Save for web option greyed out?

hello.
i'm not too sure but after the last one/two updates from the cc, i have been unable to click on the save for web option as it is greyed out. i've read this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5242626#5242626). i am slightly blurry on the solution being said there. however, i have fixed around the permissions (as said in the solution) but again, i'm not very sure if i have done anything significantly right because i still can't save anything for web (nor can i open .gif).
this is a screetshot of my user/library/preferences --> get info as well as the adobe save for web prefs. i've added 'admin' into the list and i've made it read & write. user had been read & write all along.
i have no idea what's the issue still. i'm using a mac on mountain lion.

Thanks! That was it. I am a bit rusty with PS.

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.

Export Layers to Files w/ Save-for-Web Option

Back in CS2, ImageReady provided support for exporting layers to files, but in a save-for-web style compression. Since ImageReady has been discontinued, the only option available has been to use the current script in photoshop.
We've done several quality tests on exported images from both programs, and since all of our work is done for web, keeping file sizes to a minimum and utilizing the SFW compression is a must.
Can anyone instruct me how to add this functionality to the current export layers to files script?

That line should not be a problem, I wonder if you are trying to run the script from ExtendScript Toolkit?
If so you need to set the target as Photoshop (Top Left dropdownlist)
If not, that line is not really required and can be commented out.
An alternative to this script is my Layer Saver Script that might be of use...

Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014. You screen capture looks strange. Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ??? You selected to only use 128 colors instead of the possible 256 and to do no transparency dither . Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences. I showed in my screen capture I was using CC 2014 had 30 frames in my frame animation. Showed what my Save for web looked like. Your Save For Web Capture looks very strange to me. Look at your's here then look a my screen capture. Even when I use the preset you chose GIF 128 No dither and a large image my save for web look nothing like your..

I can't figure out why my "Save for Web" is grey.

My pic is 450px by 450px at 73 ppi in RGB. I have always been able to save as a png or gif for my website work on my other older version of protools. What could this be caused by???

One reason could be that your image mode is 32-bit. ??
If so, Image > Mode > 8-bits.

Photoshop CC Save for Web Greyed out

After the last Creative Cloud Photoshop update my Photoshop CC 64 bit save for web is greyed out and I can no longer save as a png. Using Windows 7
How can I correct this.
thanks,
Buddy

I have the same problem. Save for web grayed out no matter what. Also photoshop denies opening any png file, also the png format sometimes doesn't even appear in Save as.
I can import png by choosing Open As and selecting Camera Raw. But then I can't save as png again. QC slacking at Adobe or what? Never experienced these kinds of difficulties with earlier versions. Might just as well brush off my old CS4 masters collection.
Will try a reinstall although I frankly don't have the time to wait for the endless download.

Photoshop CS4 corrupt save for web plugin

Hi
I've been having problems with my save for web function freezing, so I deleted my preferrences , settings, accidently deleted my save for web plugin. The save for web then greyed out if I tired to save for web any type of document. I moved my save for web plugin from my trash back into the plugin folder. Photoshop save for web was still greyed out. I then restarted my computer and the save for web is still greyed out.
Any sugessions on what I can do to activate "save for web" again would be much appreciated.
I think it's the plugin that's corrupt, I can't find the photoshop cd to reinstall it.
Has anyone got the MAC CS4 Photoshop "save for web plugin" (Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web CS4/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS4 Prefs) that they could send me.
This is my CS4 Plugin (it was like this before I accidently deleted it), my collegue's cs4 plugin doesn't look anything like this and doesn't work for me either):
Thanks very much
Abi

Sorry I meant my collegue's cs5 plugin.
I've read quite a few posts on this subject and other people have got their friend to send them their plugin and they've inserted it onto their computer and it fixed the problem. But I don't know anyone who has photoshop cs4 on a mac.
This is my cs4 plugin
This is my collegues cs5 save for web plugin
Thanks

Preview options in the "save for web" dialog

According to the reference, the previews in the "save for web" dialog are there only for showing how the image can be seen on various platforms with different gamma values.
But, if we open a non-sRGB image (ProPhoto for example) by the "save for web" option, the preview options (other than the "use document profile) in the "save for web" dialog assign sRGB color space to the image even when the "convert to sRGB" option is unchecked ... this causes unrealistic, dull previews for the image.
What is the reason behind that PS assigns sRGB to the image previews if we uncheck "convert to sRGB" option?

