Save for web, Mac to PC

Is this a CS3 problem? When I save a jpeg and send it via mail to a PC, the file can't be opened in the standard viewer (this is at my work). So I need to got through "save for web" and then the file can be viewed. But if I want to send a big picture, like 10 mb, that file is to big to be saved that way. Hmmm. I don't remember I had this problem in CS2. Why don't CS3 make global jpeg files?

That is a good thing to remember, but in this case I sent a RGB. I got an answer from my company's computing department support:
"Seen this before. And those are always coming from macintosh Adobe photoshop CS3/4 users that save them in some proprietary JFIF format that is not supported by anything besides full photoshop CS3/4.
You can see this if you open the files with ultraedit etc, that lets you see the headers. In this case you can see the following:
AB webb.jpg
JPEG8BIM
JFIF
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh
2009:11:24 09:29:42
Additional info of JFIF from wiki:
JFIF is compatible with Adobe Photoshop's JPEG "Information Resource Block" extensions, and IPTC Information Interchange Model metadata, since JFIF does not preclude other application segments, and the Photoshop extensions are not required to be the first in the file. However, Photoshop generally saves CMYK buffers as four-component "Adobe JPEGs" that are not conformant with JFIF. Since these files are not in a YCbCr color space, they are typically not decodable by Web browsers and other Internet software."
Can this be true? Is jpg-files from CS3 just ment to be opened in CS3?

  • Copy & paste into save for web color palette doesn't function on macs

    This didn't work in CS2 either on the mac side. Yet, you can copy a color hex code in the normal program, save for web and paste that color into the color picker for matte on a gif just fine on a PC. Get on a mac and you better get a pen out. Why?! Why can't I paste into the save for web/devices color picker?! Seriously? $600 and I can't copy and paste because I use a mac while at work on the PC I can do it without issue.

    Is this something that will be given to mac users in a future update?

  • 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.

  • Save for Web does not open dialog box in PS Elements 8 for Mac

    After opening an image and selecting Save for Web, the Save for Web dialog box fails to appear. I've seen similar reports for PS Elements 6 for Mac, but did not find the same files in those directories. Running iMac with OS 10.6.

    There are many things that only work in an admin account, but if you're willing to take the trouble, you can change the permissions to allow them to work in a standard account. See:

    Note that it's pretty important to run Save for Web one time in the admin account after changing the permissions or it still won't work in the standard account.

  • "Save for Web" PSE 6 - Mac

    I'm using PSE 6 on a Mac running the latest Mac OS (Leopard, 10.5).
    PSE 6 is set as my default editor for iPhoto. The other night, I was editing photos and selecting "Save for Web." No dialog box came up. I could save changes to the photos, and those changes would go back to iPhoto, but no Web versions were saved.
    Thinking the problem might be with bringing the photos from iPhoto, I pulled them out into a separate file in my pictures folder. Still, when I click "Save for Web," no dialog box, no saving for Web.
    In my understanding, "Save for Web" should reduce the size of the photo, reduce it to 72 dpi, and do (or give me the option to do quickly) all the other things needed to post photos to the Web, n'est pas? So what gives here? Any ideas?

    Please verify if the logged in user is able to create folders at location Go->Applications\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Presets. Verify if folder named "Optimized Colors" is there or gets created when you use Save for web. If not then create this folder at the location mentioned and try.

  • Can't 'save for web' in photoshop cc on new mac (yosemite)

    I have just upgrade to a new Mac running Yosemite and I can now longer save for web in Photoshop CC
    I get an error "no file or directory can be found"
    I have notice that in one of my Actions the directories are different on each computer:
    on my new computer the directory is shown as:
    "in: /Users/myusername/Desktop/"
    on my OLD computer (that works)  the directory is show as:
    "in: Macintosh HD:Users:myusername:Desktop:"
    I'm wondering if this is related to my issue when saving
    I have spent a lot of time searching and trying different solutions... none have worked

    Exit Photoshop CC.
    Try deleting the SFW Prefs.  It's in this directory:
    /Users/ ~username~ /Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web CC/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CC Prefs

  • Colour issue with 'Save for Web' - Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac)

    Cross posted here, but no answer so far. Sorry for cross posting. For me, this is urgent, but I know it's not for anyone else, so apologies for putting 'urgent'.
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/150670-colour-i ssue-save-web-photoshop-elements-6-a.html#post840419
    This is a similar issue to this:
    Save for web color issue
    Except the user who posted the above was using photoshop cs3, and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
    When I work on a photo, I get it just right, then go to Save for Web, and the original it previews is loads lighter than the orginal I was working on in the first place. See 'Picture 1' attachment.
    I have changed the colour settings on the Save for Web options - I've chosen each one in turn, and none fix the problem.
    There seems to be no similar option in PSE6 to this that fixed it in CS3:
    IN the save for web box there is a small round button with an arrow in it (near the Done button).
    In the list when this button is pressed deselect Convert to sRGB
    I used to use PSE2 on a PC, and never had this problem. I didn't need to mess about with colour profiles or anything similar on the PC. The original was the original, not a washed out version of the original. Why spend ages getting the file just right, only for Save for Web to screw it up?
    Any advice to fix this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks very much for your reply.
    I've uploaded the images here:
    http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 1.jpg

    I deleted the prefs. file you suggested, and then opened PSE6.
    I then tried the profile setting you suggested - but it's not an option:

    I tried 'remove profile' just in case that worked, but the same effect happens on Save for Web.
    Not sure what to try next!

