Saving logo for Web

I am having trouble with saving my logo for web. I went to Save for web but what are the specs to save as PNG? I am using this logo for signature use in an email..but when I print it out it look very pixeleted. The logo size I reduced to 1.5 in X 0.4288 in... should I flatten transparency or rasterize
Please Help
Thanks

What application are you using? Despite our best efforts to advise you that WebHelp isn't the place to post this issue, you ended up posting in the RoboHelp WebHelp forum category.
I suspect you aren't using RoboHelp.
I'm moving this thread to Forum Comments until we hear back what app you are using. Then I'll move it to the appropriate venue.

  • Saving logo for web – What's an Illy thread doing here?

    This thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/470690?tstart=0
    Is in the Illustrator forum... so, why is it here?
    Are the threads now starting to bridge the continuum?

    Hi Jay
    That one was me. Sorry.
    Despite our best efforts to advise folks what our forums are for, It appeared in one of the forums I monitor (RoboHelp) and I knew right away it didn't belong there.
    Until I heard from the OP what product s/he was using, I moved it here as a temporary measure. Then when I heard back I moved it again to Illustrator.

  • 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!!

    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.

  • How to get a gif file to loop in PE11 with MAC 10.6.8? 480x320x72 pix/in. saved layers for web, check animate,preview plays fine but saved file doesnt

    can't figure out why the gif file won't loop. Set up 5 photo frames 480x320pixels x 72pix/in in PE11, creating a layer for each. Each layer visible. Saved for web. Checked animate. The preview plays fine. But when I save the file and then click on the saved file to play, it re-opens the layers instead of playing the loop. The only SAVE option that shows up is "IMAGES ONLY"
    Using photoshop elements 11 on MAC 10.6.8. Either I'm setting this up wrong or is there a hidden setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the thought, Barbara B. Not sure if this counts, but emailed the file to myself [different email account, same computer] but it would not play as an email attachment. Any suggestions for a web upload where I can test your suggestion? Seems like there should be a different save option other than IMAGES ONLY but that is the only option I'm given.

  • Saving object for web - pixelated & distorted

    Trying to save an image for web in Illustrator. It's a "browse" icon that we use for our product. We're recreating the icons to look more "flat" with the outline state as the inactive and the fill state as the active. Here's what I get when I export it for the web as a .png.
    **image when it's zoomed in using Preview
    **image at it's normal size using preview.
    **image after flattening transparency
    I've tried to optimize, not optimize, flatten transparency,  rasterize -- none of it's worked to make this icon look any better. The only thing that came somewhat close was flatten transparency -- that helped with the pixelation but the boxes all became distorted. Please help!

    Image at normal size using preview is the most helpful piece of information. Would be good to knwo your exact pixel dimensions.
    Did you use align to pixel grid? Try saving as .gif. This is as good as you can get with such a small size.

  • 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!

  • Saving slices for web illustrator

    Im trying to make a web wireframe in Illustrator CS6. From a tutorial I watched I started to make slices for different components on my web page by going object>slice>make. However when ever I saved it and opened the file up again the slices were gone. Also, I tried to save selected slices by going to file>save selected slices and also file>save for web but neither of these methods worked and the save slices never showed. I am new to illustrator and web design.
    Thanks

    I tried using the option of going file> save selected slices and then the save dialogue box appears and I choose my destination for desktop but it never appears :/ I think I've tried searching for the file a couple of times on my mac but I still coudn't find it. I also tried to go file >save for web and tick the option of exporting selected slices as I only want to export one slice the about me button. This shows in the destination I choose however it doesnt export the selected slice, just one of the sections around the slice
    Here is the save for web dialogue box and I want to just export the small about me text slice which is highlighted by the gold boarder.
    And this is the slice I am getting

  • Raw, colorsync profiles, and saving/exporting for web

    I'm having a bit of trouble dealing with my raw files, or more particularly, being sure that I'm saving for webpages with the right profile.
    I have several thousand images in Nikon's NEF and/or DNG format. I'd like to have iPhoto be my main catalog for them, but I don't want to copy over the several gigs worth, so I set the prefs to NOT copy the files over. The working jpg files it creates seem fine, but I can't tell whether they have the AdobeRGB profile associated with them, since that's what I shot them with. I'd then like to export them, or save them, to jpegs for the web at a somewhat reduced size, but they need to be in sRGB format for proper web presentation, which I'll do much of the work with iWeb. But there's no color profile choice in the export dialog, or the edit dialog, or anywhere else I can find. Am I missing something?
    Basicallly, I'd like to have all my images in albums, and then have subalbums with the web versions (say about 900x600, about 70% quality, and sRGB color space). Is this possible with iPhoto? I've been mucking about with Adobe's Lightroom, which does have the color space choices in the export dialog, as well as a ton of other features. And previously I used Photoshop CS2 / Bridge to handle everything. But I thought iPhoto would make things easier.
    Mark

    Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
    I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.

