Save for Web vs Save As
Is there any difference in taking a 1.6 meg JPEG picture and saving with "save for web" and adjusting options to get a 200k jpeg image, and taking same image and using "save as" and adjusting the quality so you get a 200k jpeg image? Do they use the same processes?
Wow. At that file size I'm seeing 40% savings with save for web.
[edited]
If you turn off image previews (icon, OS thumb), then the file sizes are very similar. I'm assuming that quality 9 equals 75/100. I did one test where SFW resulted in a larger file size so this assumption could be false.
Images imported with a full set of EXIF data (digi pics) will benefit from SFW, I would think.

Save For Web always saves as a GIF
Hi Guys,
I think I may have a bit of a bug with Photoshop CS6 on my Mac. Every time I try to save an image through Save For Web, the file will automatically save as a GIF, regardless of what option I choose from the drop down menu. I have tried a reinstall of Photoshop and checked my setting against someone elses machine but I can't seem to resolve the problem.
When I enter the Save For Web window, in the bottom left hand corner it says 'GIF' (just above the preview button and zoom button), if I was to change the drop down menu in the top right hand corner to JPEG or PNG, the GIF in the bottom left hand corner would stay the same, meaning that the file format would stay as a GIF.
I've added an screenshot to show whats going on, the image in the preview is just text with a outer glow around it.
Any ideas on this, as i'm a bit stumped on what my next move should be.
Cheers,
ChrisNever seen this problem before. Have you tried the classic; resetting your preferences? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/963474?tstart=0

Save for Web or Save As Jpg for website
Saving photographs for my website. Files are big, 1140 pxls high (width varies with cropping/landscape or portrait). Because of the large size of the photographs on screen, I need a good quality file - minimal artifacting.
Is Save for Web (Tiff or PSD to Jpg) going to give me a smaller file size than Save As Jpg at a similar quality (compression) setting?
Website is Flash, so I'll strip the metadata, but in situations where I want to keep metadata embedded (ie on blogs), is Save for Web still going to give me a smaller but still high quality file?
Can anyone explain what Save for Web does differently to Save As - when dealing with Tiff/PSD to JPG?
Thanks!
Mac, CS5.5I'm not discounting the ability to inspect images in greater detail. I'm just noting that it is inefficient as a designer/publisher to push more data than what the average user needs. That is not how the internet works now or in the future. You did not download the entire Adobe forums for offline reading. You open only the forum pages/discussions that interest you. We invite data to us. We don't have it slammed at us. I would not doubt that your pinch zoom example could be addressed with a javascript event to load a higher resolution graphic between the moment the image is first touched and the point when you zoom.
There is no such thing as unlimited storage and bandwidth. Check your hosting plan for the fine print. BizLand/Endurance hosting will most certainly yank your site offline if it starts to take an unreasonable share of system resources from other sites shared on the same server. I've seen this happen often, especially with Endurance hosting. I'll never use them again.
You may be able to get away with bloated graphics on your own site, which ranks 2,310,866 on alexa.com. But a site like adobe.com (ranking at 65) is going to be much more concerned about image sizes. If you host an image at 300kb that could have been 100kb, you waste 2MB among the handful of people that visit your site in a day. At Adobe's scale, they will have wasted multiple gigabytes of bandwidth.
Bear in mind that you are limited to a certain number of concurrent HTTP connections. This has not changed with the advent of faster networks. While a connection is held up to load a larger graphic, another HTML, JS, CSS or image file has to wait in line to load. Peek into the source graphics used in this page. Jive makes heavy use of css sprites to lessen the dependence on multiple connections.
You will never get away from designing for economy. That is why we use JPG images instead of BMP images. -
"Save for Web" only saves as GIF, not PNG :(
Hi everyone,
I'm totally stumped here. I have a giant file that's all sliced up, and I'd like to export it as PNGs, but regardless of what format I select, it always saves the images as GIFs. I've narrowed it down so I know that it's a problem with the file (I've restarted, cleared PS's settings, reinstalled PS, tried it on a different computer, etc), but I still have no idea how to fix it. Short of starting over, how can I get it to save the images as PNGs?
Thanks,
RaniNothing's greyed out, I can select PNG, and in the save dialog it even says "my_filename.png", but then when I go to look at the images they're all gifs.

