Save for web, retina display

when saving for web, the preview size, by default shows smaller than it should - assuming this is due to retina display compensation.
How do I adjust the preferences so it displays as actual pixels?

  • CS6 Save for Web image size limit (Retina)

    I have been designing for a lot of mobile sites these days, in particular: iphone retina display (640w).  Most of the time these designs can be long in the tooth with the height of these documents - exceeding 8000 pixels at times.  I noticed that 8000 pixels is the threshold limit for the "save for web" export.  Anything greater than 8000 pixels will be downgraded in quality on retina devices by scaling the image.  The jpg will still be the correct height and width, but when viewed on an iphone, you can easily see the degradation.   Images and text are blurry.  This is no bueno when trying to show a client what their site will look like on an iphone.
    So my question is, is there a work around?  A preference to be changed?  Am I missing something to get the full quality of my design comp in order to preserve retina display quality?

    Justin, what about your screenshot that I'm posting here:
    You posted that as an example of SFW downsizing to 78% to make its output be no taller than 8192 px, resulting in a width of 500 px. The iPhone will scale a 500 px wide image to make it fit the screen's 640 px width.
    And my CS6 SFW set to progressive JPEG (or anything else) refuses to allow a dimension to be greater than 8192 px. Here's the message when I try to make it larger:
    Likewise, the scale percentage cannot be made greater than the value which produces a dimension of 8192 px.
    Anyway, I'm glad you found a solution.

  • Filesize displaying in "save for web..." is inaccurate in Photoshop CS6

    Hi,
    I was trying to save an image below 60kb as a jpg in "save for web...".
    I manage to do so in the "optimized" window panel by reducing the quality image to 55 (the panel on the right side)
    Optimized was checked.
    On the left side, below the image I can see it was written JPEG/ 57.39 K
    When I saved into my MAC, my file was 60kb...unlike what it was said in the "save for web..." panel.
    Anyone can tell me how is possible to save exactly below 60kb? or the software has an actual problem showing the incorrect filesize.
    Thank you.

    It might be that it's an estimate of the image. You have metadata that may be saved with it.
    I uncheck "Embed Color Profile" and I set the Metadata to "none"
    See if that makes any difference.

  • Save for web 12.0.1 filetype option display error

    Hi
    When I 'save for web and devices' the information panel below the image panel remains stuck on 'GIF' whether I select GIF/jpeg/ping etc in the top right dropdown,
    The file will save in the correct format, and preview in the correct format (which is what I have to do to see how big it is going to be).
    Anybody else seeing this?
    Cheers.

    have you tried creating an OSX NEW USER ACCOUNT and testing
    have you ran a maintenance utility like OSX COCKTAIL
    have you ran OSX DISK UTILITY REPAIR PERMISSIONS
    have you ran OSX DISK UTILITY REPAIR DISK
    have you ran APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE
    have you ran ADOBE UPDATES...
    have you shutdown and rebooted the machine

    it may also be helpful if you could post a screen shot of the problem via INSERT IMAGE

  • Save for Web is not displaying white text, only showing the drop shadow of a vector.

    I just updated Illustrator this morning and now having this issue. I have two logos on the artboard. Both are filled with white, both have the same small drop shadow. The both show up on the artboard, but when I try to save for web or export into a .jpeg the white doesn't fill in on one logo, but it does on the other.
    Anyone have any ideas on a fix?

    Do the white objects appear when in Overprint mode?

  • CC: Selecting slices in "save for web"

    Hi,
    today, I tried to use the export function "save for web" in Illustrator CC 17.1.0 for the first time in many weeks.
    I created a document with some slices. Strangely, in the dialogue of "save for web", the image preview isn't shown in the original size although the setting is set to 100%. It seems, like the preview is only about 50% of the original image size.
    Furthermore, it is impossible to select the specific slices for renaming it. Also setting up the preview to 200% doesnt solve the problem.
    I already uninstalled illustrator with the uninstall file and downloaded the software from the cloud again. But the problem still exists. I also created a complete new document without success...
    I don't get the point. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
    I'm using Mac OS 10.9.1.
    Thanks!

