Thanks for your reply. Yes, my Photoshop CS5 is updated to 12.1. I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and have tried viewing in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome with no improved success.
I have been reading these forums for about 3 hours trying to find the answer to this question but am still at a loss. I have found one article here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7974006/overlapping-image-in-photoshop-splice-how-to-fl oat-with-css
which explains using an "absolute" value in CSS to lock images in place. I'm currently working in Dreamweaver to see if it's a common error in Photoshop when resizing browser but is easily fixed on the CSS side.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Saving for Web & Devices Spacing Error

I'm currently saving this photoshop page for Web & Devices to import into Dreamweaver and I'm running into this error. See images below:
Here's how my website is supposed to look and how I designed it:
and when I preview in browser and zoom in or out (in this case out), this happens:
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what I might be able to do to prevent this from happening? Quite irritating!
Thanks!

Error - When saving for web & devices

HELP, when I go to save a file for Web & Devices I am getting an error message It just started happening and it happens every time. Here is the message:
"Image exceeds the size Save for Web was designed for. You may experience out of memory errors and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?"
It doesn't matter how big/small the file size is. If I drag the file into Photoshop and try from there it works perfectly.
I am running leopard on a 17" MacBook Pro
2.33 ghz Intel Core Duo
160 gb hard drive
2 gb ram
60 gb free space
Any ideas???
Thanks, I am desperate.

Saving for web device

Each time I choose a file to save for web, I get an error message like: can't find file (it's staring at me from the screen), cannot complete operation or some such. I've used this method for resizing for web since I got my copy of CS4, but it's quit working. What will fix it? reinstall the program?

jaaay,
I agree with Doug.
You may Save As or Print to PDF. If you Save As, you should untick Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities, to reduce file size and avoid passing on unecessary information. Depending on the contents, you may consider the resolution requirements for raster effects/parts. Printing to PDF generally leads to smaller file sizes.
Depending on the printer (maybe in more than one sense), you may create the artwork in CMYK Document Color Mode, or RGB. The former is the right choice for printing presses/PostScript printers, the latter for non PostScript printers (where CMYK colours will be converted twice, back and forth).

Save for Web & Devices is changing resolution from 72ppi to 300ppi

Hi,
I'm writing an action to do the following.
Image size - change resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi
Automate - Fit Image - 600px x 600px
Save for web and devices - JPEG medium.
If I save at any stage (up to save for web & devices) the image is 72ppi
However when I open it again after saving for web & devices and check image size it's 300ppi HOW?
Am I missing something really stupid?
Peter

Hi Charles,
Sometimes we have to go through meaningless steps...
The spec for the job is to "automate" a process whereby we end up with a web suitable 600px JPEG of about 50k with © watermark.
Of course they are expecting a 72ppi image, so its easier if thats what they get!!!
The other requirement involves the fact that the web end of the business want to change the filename, so in order to keep a link, I write the filename to IPTC Title Field (using Peter Krogh's script)
However I've now found that if I "save for web & devices" with copyright & contact info, I get IPTC title and 72ppi,
So happy days....
Many thanks, but now just more curious to know exactly whats happening!
Peter

Save For Web & Devices GIF Preset options

In PS CS3, when saving for Web & Devices as a GIF, there's the default Preset of "[Unnamed]" with various drop down options such as GIF 128 Dithered, GIF 128 No Dither, 64, 32, GIF Restrictive, etc. I'm looking for the highest quality GIF. What should I use? Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I am using the images on a website that are somewhat larger than thumbnail size so it's not real critical. I know that generally GIFs are preferable for logos and text and JPGs for photo like images. These are a mix of art images and text. I don't know much about PNG though I notice in the GIF Save for Web & Devices drop down there are also options for PNG-24 and PNG-8 128 Dithered.
Bottom line, I'd like to know which is the best quality GIF save option of these and then I can decide between that and a JPG.