Basically, how animation works with GIF and Save for Web in PSE is that each layer in your document is a frame of animation. So you see one layer, then the next, and so on. You should not see the contents of the last frame/layer when looking at the current/next frame of the animation.
Could you post a screen shot of your layers panel and give us a link to the GIF that is coming out of Save for Web?

Save for web... is full screen an option?

I have posted my video online using the Quicktime X File > Save for Web option.

Width*height vals changing in save for web ??

Hi all
I've opened an EPS file in illustrator cs4. And its width & height values are differing with width & height values in "save for web" option.
For example, normally in width & height boxes shows as
width : 247.499 pt
height : 116.524 pt
but in save for web
width : 249
height : 117
I've checked with various figures too.

Script lan : javascript
thanks for ur help!
Actually I've to resize the figure for the width 175, 525, 1400 and the height should change proportionally. So I tried, but I couldn't resize the figures using save for web. Becoz its horizontalScale & verticalScale treats values as percentage. eg. 175 treats as 175%. Then I grouped all items and changed its "width" and foud out the values' corresponding "height" values. But the problem is, exported file's values are changing nearly 3pts.
could u help on this?

Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.

Save for Web :: some elements are missing

Hello,
This is just to report a problem with "Save for Web" option. I have a logotype opened in illustrator, when "save for web" option and saving as PNG. Some of the elements in the illustrator file are missing. Here are a few screenshots to see what I'm talking about. Hope this helps to figure out what is going on.
Thanks
Piero
Illustrator File. Vector logotype
Wire frame to see that everything is vectors.
Saving for web as PNG. You'll notice the three bars on top are missing.
Saving for web as JPG. Same thing is happening. The three bars on top are missing even though is on the illustrator file.
Let me know if you need something from me to correct this prob.

Got it. Found it and yes, for some reason this was set to overprint.

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
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 2.png
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:
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 3.png
I tried 'remove profile' just in case that worked, but the same effect happens on Save for Web.
Not sure what to try next!
Thanks

Save for Web is disabled

I downloaded and installed the Picture Package for Photoshop CS4. Once installed the Save for Web option became grayed out and I can no longer access that function. I deleted the preferences to see if that would help; it did not. How can I resolve this conflict?

It's disabled for me today as well. I'm starting to think that it's related to the ACrobat 8.2 update, which caused problems opening CS and CS2 illustrator and Indesign, which is listed as an issue http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
That fix resolved my problem of opening Indesign and illustrator cs2, but today Photoshop Save for Web is broken. I'm hoping they are related, and a fix for the new issue is forthcoming, but I don't know for sure this is the cause.... or if it it's just coincidence.
Anyone else?

Save for web in photoshop

Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.
The cellspacing, margins are set to 0. Still i can seem to nudge the page up and left to get rid of the gap.Visually if i left the BG white and my page was black It seems like if there was a margin set around the page about 4px which gives me a white border around the whole page.
I tryied this several times with diffrent psds to test so maybe its a option when exporting on Photoshop or an option when opening it in DreamWeaver??
Thanks

Im saving a psd in photoshop using the save for web option but when i open it in dreamweaver theres a gap on all four sides of the page.
The cellspacing, margins are set to 0.
Have you set the body margins to 0: (the following style rule goes into the head of the documen tor into a stylesheet if you are using one.
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
If you already have a style on the body (maybe a background color or background image, then just add the margin and padding rules to the current body in your stylesheet of the head of the document.
Also: make sure there are no stray <p> paragraph tags sitting above the table or the containing div. These will of course a space above the table or the containing div.
If none of the advice given helps, then please follow John's advice and upload all the site working files to a server and provide a link :-)
As you can see, without actualling seeing the code, it can only be a guessing game by the people trying to help you.