    I'm seeing this on both my HiDPI laptop display and an external display where the pixel ratio is 1.
    I use Save for Web almost every day, so I suspect there was a bug introduced in the latest version of Illustrator. I've also found that when vector graphics are copied and pasted from Illustrator into Photoshop they come in at slightly smaller dimensions. Could be related?
    Using File -> Save Selected Slices... in Illustrator seems to work fine, however.
    I'm also on Mac OS 10.9.1, running Illustrator CC 17.1.0 on a Retina MacBook Pro, Mid 2012

  • Save for web very slow

    I have a new MBP Retina, clean install of the OS and Creative Cloud. Just setting up Photoshop, and Save For Web is extremely slow. It opens normally, but I get the spinning color cursor for 15-20 seconds and only after that does the image display in the preview window. Then for every checkbox I select, the color cursor comes back and all is delayed for another 15 seconds. The file is a square photo from an iPhone 5s, two layers, nothing else going on, 34mb.
    I do have Suitcase Fusion 6 installed. Based on their instructions, I removed all fonts from the HD/library/fonts, and have certain web faces activated through Suitcase. (Arial, Courier, Georgia, Times, Trebuchet, Verdana).
    On a new, empty file, all works as expected with no delays.
    I had this same set up on this same Mac before I wiped the hd, and never had this problem.
    Any thoughts...reset a preference or...?
    Thank you.

    I just noticed the above unresponsiveness happens with the 4.7mb exported PNG, so it's not related to the file size.

  • Save for Web error: Could not complete operation

    Hi everyone.
    I'm having trouble using the Save For Web function on Photoshop CS6. The initial dialog opens fine and I can select any file type to save to etc.
    Once I click 'Save...' I get the error "Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred."
    I have looked up this error and from previous threads I have tried deleting the Save for Web library files and restarting, however this doesn't work (Unless I am deleting the wrong file?).
    I'm running a 2.6 GHz Retina Macbook Pro with the latest update installed for Photoshop. I have 16 GB ram.
    Strangely, I have a PC running the same version of Photoshop CS6 and it works fine for this function.
    Any idea what this could be? I have posted my system info below.

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

  • Poor image quality with 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

    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?

  • Every time I save I get an "Adobe Save For Web Error"

    Hello everyone,
    Every time I save I get an "Adobe Save For Web Error" that says "Could not complete this operation.  An unknown error has occurred."
    I haven't the slightest idea what to do or what happened but I can't save anything and it's starting to really frustrate me. Below is the system info:

    LIke I said, I sure hope somebody can help me out.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.   The only thing I could think that might be causing this is the fact that I upgraded to Maverick (Apple OSX) about 2.5 weeks ago.  But this problem didn't start until about 3 days ago, so surely that's not the issue.  Anyway, figured it was worth mentioning.
    Please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Jamie Richards, a fellow Photoshop addict

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

  • Filenames getting truncated in Save for Web AppleScript

    Hey all, running CS4 on an Apple Macbook Pro (using OS X 10.5.6). I am creating an AppleScript that saves out a number of files with different filenames using save for web. The problem is that Photoshop CS4 is truncating the filename, and using a shorter filename is not an option (there is identifying info in the filename that I need to retain). Is there a way within the script I can set it to allow longer filenames? My current save for the web script line looks as follows:
    export current document in file filename as save for web with options {quality:60, web format:JPEG}
    What happens is that a filename like this:
    CANON-PRO8000MKII-ideal-ideal-24.jpg
    gets cut down to this:
    CANON-PRO8000MKII-ideal-ideal#0
    I believe that there there is a PShop bug here that has a hard-coded limit on the filename, but which does not happen if you enter  the file name manually: if I go into the save for web dialog and enter the full filename, it works fine.  Any ideas?