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:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/362899
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. -
In Photoshop CS6, Save for Web strips out my filename after a period "." character
I have a file named label-1.5oz.psd. In Photoshop CS6 when I use "Save for Web" to save it as a JPG, it only wants to save a part of the filename: label-1.jpg
I strips out everything after the period "." character. I know it's incorrectly thinking that's a file extension.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Any settings I should tweak? I'd really love for it to save the full filename without requiring me to retype the last part every time.
Thanks in advance for any help!Oh if only it were that easy... Unfortunately, they have to be cropped and resized, converting over from a print catalog where much of that work was originally done in InDesign, and now have to convert each individual image to make the web site look like the catalog... but thanks for the suggestion, have already tried to automate what I could.. But much of this is going to be hands on... getting my familiar quick keys to function correctly would help greatly.

How to "save for web" via batch processing in Photoshop elements
I have a bunch of logos that need to be resized and 'save for web." How can I process these files as a batch in Photoshop elements. Many thanks!
You can batch save them as jpgs, gifs, or PNGs using Process Multiple Files, and even batch resize them as long as they are all in the same orientation and the same aspect ratio (shape), but the resulting files will be somewhat larger than you'd get with Save for Web because Save for Web removes the photos' exif data, which PMF won't. Since these are logos, there shouldn't be much difference.

In my PS CS5 trial (Mac 64 bit): When attempting to Save for Web, or save a PNG or BMP I am receiving the below error. It is very generic and unlike the others I had been reading about the similar write permission issue.
In attempt to resolve this issue I have updated Photoshop and even tried Write Permission fixes in vain. I have also gone into the application settings and changed the program to open in 64 bit.
I have been scouring the forums and the web for someone with this exact problem and have not found a solution. I am not the admin of this machine, but have read + write permissions. Your help is greatly appreciated.from adobe:
you'll have to delete prefs manualy
Save for Web
If you try to save named slices to a directory where that filename already exists, Photoshop will fail to prompt you with an overwrite warning. You will silently overwrite the existing file.
We have removed the shortcut used to delete the preference file for Save for Web in Photoshop CS5. To manually delete this preference file, navigate to the following locations and delete the Adobe Save for Web 12.0 Preferences file:

PS CS6 action save for web error
In Photoshop CS6 actions when we save the image as JPEG through save for web it doesn't work when we run it, instead it runs and saves the image as HTML, i guess some error in it. I tried it again and again but it doesn't remember my save for web settings and saves the images as HTML.
It a new bug in CS6 though when you recorded the action you saved jpeg images to you desktop and you only entered file names onto the save for web action steps the action recorder recorded name.html. I replaced you save for web steps on my machine for my desktop and CS6 recorded name.html. I then did the same with CS5 though I only entered names CS5 recorded name.jpg.
If you expand the export steps tou will see the hard coded file names and extention
An action like this will always save the same files it can not be batch because you recorded Path and Names in the save for web steps. The .html files saved on with CS6 are actually jpeg files and if you rename them hrom name.html to name.jpg you can use them,

Override action "save as" command with save for web batch processing
Hi everyone,
I've created an action that uses the save for web dialogue to optimise images for the web. When I use the batch command to process a full folder of images, even though I have "Override action "save as" command" checked, it ignores this and still uses the location that was used when the action was created.
Apparently this is a known issue in CS6 and previous versions but I wondered if anyone knows whether this has been fixed in Photoshop CC?
Appreciate any advice.
ThanksSince save for web is an export plugin, none of the destination options have any effect on where the files are saved
or the file names.
Save for web only saves the files to the folder specified when you recorded the action.
(it's always been that way and still is in photoshop cc)
You might look at the Image Processor Pro
(included in Dr. Brown’s Services 2.3.1)
(has a save for web option)

