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....

Save for Web... and grayscale images

I noticed a strange behavior when I use "Save for Web and Devices" on scanned BW negatives...
I import the negatives via the scanner's twain driver in Photoshop as 16bit grayscale images. My grayscale working space is normally set to the default DotGain 20% profile. When I want to show these images on the web, I use "Save for Web and Devices..." and I have selected the convert to sRGB option. For some reason, the "embed color profile" option is disabled (grayed out) when the document is in grayscale mode.
When I view the the exported image (in a color managed application or browser) it looks too dark and shadow detail is lost. Examining the file info shows that the JPG file is in RGB color space and has the sRGB profile assigned.
When I convert the image to RGB mode before I do save for web... the exported image will look exactly like it looked in Photoshop. Also, the mode change doesn't cause a change in appearance. Also, after changing to RGB, the "embed color profile" option in save for web... becomes enabled.
I experimented with other working color spaces and noticed that an image exported from a grayscale image in "GrayGamma 2.2" working color space will display almost like an image that was exported from a grayscale image converted to RGB.
I would like to understand this behavior and whether it is correct. My assumption would be that a conversion to sRGB during the export should yield the same result like a manual conversion of the image in photoshop but for some reason the results are quite different.
How can I export my grayscale images to sRGB JPG without having to convert to RGB manually while preserving the tonality from the original image?
I have attached an image which I hope might illustrate the effect I'm describing. The crop on left hand side looks as expected and is the result of exporting from an image that was converted from grayscale to RGB mode (sRGB working space) before using save for web...
The image in the middle is the result from converting to GrayGamma 2.2 color space but leaving the image in grayscale mode before saving for web and devices. It is almost identical to the crop on the left. The crop on the right hand side is the result of using save for web and devices from the original image in grayscale mode with the default DotGain 20% profile.
Thanks

These are my settings. Are they the same in your SFW dialog?

Save for web not overwriting original files in cs6

It doesn't always happen but when I use save for web to save an image it goes through all the motions as normal but when I go to view the image, I find that it hasn't overwritten the original file. Has anyone else experienced this, it has happened to other people in the studio too so it might be something to do with our setup?

Are you on a mac? If you have a finder window open of the file you are trying to overwrite (or the file is open somewhere else), and it is selected in that window with the preview showing, Save For Web does not overwrite it as it's technically "In Use". Either close the window or deselect the item. This seems to happen to me more when the file is on a server but can also happen on the local disk. I am now in the habit of saving as filename_1 and then renaming them afterwards.
I would imagine you would get a similar story on a Windows machine but I have no way of testing this.

Illustrator CS2 "Save for Web" not functioning properly.

Illustrator CS2, OS X 10.4.11.
I am creating graphics for the Web with Illustrator CS2. When I go to Save for Web, the Save for Web window opens properly but the original graphics and type (even though the type is converted to outlines), become pixelated therefore my Web images are pixelated.
Attached is an example of a jpeg saved at maximum 100 quality.
I am not umderstanding why my originals become pixelated when doing Save for Web. It used to work until yesterday.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help?
Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Mom,
I figured there's nothing wrong with my native file as a co-worker did the same and Save for Web worked.So why is it that when I do Save for Web, the native file pixelates when previewing the "original"?
That's what I can't figure out. One minute it worked fine, the next... bang!
That, and gprobst also being save correctly, imply that there is something wrong with your preferences.
No time to wait for the server. Here is an extract of the most important part:
THE CURE:
Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the aiprefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding the settings was required.
From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the aiprefs file is not enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
1. Close Illustrator.
2. Make a Windows search including hidden files and folders and including subfolders for the folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version. There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to find the relevant one.
Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X],
From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator [X] Settings.
[X] is the version number; as standalone versions, CS (Creative Suite) is called 11, CS2 is called 12, and CS3 is called 13, but the version numbers with CS are used in the folder name.
3. Either:
a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
b) Move the whole folder to the Desktop.
With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier, especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue to 5 without delay.
5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is solved.