    I recall having this problem too, my solution was to truncate the file name in the script prior to the save, then rename the saved file.
    e.g.
    if length of theNewFileName > 31 then
    set theTempFileName to theNewFileName
    set theNewFileName to (text 1 through (31 - (length of theFileExtension) - 1) of theNewFileName & "." & theFileExtension) as string
    end if
    set theNewFile to (saveToFolder & theNewFileName) as string
    -- Save the file here
    if theTempFileName = "" then
    -- File name wasn't truncated
    else
    -- Rename truncated file
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    set name of (theNewFile as alias) to theTempFileName
    on error errMsg number ERRNUM
    display dialog "Error renaming file - " & errMsg
    end try
    end tell
    end if

  • Possible bug in Save for Web -- Color Changes!

    Hi,
    I'm new to CS3 and also new on the Mac (and also to thiis forum). So I might be overlooking something but I am an experienced user user of Photoshop 7 on a pc. Never had a problem like this.
    When I try to save an image with the color #c51076 as a gif using the Save for Web function I get a totally different color. Much lighter!!! I don't get it. I can't get the color I want.
    I jjustt found out that iit also messes up webcolors: it swaps one webolorr for another.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing. First let me say I think it's really great that you have shared all the documentation about these color issues. I read your page before posting here, and I tried each of the suggested solutions, and wasn't able to fix it. Maybe it is a problem with the Mac OS and the way it displays images non-color managed images. But it's not like all the images I view on Firefox are dull-just the ones I've edited, because they appeared different in CS3.
    As I mentioned above, I am not the only one who is having this problem, despite trying all of the fixes suggested (see the link to forum thread posted above). I think my next step is to schlep my MacBook over to the Mac store and see if they can verify my monitor profile. But if anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know!

  • Gif becomes grainy/pixelated in 'Save For Web'

    Hello! I recently switched laptops and I have been having major issues trying to regain the quality gifs I used to make. After I have my gif set to go, I go to save it in 'Save For Web'. This is where all of my problems start. My gif no longer looks smooth, but the entire thing has a grainy or pixelated look -- and it doesn't change no matter how I fiddle with my settings. When switching from the 'original' to the 'optimized' tab in the save for web page, you can obviously see a loss of quality. It may be slight, but it makes a huge difference to me.
    Here's a side by side reference:
    Not sure if it will help, but here are my settings when saving (I have changed from 'pattern' to 'diffusion' and nothing changes):
    Thank you for any help you can provide!

