Save images for Web?

hi
i would like to ask you,why when i save images for Internet
(for my web portfolio) from Photoshop thought Save for Web and
import them in Flash they appear with rough ends ,not straight and
clear as in the original version ,please? I m saving them in couple
of versions some with Hight quality or medium but its all the
same....
please help me
what could I do that it doest occur that thing,please
Thank you

Are you rotating them once you import them into flash? They
will render with jagged edges. If you need images at an angle, I
would rotate them first in Photoshop then import them into flash,
also make sure under publish settings, you set you image quality to
high, of course this will increase the overall file size of your
swfs but give you better image quality. Hope this helps...

Save image for web/devices - random streaks

I have no idea why, but sometimes when i save images for web It leaves random streaks across certain areas. It has nothing to do with transparency/gradients because i've used normal fills and it still does it. It's probably something stupid but i can't seem to figure it out.

Document DPI vs. Save for web vs. preview. Make sure to always work in 72 DPI and you'll have a lot less problems to get predictable results. Also use the align to pixel grid options to avoid semi-transparent gaps and edges, where applicable...

I am using CS6 and when I go to save an image for Web the image does not retain its quality

I am using CS6 and when I go to save an image for Web the image does not retain its quality. The first week I did this it worked just fine and now the images save very pixely.
Here is a screenshot of my image on the artboard as I am editing it
Here is a screenshot of the image as I'm trying to save it for Web
As you can see, the image becomes pixely. I have tried to save it as every type of png and jpeg but nothing seems to work. I have no idea why it has started to do this. Please help!

Change None to Art optimized then click apply(alteast in CS5 there was an apply, believe they removed that in CS6 as so many people missed that part).

Saving Images for Web

Hi,
Whenever I save images for the web they seem to loose the richness of their color. I've not noticed this until working on a particular project that involves resizing and preparing images of artwork for a website.
The images are in sRGB color profile and I am "saving for web and devices" with ICC checked and optimization at 70. Still, the images look a bit faded overall. Is there anything else that I can do to retain the color?
Thanks!

I am wondering why my advice was any worse than yours. I admit I mistakenly suggested Monitor RGB instead of Windows RGB but as far as I know sRGB is the default for most monitors. This would put them all pretty close. Am I missing something?
I would think that having someone set the images with icc profiles and then adjusting their own browser to correctly display such images would cause the exact same problem you say my solution does. It would give the image editor an impression of the image that nobody else is going to see. I don't know anyone that uses icc profiles for web work. In general I don't think you will find many people who have set their browsers to correctly view images that have these profiles. So it seems like someone that has will be thinking the images look great on their system but not on someone else's.
If someone may eventually repurpose these for print then worry about icc profiles for the printer. It seems like a huge waste of time for anything that is purely on screen.
I am not trying to battle with you over who is correct I just want to understand what your saying.

JSX Save PNG for web, quality parameter not changing file size

Hi
I have a script that uses this snippet of code to save png files for web. But, no matter what number I change the quality, the resulting file size and image fidelity remains the same.
I was wondering if I can save pngs for web at smaller byte size with JSX and how to modify the output settings.
docName = sourceDoc.name;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/" + docName );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
options.transparency = true;
options.blur = 0.0 ;
options.includeProfile = false ;
options.interlaced = false ;
options.optimized = true ;
options.quality = 3 ;//THIS NUMBER DOES NOT CHANGE QUALITY IF CHANGED FROM 0.1 TO 100
options.PNG8 = false ;
sourceDoc.exportDocument(File( NamesaveRef), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
Thanks for your help.
Aubrey

PNG does not have a quality setting. The quality property is used when exporting jpeg. That is why changing that property has no effect with PNG files.
Photoshop now supports PNG compression but as far as I can tell you have to use Action Manager to save. I don't see a compression option when using saveForWeb.

Save as for Web gives inappropriate file type estimation

When I go to Save As For Web (and devices) I'm brought to the next screen that allows me to do a multitude of things. I can adjust the resolution of my image with many other settings but I can also, more specifically, change the file type and, upong changing the type, can see the estimated file size down on the bottom right.
The trouble is the estimated file size is stuck on the GIF format and doesn't repopulate when I change file types.Below is a screenshot of my difficulty.

As for fixing the problem, make sure you have the latest driver for your video card and if not, uninstall the old and install the latest driver.

I am done editing in Develop; how do I save edited images for web?

I get the import and development options in Lightroom but I was told by a LR representative when I called for assistance that LR does not retain any data. So, if I import photos from my camera (NEF files) and edit in Develop; where do I save the edited photos and how can I adjust them for optimum quality on the web? It seems that there are instructions on how to import and save photos from your camera, etc. but once you modify the photo using Develop, is the original then modified as well?
Sorry for the question, but I have modified several photos using the Develop Option and hate to lose all my work. I am lost as what to do now in order to save my edits. Ugh!
Thank you to anyone who can help! I am a MC Windows user if that helps.