  • Formatting Illustrator logo for web

    I have two questions regarding formatting a logo for the web.
    1.) I am putting an Illustrator logo on a Photoshop web banner graphic. What is the best procedure to apply this to the banner? Right now, I am exporting it from Illustrator to a native Photoshop file with export options as follows:
    Color model RGB
    Screen 72 dpi
    Write layers checked
    Preserve text checked
    Maximum editability checked
    Anti-aliasing checked
    2.) What is the best format to to send to my client if he plans to use this logo for future web use? Simple RGB, or should I output on Save for Web and Devices for other options such as a GIF or PNG-24?

    The web is uncalibrated. Desktop browsers may be able to read image color profiles and correct them for monitor profiles, but that doesn't do you any good on mobile devices nor on the 90% of computers that are uncalibrated. just use the defaults - sRGB, no embedded profiles. the rest wil ldepend on what your client wants to do with it, but your post implies that he wants to merge the logo with other artwork and do his own web compliant version, so sending a PSD file would be the most lossless and efficient method.

  • 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 GIFs for web and devices

    We are wanting to see if the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop will make animated GIFs any smaller when you "save for web and devices" than previous versions like CS6 or CS5. Does anyone know? !

    These articles may also provide some inspiration for further optimization:

  • Saving PDF for Web?

    Hello!
    I recently designed a 6-page annual report, meant to be disseminated as a PDF via web and e-mail.  I am having trouble getting the PDF small enough and streamlined enough for this purpose.  The file is under 4MB, but even on my system it is difficult to scroll through it, and graphics take a moment to appear or flash repeatedly on the screen.
    The design is simple but includes many gradients and transparencies, which I assume is the root of the problem.  I have flattened transparency and converted text to outlines.  There are no images other than one vector logo.  When saving as a PDF, I choose "smallest file size," with all options unticked except "save for fast web review."  Lowering downsampling under "compression" made no difference.  Even external sites like smallpdf.com would not make the file smaller.  I'm not even sure changing the file size will ultimately solve the issue of the graphic elements flashing and taking time to properly appear.
    Is there anything else I can do to make this file more accessible to a broad audience?
    Thanks!

    Outlining is considered very bad practice for many reasons (and cannot be undone).
    True, but not in all cases...
    But that is for a different conversation.
    You could try using indesign.
    I have found this will create a much more compact PDF then illustrator.
    and is much better at dealing with text

  • Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

    Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web.  I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
    Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift?  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
    Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

  • Saving for web and devices scaling problem

    Hello,
    Whenever I try and save a 'larger' PSD by slicing it, and saving it for web and devices It always seems to 're-size' it and limit me to a certain percentage such as 70%.
    For the projects I'm working on - I NEED the width to remain at 750 pixels - rather then 70% or even 40% of that - and it won't allow me to change it back to 100%.
    I understand the JPG image will be large - but is there anyway I can turn this setting off? It only seems to be happening since I got Photoshop for creative cloud...
    Thanks!
    Andy

    Because you are slicing, the remaining portion could be a spacer image(s). If you don't need slicing which is used for creating multiple images cut out of the original to allow for clicking to a URL. Then I would advise finding another route.
    Even though you can get a warning the image is too big, there is a possiblity that save for web will still work just fine for that image.
    If not then you can do the work your self, by duplicating the image then either reduce the size of the image with image>Image Size...  or crop the image using the crop tool. (the reason for the duplicate file is a precaution to make sure you don't accidently save the reduced file to the original and therefore throwing out data.)
    That said, you could also use the image processor which can save in psd, jpg, and tiff. It can also be used to reduce the image size. The beauty of image processor is that it can work on single files or a folder of images. The new images will be placed in a new folder with the name of the format and will be located in the same folder as those it is processing.
    Another option is to use camera raw. Since camera raw can load tiff and jpg images (Photoshop CC can also load png files) you can use camera raw to crop images the crop is stored in the metadata therefore the crop is non-destructive. Allowing you to uncrop at any time you choose. If you have photoshop CC you can also use camera raw as a filter which means any layer or all layers in your photoshop file can be edited in camera raw allowing non-destructive crops.
    As you can see with photoshop there are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing, some easier, some quicker some more accurate and they will fall into either a destructructive or non-destructive process.
    So hopefully all this information does not confuse you any as it is meant to help provide alternative approaches to your issue.

  • Using CS4 - in the past PS set up a file for images saved for "web

    I am using PS and Dreamweaver CS4. In the past, when saving an image for "web and devices", PS set up a separate file for saved images which then showed up in Dreamweaver. I have somehow lost PS in Dreamweaver. Instead, Photoshop puts the saved image back into the original file.PS is grayed out in Dreamweaver so cannot connect back to any images from Dreamweaver either. How do I get back to preferences I originally set up for saving images for web and devices. I have Windows XP Professional.

    Save For Web is an Export, not a Save. That distinction means it saves out a copy, leaving the original as it was. The export destination is set in the SFW dialog, and is sticky. The next time it exports to the same location unless you change it again.
    So you just need to point Dreamweaver to where your SFW exports go. That's all.
    (Disclaimer - I don't use DW, but I assume it works like any other software).