    First, JJMack is correct: lots of colours (around 32100) in this example do make it harder to convert without grain.
    Second, the quality of the GIFs you produced in Save for Web (SfW) prior to the purchase of the new laptop were never any "better" - it merely means that the previous screen was unable to display the results at a decent enough quality to actually discern the differences between the original and the GIF version with reduced colours. Screen quality does matter.
    Second, Photoshop's Save for Web colour reduction algorithms are quite old-fashioned, and (far) better methods are available. Not in Photoshop, however. For a good conversion you will have to look elsewhere.
    Here is the original version @2x zoom (32101 colours):
    Photoshop's version. The best visual quality I could achieve in SfW (diffusion dither at 81%, perceptual). Obvious banding issues, and a very grainy result.
    Next up: RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool). RIOT features a newer "NeuQuant neural-net" colour quantization algorithm. Notice how the gradients are quite nicely retained, although here and there some issues pop up (lips/makeup, building, arm highlight, and greenery are missing colour). Overall, though, the final result is much less grainy looking than Photoshop's effort. At the expense of smaller areas with unique colours.
    Next, let's try Color Quantizer with standard settings,  a two factor gradient priority, and 256 colours. Dithering was set to Shiau-Fan @75%. Slight banding in the lighter areas of the background, and the building and lips are again missing colours from the original. Much less grainy than Photoshop's version.
    Colour Quantizer features a quality mask brush, which allows us to safeguard smaller areas with unique colours from colour degradation. I painted a mask for the lips, the building and greenery in the background, the skin of the woman on the right in the background, the lighter area around the vent, and the forehead to preserve those areas' quality as much as possible.
    I feel this result speaks for itself. There is slight banding visible in the lighter area of the wall on the right, but still much less pronounced compared to SfW's version. The colours are all there, especially the important ones for the makeup and the smooth facial tones of Kate. The shoulder's highlight is also preserved nicely. Even the woman on the right in the background looks spot on (which was yet another sore point in SfW's version).
    Arguably the best version. Far superior to Photoshop's failed effort.
    Fourth, if you are still using GIF to optimize still images: STOP NOW. GIF is terrible in comparison to properly optimized and compressed PNG files. Only use GIF when small animated movies are your goal.
    Here is a 512 colour version produced in Color Quantizer (Photoshop's SfW function lets us down once more, unfortunately: there is no option to reduce an image to 512 colours for PNG):
    This last version is visually (mostly) indistinguishable from the original, and clocks in at only 52kb.
    Of course, if you are saving this as a still image, jpg should have been your choice in the first place, since it is a photo.
    Conclusions:
    - avoid Photoshop's "Save for Web" function if your intention is a quality colour reduction;
    - avoid GIF for still images. Either use PNG or JPG. JPG works best for photos;
    - avoid Photoshop and SfW if your intention is to optimize PNGs well. Sfw cannot save PNG files with reduced colours beyond 256 colours;
    - fall back to external and/or online utilities to optimize PNG and GIF files. Color Quantizer and RIOT deliver better results than SfW. Or use online optimization tools to optimize animated GIFs (Optimize animated GIF). You can also optimize each frame in a tool such as CQ, and then import the individual frames into a animated GIF utility. Remember, each frame can save its own custom 256 colour palette;
    - for optimum quality a quality mask tool, such as the one in CQ, is a very effective and efficient method to guarantee the best possible conversion;
    - file sizes of png files created in external utilities almost always beat the ones generated in Photoshop and SfW;
    - a better choice to export PNG files is Photoshop CC Generator. At least that one allows for 8bit PNG files with full transparency (another missing essential feature that SfW fails to provide).

  • A different take on the "Save For Web" color shift issue...

    Ok, everyone who has fussed much with photoshop and "Save For Web" knows about the color shift issue. If you want your colors to look right after you "save for web", you have to work in the sRGB colorspace, and have Proof Colors checked (soft proofing on) and the proof color setup set to Monitor RGB, otherwise what you get looks terrible when displayed in a browser.
    But of course if you are editing for print, this is exactly what you DON'T want to do. Well, I work in both. In fact, often the same images, and I want them to appear as close as reasonably possible in both print and web formats, and without a lot of fussing on my part. And I'm pickiest about the print mode, since I have the most control there, so that's the way I want to edit by default.
    Nothing new here.
    Now comes the interesting part (in my mind, anyway). Obviously there is a known remapping -- because PhotoShop DOES it when you select Proof Colors. So the inverse mapping must also be known (with some gamut issues, but I'm not concerned with those, because, after all, I'm VIEWING it on a monitor anyway!). What I want is a plug-in that automatically applies that inverse mapping so that, when I do a Save For Web, I end up with the colors I've been viewing all the time when setting the shot up in print mode. Then, too, I don't have to worry about what mode I'm in when I'm editing -- it just fixes it when doing a save-for-web.
    Again, I want to edit in my normal print mode (typically ProPhoto colorspace, and with soft-proofing off or set to the printer/medium combination I expect to use), then do a single operation (might be a multi-step action) to "screw up" my colors so that when I then do a "Save-For-Web", the resulting image, when viewed on the average color-stupid browser, looks like the image I've been seeing in Photoshop.
    Anyone know of such a beast?   I would gladly pay for a plug-in that really works and fixes the problem.
    And if you have other solutions, I'm interested, but the absolute requirement is that it I do one single edit pass for my colors for both print and web use, and I get what I see on the screen in PS on both the prints and on the web display (i.e., working in sRGB/Monitor RGB mode all the time won't cut it). And PREFERABLY, let me do all my editing work in the ProPhoto (or at least AdobeRGB) colorspace so I have a gamut closer to what the printer can do.
    Anyone got a decent solution for this?