Photoshop CS3 Save for Web Outputs Large Filesizes
Hi guys,
I have been using Photoshop CS3 for many happy years and over the last few weeks I have noticed something very unusual. When I use Save for Web and save jpegs, gifs, or other images, the estimated file size which shows in the corner is being heavily inflated when I look at the actual file size of the files it's outputting.
I am having to open up the files in Preview and then do another save as jpeg to get the file size down!
For example, I regularly make small 200px wide by 96px high logos for a clients website and have been doing this for a few years. The average file size of these is about 5KB, which is what I aim for. When I use Save For Web now, it will indeed show an output size of around 5KB, however, Finder reveals the size is 17KB or higher!
Why is it doing this and how do I put a stop to it? It is very frustrating and time-wasting to use third-party apps to fix simple small things like this. Please don't suggest I upgrade to CS5 to fix the problem.
CheersThanks for your help, I don't know if I reset my save for web preferences as I tried the keyboard shortcut method shown in the other forum post you provided, however, I didn't see any feedback indicating if it worked. Also, they were using PC keyboard commands not Mac, so I tried using either Control and Command just in case.
Either way I tried another thing while I was in the Save for Web dialog, I clicked on the little arrow the points to the right underneath the Done button and to the right of the Preset drop-down. It is called the "Optimize Menu", I then clicked on "Edit Output Settings" and chose "Default Settings" from the "Settings" drop-down.
My saved image file is now 5KB! Finder shows it as 8KB, however, Dreamweaver is showing it as 5KB which is all I wanted!! Hooray! -
"Save for Web" not working (again)
I have reinstalled Photoshop CC and removed all "save for Web" preference files.
I receive the following error message:
"The operation could not be completed. A file or directory already exists with the same name"
Which file or directory?
Wouldn't it ask if I want to "overwrite" the file?
Running
Photoshop CC 14.2.1 x64
Mac OSX 10.9.2
Before you roll your eyes and say "Watch the video" about removing preferences files - I have done all of that, in addition to reinstalling Photoshop CC twice.
It is the second time this has happened to me in a year. Now Illustrator is also misbehaving when I try to "Save for Web".
"Save for Web" is a really important feature for me - I am a freelancer doing graphics and web.
Anybody have any Ideas? Is this a common problem? Is Adobe working on it? Is it a Mavericks problem?
Thanks...
Nachricht geändert durch arlenesey12Okay for anybody who is interested - the ONLY thing left for me to do - and what I have done - is to create a new User account and copy all my files to the new account.
I did this by copying the files first to the "shared" folder in Users. - not simply by moving them but by copying them - Important!
There was a suggestion somewhere that you could delete the User with the problem, create a user with the same name and then reincorporate the old user data into the new account - this did not work for me.
Removing all the various Preferences mentioned in 3-4 similar posts from people with the same problem did not help.
I even contacted Adobe Customer Assistance (chat), they took over my screen and after trying the above and more, the only thing left that worked was for them to create a new User test account. This worked.
But what a botherto move everything! iTunes, iPhoto, Mail - they all have to be moved in a certain way (do your research).
Another tip - to be safe, I have kept the old account and maintained it as "Administrator" - and changed the password.
My new User (Where I moved my files to and will work out of) is not an Administrator account, and has a totally different password.
I don't believe I was "hacked" - I think a log somewhere got corrupted. -
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. -
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. -
'Assertion has failed' Error when using Save for Web (PSCS)
This problem is due to the Save for Web preferences becoming corrupted.
Delete the Safe For Web Preferences by holding down CTRL+ALT whilst clicking on File>Save for Web.
(the Save foe Web preference file is saved at:
C:\Documents and Settings\~username\Application Data\Adobe\Save for Web\8.0\
if you wish to delete manually)You are not really making sense.
a) Viewing images at more than 100% in any viewer will introduce resampling from image to screen space. Different tools use different algorithms, but none of them will ever be perfectly "sharp". Again, simple mathematics.
b) JPEG is a compressed format that will never produce "sharp" lines in areas that don't coincide with the underlying block compression. If you wanted that, you'd use PNG or other formats.
So unless you can provide screenshots that illustrate your issue better at 100% zoom, I see nothing out of the ordinary here. Of course there could be all sorts of issues liek color space conversion or odd pixel sizes causing unfavorable distribution of compression blocks, but we realyl cannot judge any of that based on teh info you provided.