  • PSE6 Mac OS - Save For Web won't save JPEG high res setting in Preset

    Why is it that, contrary to documentation, Save For Web won't remember that I always select JPEG High for every photo file I save? Each time, it comes up as "Custom" Low quality, and can't even remember that I want JPEG format. My reliable old copy of PSE 2 that I've used happily for six years was capable of remembering what I wanted out of Save For Web. There are always surprises with new Adobe versions, I just wish there were some good ones once in a while...

    I tried on my mac machine with PSE 6 and saved one file as PNG-24 and some settings. I saved the file.
    next time when i opened any other image and tried using save for web, the previous settings were remembered.
    So, i m not sure if the issue you facing is common to all.

  • Save for web not working on mac

    Hi Everyone,
    I am giving photoshop elements 8 a trial but can't get the save for web to work.  When I click File -> Save for web it does nothing?
    Does anyone have any suggestions why this would be the case?
    I downloaded the trial today for Mac and have installed it twice with no joy.
    Cheers
    Luke

    To do this, press and hold in the cmd + opt key and go through the menu and click File<Save For Web. A dialog will come up saying something like "Are you sure you want to erase all of the preferences for Save For Web". Click "Yes" to the dialog that comes up.
    I just tried this. No dialog box appeared.
    I am loading the software onto my MacBook Pro now, which is running 10.6. Hopefully I can use it on that machine, though I do a majority of my work on this one.
    eta: The Save for Web dialog is appearing on my MacBook Pro.
    Of course, now I can't get the Loop checkbox to toggle, or the Frame Delay to change for the animated GIF I am trying to create. *sigh* Now I shall start searching the forum for a solution to that problem.
    OK, I just found this:
    Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).
    Seriously? This is the MAIN REASON I bought PSE. To do animated GIFs. I can't believe that Adobe isn't bothering to fix this problem.

  • "Save for Web and Devices" does not highlight in my Mac CS5

    I cannot even get the 'Save for Web and Devices' to work at all. It does  not come up as a highlighted choice on my Mac CS5 for any image file  format. I've tried in 64 and 32 bit. I wish I had stuck with CS4 until  CS5 worked. Anyone got any tips?

    1) You can run multiple releases on the same system. This is especially useful if you have an established workflow and you need to ease into an upgrade,
    2) You can download a trial of CS5 before blowing £200 to see if it does all that you need.

  • Very Slow Save for Web in CS3 Mac

    I have Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1 running on a 2.16GHz Intel MacBook running 10.4.11 with 2Gb of installed RAM and around 30% free hard disk space.
    Regardless of file size or dimension, Save For Web is painfully slow to load and to save out. Optimized previews update quick enough when settings are changed, but everything else about Save For Web feels like wading in treacle.
    Anyone else got this problem? It would be good just to know that I'm not the only one with this issue!
    Any ideas for fixes?

    >My hatred of laptops has NOTHING to do with Photoshop
    And my commentary had nothing to do with your hatred. The OP is all about Photoshop usage on laptops, and I am quite experienced using PS on laptops. When I said
    >Note that older laptops like Ramón mentioned would not run PS...
    I was just discussing the OP.
    For the record I am not a proponent of using laptops or even the stronger iMacs as desktop tower replacements for heavy graphics users. I have consistently recommended in favor of towers and long life cycles and I will continue to do so.
    However for the last six months or so I have frequently been using a C2D Macbook Pro as a desktop replacement and I can report unequivocally that it works, especially power-wise, which is what the OP was about. Also based on that experience and also unequivocally I consider using MBPs or the similarly limited iMacs for production graphics work inadvisable.
    Strong laptops are incredible machines. They open mobile computing usages that can be of great benefit to many folks, enough benefits that I for one will always have a laptop as one of my computers. The ability to literally do any computing task (except volume graphics production) anywhere is pretty spectacular.
    Photo capture, edits and presentation in the field is of huge benefit. Even with something as mundane as this forum communication the ability to do it sitting in the living room instead of sequestered in an office is IMO a good thing.

  • "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 settings not holding (Mac)

    I am trying out PE 9. When I use Save for the Web the settings are always at JPEG/Low. I use JPEG/High, but I cannot get PE to save the settings for other files. I tried deleting all Adobe preferences files, including the one for Save for Web, but it had no effect. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Garry. I tried both methods without success. It works only for the same file, but not new files. I had looked for solutions to this issue in this forum and tried them all. If this is indeed a bug, it's appeared in earlier versions of PE. What I want to do is be able to set the Save for the Web settings for each new file I open in PE, just like I can do under Preferences for other elements. Any other suggestions?
