to generate and report the hit counts for the pages in this repository . I have written a Km service that subscribes to GET_TEMPLATE event to generate these statistics.
The problem i am facing is this . When i navigate through the KM folder structure to a given page in a subfolder and do a preview of the page content , the hitcount is incremented and the report reflects this increase . However if i navigate to the role where the content is published and view the content from the role , the page hit count is not incremented and the report does not show the increment .
My questions are
1) Do i need to write a custom KM event that notifies the repository broker about
the page access through the roles?
2) Is there any other standard event to which i can subscribe to get this page hit count.
Any helpful answers will be rewarded.
regards
Subra

Hi Subra,
> is there any way to know if the tool is raising any event
As I have been one of the developers, I can report that the tool definitely does not raise such an event explicitely. But as said above, it also shouldn't do this, as it shouldn't be needed. In addition, for the display the tool redirects to a KM navigation iView, which normally should lead to the expected event risen anyhow.
But if it really doesn't work, you still have the option to ask btexx to check if this is a shortcoming on SAP side - which in the interest of a smooth working product should be tracked, maybe worked around...
About the caching I can report that there is also no caching used at the moment for the display. This may change one day, for this in fact it would make sense to raise the event (even if the resource isn't called from the framework, but to enable such kind of statistics, if they won't be part of the product one day anyhow).
Hope it helps

One additional remark for all people involved: I just remember to have read about the same "missing" event on SDN, but I never checked this in the end. It might be that the navigation iView only throws the getChildren event, as for other resources than XML forms elements, it only renders the name of the resource, not it's (or part of it's) content (so the content doesn't get accessed). This also would make sense as normally the access to the Show form could be differentiated from the access to the RenderListItem form.

CS4 Save For Web not the right size

I'm having problems with Illustrator images when I use the Save For Web. The image size always comes out the same size as my artboard. In other words I set up a new document to be letter size, create my drawing within that document. My drawing is only about 300 px by 150 px. When I Save for Web my image is the same size as the document or artboard not my drawing. Is this something new in CS4? Do I have a preference set incorrectly? The only way I have found to get rid of the background is to adjust the size of the artboard manually. Is there a way to adjust the artboard to fit my drawing automatically, like cropping to an object in Photoshop?

CS,
Basically the same issue was up, and answered, recently here:

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon?

Can "Save for Web" generate a thumbnail instead of an icon? Or can the icon be replaced by a thumbnail? Thanks.

I don't think Save for Web embeds any icons or thumbnails, because the whole point of Save for Web is to keep the file size down as much as possible for Web use by not including anything except the image and some text metadata that you choose. If you're seeing a thumbnail or icon, it was probably generated by your operating system and may only be local to your desktop.
If you do want to embed a thumbnail or icon into a JPEG file, you might get one by choosing File > Save As instead. The Save As command is intended to give you the most complete file possible, where Save for Web is designed to give you the smallest file possible.

Photoshop CS5 Save for Web & Devices

In "Save for Web & Devices", the buttons are cut off at the bottom :\ is there a way to fix this? Here's a screenshot.
click to view full size. As you can see, they're pretty hard to click, though not impossible...

You probably need to use a higher screen resolution.
1024x768 or higher.
You could also try to resize the save for web dialog by using
the lower right corner to resize.

Removing Exif Data with out using "Save for Web"

I have very large files. I need to remove thw EXIF data. I do not want to use "save for web" because it impacts the quality and size (recompresses) of the files. I need the files to remain un changed except for the removal of the EXIF data.
I have a large number of files to do this to.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks Tai Lao for the shortcuts.
I have RAW files to start. I "process" them and convert to jpg. Then send them to the client. But there are times the client doesn't need to be able to view the EXIF data, soooo....
1. I'm working on seting up an action to convert the processed RAW files to TIFF first,
2. then, using the shortcuts you listed, set up an action to take the tiff files through the process to strip them of the EXIF data and,
3. then convert the resulting "EXIF-less" TIFF files to jpg - also using an action. I'm going to try to build one action to do the whole thing but so far I'm still experimenting... I have to keep the file names...
Anyway, I'll post my findings.
Thanks
To whomever left the info about Exiftool - Thanks for that info as well. I'll check it out but is seems a bit too complicated for large numbers of files.

Is it possible to preset to JPEG High when using 'Save for Web...'?

Hi,
I am using photoshop elements 10. When I am ready to save an image under 'SAVE FOR WEB..' can I preset it to 'JPEG HIGH' cos right now it will pop up 'GIF'.
When I am using PSE2, I am able to launch it as JPEG HIGH. Now, I have to click on the popdown menu to select 'JPEG High'.

You need to right-click on the PSE desktop icon and choose "Run as Administrator".
Then, open a file in PSE, use Save for Web and change all the settings to what you prefer. Hold down the Alt key and the "Done" button will change to a "Remember" button. Click it and then save your image. The settings will be saved and you do not have to run PSE as an administrator again.

Is the PNG generated by the "Save As" option the same as the png-24 from the "Save for Web" option?

It would speed up my workflow if I could go through the save for web option rather than the save as. Are these files the same?

No, SaveAs includes more metadata, while SaveForWeb makes the metadata optional.