Save for Web & Devices Box Greyed Out

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to save a Photoshop CS4 file for Web & Devices so I can have Photoshop compile the slices and the CSS so I can hand-design rollovers. Unfortunately, all of a sudden the dialogue box for Save For Web & Devices is greyed out... I've check online, changed color profiles, deleted save for web and devices library files, updated Photoshop, nothing. I've even checked past .psds I've designed that I've saved for Web & Devices and haven't changed since--even the Web & Devices box is greyed out for them. Help! What do I do? I need to do this before Friday. Thank you!

Hi
I'm also having the same problem with the Save for Web & Devices Box Greyed Out.
I think it's the plugin that's corrupt, as I've tried deleting preferences and seetings. 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.
Thanks very much

PSD files saved for web and devices show up as broken when opened Dreamweaver. How can this be fixed?

PSD layouts saved for web and devices show up as broken links in dreamweaver. Previews in browsers are fine, but I keep getting and error message that says the files have been blocked. What is the fix for this?

You can also try out Project Parfait. It's a new experiment from Adobe that’s currently online and free to try out and use.
It allows easy PSD comps-to code workflows.

Photoshop crashes when saving for web and devices

When hitting saving for web and devices, Photoshop starts to render images but before it's done, it crashes. I get an error-popup with no text and the screen where normally the animation is shown is red. Then Windows comes with a crash report and I can only quit Photoshop.
I have an animation of over 150 frames, but just some black and white lines, no color.
I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5 on Win7.
I tried deleting the preferences in AppData/Roaming etc, but no result, still crashes.
My Photoshop is also updated to the latest version.
Help?

Quick Trim option in Save for Web & Devices

Hi,
a feature to do a quick Trim in Save for Web & Devices dialogue would be great, especially if it was enabled with a checkbox, then when you enable it, it activates a dialogue with the three options that already exist in Trim option (Transparent pixels, Top left color, Bottom right color).
Let me know what you think.

I need to figure out why my trim option is always grayed out. It's saved in PSD format, yet the option to trim the transparent pixels is grayed out. why is that? what am I doing wrong? I must have to change something.
Thanks in advance, Linda

Save for web & devices not working (CS4)

I noticed today that I can't save for web & devices any more. when I try it shuts down the program and gives me the following message to send a crash report:
Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Illustrator CS4 has unexpectedly quit.
this started as a Photoshop CS4 problem where I also can't save for web & devices any more. before people jump down my throat again for mentioning this Photoshop problem on the Illustrator forum - this is for context only. I have the same problem in both applications. I just include this information here in case it helps. the Photoshop message I get is:
The operation can not be completed.
savign for web & devices worked totally fine up till last night in Photoshop. haven't saved anything out of Illustrator for web & devices in a while but it used to work just fine.
I have a PC and use Windows 7. All my Adobe products are up-to-date.
Any help is much appreciated. Thx a lot!

thank you very much. at least it happened before. I was seriously doubting myself. tried trashing preference files multiple times, but that didn't help. will reinstall everything and see if that does the trick.
thanks again!

Losing quality when saving for web after using Multiply

I have a normal photograph, with a red layer on top set to Multiply/Darken. When I save it for web, regardless of what pixel size, or what uploader I use the quality is terrible.
Have tried uploading to different services, from difference devices with the same issue, so assume it's a colour profile thing.
Any help appreciated.
Image shows the difference in quality compared to normal.

DPI is pixel size and images are not displayed on screens with the pixels sized as specified in images resolution setting. The images pixels are displayed on displays with pixels the size the display is run with. So web images display on display, display with different sizes and resolution depending on the users display device.
Images saved for web display should be saved with sRGB colors for many image viewers are not color managed and assume web images have sRGB colors.
So you images will display differently on different displays and no matter how you save them colors will vary displays may not be calibrated all displays do not have the same color capabilities.
The best you can do is calibrate your display and save them with sRGB colors jpeg or png files that display well and look good on your calibrated display.
Most desktop displays are 100DPI resolution displays where newer tablets and laptop have high resolution displays 200 to 300DPI. Even new Desktop 4k display have lower resolution. I believe the highest resolution 4K display in production is the Dell 24: display . Its resolution is 185DPI. Out of production is IBM's old 4K display which had a 204DPI resolution.