Color management in Save for Web not working

The Save for Web dialog box in the CS6 Beta is ignoring color profiles, so color is not managed. This has not been a problem in previous versions.

The saved output is just fine. I was referring to the images in the Save for Web dialogue
I just checked my settings. CS6 apparently changed my Preview setting from "Use Document Profile" to "Monitor Color." It also changed my Metadata setting. It should not do that!
Restoring the correct Preview setting solved the color management problem, but ONLY for the Preview image. The Original image is still not color managed.
I'm on a wide-gamut monitor, so sRGB images come out looking garish if there's no color profile embedded or it's ignored. That's what's happening here with the Original image in Save for Web. I imported an sRGB image with profile embedded, and it looks just fine in Photoshop while editing. Then I went to Save for Web, with the settings Embed Color Profile, Convert to sRGB, and Preview: Use Document Profile. The JPEG preview too looks just fine with these settings, but the Original looks garish, showing a lack of color management. The color in the two views is showing as completely different, though they both represent the same image with the same color profile embedded.
Going back to CS5, the same image is properly color managed in both Original and Preview. Both images show identical color, as they should.

Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers

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.

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:

14.2.1 update Save for Web not working

Opening up an image I made moments ago through Save for Web dialog (as a normal 'web' 72 dpi image) returns a 300dpi image every time. Not functioning. This happens every time since the update to 14.2.1. I thought it must be me somehow, but it is the software.
I am running 10.8.5 on a 6-core 3.33 GHz

Yes, I am serious.
When I want to save a JPEG that has a particular ppi value I use File - Save As.
So I ask again: What is your use for your images that you're using Save for Web and care about the ppi? Perhaps there's another way to get what you want rather than through Save For Web.
I'm not being critical - I promise. I just thought maybe I could suggest alternatives.
-Noel
P.S., The ppi normally doesn't matter when images are displayed on the web. HTML usually is used to size images by pixels or points.

Is CS5 Save for Web not 64-bit?

I got a memory warning when trying to do a Save for Web with a 5K image. I was going to reduce it there. Is Save for Web limited to 32-bit RAM addressing?

5k? in resolution? so 5000 pixels high or wide?
If yes, you got this warning in all earlier versions to, as the Save for Web is not intended for these sizes of images. If only 5k file size there is a problem.

I thought it was ME or some setting, and so I wasted an hour not getting web images. Save for Web LOOKS like it's working, but when I open those images up they are now at 300dpi. I need this to work. Has no one else encountered this?

Save for web not working for .PNG?

When I slice up a .psd file and then go file > save for web and select to save the images as .png it does not work for some reason. No matter what I select it only uses jpeg. I am using Photoshop CS2.
Any suggestions?

As Zeno said, file format selection is per slice, not a global override. Select al lslices, then pick the PNG options.

Animated Gif - Save for web not showing full frame range

Hey,
I'm trying to export an animated gif with 52 frames - I'm using the timeline in CS6, it's exported correctly in the past but when I try and save for web only a seemingly arbitrary number of rames appear in the animation. With no clear route to rectify this, I've tried to affect the outcome by simply moving things around on the timeline.
I've had a variety of frame ranges (and frames) numbering between 2 and 6 frames, far off my 52 target. It's a simple image and equally simple transition to keep filesize down but I'm completely bamboozled by this. It looks like a bug but any advice I could get would be much appreciated.

If it worked in the past with CS6 try resetting your CS6 Photoshop Preferences. If you still have the problem after that. Up load the PSD file to a server and post a link to it.

Slices in Save for Web not highlighting when selected in Photoshop CS5.5

Lately I've just noticed when I select slices in Save for Web the newly selected areas do not highlight in their normal yellow colour. They are however selected and save correctly if I do save them. If I toggle slice visibility off and back on again they selected slices become highlighted but it's kind of a pain. Have I done something to cause this or is this a known issue with one of the updates?