    Sorry, I think I'm being unclear.  This has nothing to do with individual monitor profiles.  In Proof Setup, "Monitor RGB" amounts to turning off ALL color management, and simply letting the monitor do what it will.  It is what the vast majority of web browsers do (even if the operating system provides color management, the browsers don't take advantage of it), so that is what you need to consider for images that will be viewed on a web browser.  If you convert your image to sRGB,  select Monitor RGB in Proof Set up, and turn on Proof Colors, you will see the image as it would appear on a web browser (after you save it as a jpg or use "Save For Web/Devices" to save it as a jpg).   Since almost everyone is running different uncalibrated monitors, there will be lots of variation in how it will look to them, so precise control of the color is unimportant.
    That said, I would expect the color on a calibrated monitor (such as the one I use when editing) to be reasonably close to the colors I am seeing while editing in PS.  To the extent a monitor deviates from "calibrated", those colors will vary, but a good monitor should show good colors.   Unfortunately, this is NOT the case, as my previous post shows.  The colors produced by the steps above are oversaturated and significantly shifted in hue.  There is, to my mind, anyway, no reason for this.  Adobe clearly knows what the mapping is between the colors as it displays them in PS and the un-controlled "Monitor RGB" -- that is, it is the color map they are using during normal editing display.  If they were to reverse-apply that map prior to saving it as a jpg, then the image would appear on a browser on that same (presumably calibrated) monitor very similar to what you set up when editing.  Anyone else viewing the image on a web browser with a calibrated monitor would also see good colors.  To the extent other viewers' monitors are out of calibration, their colors will suck, but there's nothing you can do about that.
    I guess in some sense I AM "asking for a Color-Mamangement-solution for a "non-Color-Management-situation", but specifically I'm asking for PS Color Management to do the best it can for non-Color-Managed situations that we all face every day.
    Does that make more sense?

And I'm pickiest about the print mode, since I have the most control there, so that's the way I want to edit by default.
    Nothing new here.
    Now comes the interesting part (in my mind, anyway). Obviously there is a known remapping -- because PhotoShop DOES it when you select Proof Colors. So the inverse mapping must also be known (with some gamut issues, but I'm not concerned with those, because, after all, I'm VIEWING it on a monitor anyway!). What I want is a plug-in that automatically applies that inverse mapping so that, when I do a Save For Web, I end up with the colors I've been viewing all the time when setting the shot up in print mode. Then, too, I don't have to worry about what mode I'm in when I'm editing -- it just fixes it when doing a save-for-web.
    Again, I want to edit in my normal print mode (typically ProPhoto colorspace, and with soft-proofing off or set to the printer/medium combination I expect to use), then do a single operation (might be a multi-step action) to "screw up" my colors so that when I then do a "Save-For-Web", the resulting image, when viewed on the average color-stupid browser, looks like the image I've been seeing in Photoshop.
    Anyone know of such a beast?   I would gladly pay for a plug-in that really works and fixes the problem.
    And if you have other solutions, I'm interested, but the absolute requirement is that it I do one single edit pass for my colors for both print and web use, and I get what I see on the screen in PS on both the prints and on the web display (i.e., working in sRGB/Monitor RGB mode all the time won't cut it). And PREFERABLY, let me do all my editing work in the ProPhoto (or at least AdobeRGB) colorspace so I have a gamut closer to what the printer can do.
    Anyone got a decent solution for this?

    I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
    My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
    On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
    So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
    It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
    Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
    Thanks