Editing in develop is totally non-destructive. All your develop settings are saved automatically in the LR database (catalog)
For web usage select thumbnail(s) of your images in the Library and click Export. Choose jpeg, size, quality and resolution of 72 and set color space to sRGB. Add sharpening if desired. Choose a folder, sub-folder or desktop and export. Your jpeg copies will be ready to upload from your chosen folder when the export completes.

Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...
Curtis Laipple

It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

Why is my text pixelated in Illustrator when I want to save it for web?

I added a grunge effect to this font. It scales up and down and fine, but when I preview it in the "save for web" option, it gets pixelated. I tried making it an object, but I got the same result. Shouldn't Illustrator be able to scale these without a problem?
This first is a screen shot of the text. Illustrator is open and zoomed in at around 600%
This second example is when I tried to save for web and zoom in around 600% again.

arcbo,
As I (mis)understand it, what you see is simply the pixels of the raster image.
If you Save for Web at the exact size that it is being used for, the pixels will match the use and it will look nice.
Any raster image looks pixelated when scaled up beyond its actual size.

Saving images for web - is there an aperture equivalent to adobe sfw?

I'm the web designer for a small school. Aperture has been a godsend for keeping track of my work, but I want to learn more about how to use it. I want to pick the brains of you web designers out there...
When I export an image to save to our webpage, I usually use Photoshop CS2's "Save for Web" dialogue. This works, but means I have to export out of aperture, open in photoshop, then save for web. I'm trying to streamline the process and was hoping there's a way to do this in aperture. Let me give you a scenario...
If I export an image in ps that is 400x400 at jpeg quality 7, it is ~30KB in size. If I use aperture's "Export Version" and check 400x400, no metadata, jpeg 7, I get a 100KB file. This is no good for my web pages. So... is there something in there that will get me the same small files, or am I stuck with adobe???

Interesting, yes - Aperture's export appears to create resource forks for the files. I'm guessing this is to hold the preview image.
I've just exported some images, and in the Terminal, with 'ls -l', they show up as 17k. In the Finder, they're 76k.
I created copies using 'ditto --norsrc', and the copies are now the smaller size in the Finder too.

Saving Illustrator Image for Web

I have a simple logo that I'm trying to save for use on the web. The original has a transparent background but the edges are white so I have included an image with a dark background for reference. The challenge here is that the lines don't look smooth. I have tried setting AA to none as well as Art and Type Optimized. I've also tried blowing the image way up in Illustrator and scaling it down in the "Save for Web" Dialog box to match the size I need for the web.
In Illustrator the white lines are smooth and clean. When I save for web (or export at 300DPI) they are either blurry or blocky depending on the AA settings and never smooth. I've seen other vector art done in Illustrator that is smooth and clean, I just can't obtain the same results.
Thanks in advance for any help.

a screen-capture will only save your image to the monitor's resolution which is typically between 72dpi and 96dpi depending on if you're using Mac or Windows. I have found my Macbook Pro display resolution to be sharper than my HP tablet resolution though the pixels per inch are the same. I have found that to be true for the Macbook Pro vs my 30-inch display as well when viewing webpages. For some reason Apple has a sharper display. If you export your Illustrator document to a bitmap image with a high resolution such as 300dpi you will have a sharper result, though it won't be as sharp as a vector format file, such as PDF (Not Photoshop PDF, though--Illustrator PDF). Vector formats redraw the information based on mathematical equations which represent your drawing each time you upscale or downscale the drawing by zooming in on it. You will find this to be true with "Scalable Vector Graphics" which is the .SVG file format . It is not very popular currently because not every browser supports displaying SVG, though I have heard that this will change in the future with Internet Explorer 9 and other browsers. I think Apple Safari currently supports SVG. If you export your file to SVG it will export the file and an html file which is used to render the SVG xml data. In short it is similar to publishing a webpage of your drawing or publishing a SWF file into an HTML document from Adobe Flash Pro.

Trouble saving images for web in CS3

Hello All,
I am trying to make buttons, etc. in Illustrator CS3 then saving them for web stuff as either gif's or jpg's. Everything was working fine for a while - the images and text looked great. Mid project the images and text started becoming super pixilated. No matter what type of image I tried to save it as, or what quality they're set to they're very jagged, grainy and awful looking! I don't think I've changed any setting and wracked my brain and the forums, FAQ's, help for a solution to this. Just seems like it came out of nowhere!
Thanks in advance for any advice and councel!!
