Spot Heling Brush Tool & Save for Web screen

Spot Heling Brush Tool
While using Wcom Grip Pen I can’t switch brush size option to any other than Pen Pressure – it’s not good.
Save for Web screen
It would be good to have “Apply” button for size changing, like it w3as in CS3 (I didn’t use older versions).

You don't use pixel preview and possibly also do not work at 72dpi, do you? That's why your crop lands on sub-pixel values and is quantised to the next whole pixel, changing the effective output dimensions. Aside from that, why bother with artboards? You could just use the slice tool and save it all in one go...

Help me using tools Save for Web?

I want to use tool Save for Web to compress image and upload to website KingShop.vn but unknow? Help me use it, pls.

Save for Web will create a JPG that has some things stripped out to make is smaller than a regular Save might produce, but PS doesn't upload to a website. That is something you'll have to determine from other sources, perhaps the website owner.

Save for web doesn't match artboard

I have been using the artboard tool to try and save icons individually from a document with several dozen icons on the work space. I click the artboard tool, drag a box around the icon and then do "save for web". The resulting image I see in the save for web screen is slightly cropped and does not match the area that I selected with the artboard tool.
Am I doing something wrong?
I am running Illustrator CS4 on a Dell PC (64 bit) with Windows 7 Professional.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

.gif preview slow in Save for Web

I am having an issue in Save for Web where the .gif animation preview works very slow and choppy. I am an advertising designer and many times I need to work on animated .gif banners. I am working with Photoshop CS6. When I play the animation in the frame timeline the animation speed works as intended, a little choppy but the timing isn't too bad. However when I go into the Save for Web screen and play the animation it always appears a lot slower and looks choppy. Anything se to 0.0 or No Delay runs as if its set to .1 seconds. Now if I export the file and open it in Chrome the animation speed seems to go back to normal. This wasn't always the case, I tested this 2 or 3 months ago and the animation speed in the export was also slow and choppy but it must have been fixed in one of the updates since then.
My issue is I don't want to have to preview everything in Chrome after I export it, and then possibly have to go back and tweak it then save again, preview again etc. I have never encountered this issue in previous versions on Photoshop or other machines. Ususally my experience has been the opposite, the frame timeline has always been slower, but previewing in Save fro Web has shown a pretty accurate preview.
I also have a HP laptop running Windows 7, photoshop CS6 and I don't encounter this issue at all. It seems that everyones default answer on all of the forums is "different browsers handle .gif animation speeds differently, etc.." but int he past I have saved a .gif on my mac and it was slow and choppy in the Chrome, then I saved the same file on my PC transfered it back to the mac and previewed in Chrome and the animation played quickly and smoothly.
I can't see it being a hardware issue because the machine I am using is farily new. iMac Late 2013/2013, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB, running OSX 10.8.4 Mountain Lion.
Could it possibly be a setting or preference that needs to be changed? As I stated above it seems that now when I export the animation works fine in the browser the preview is just slow, but I have read that many people are having this issue so hopedully someone will have a solution.

I don't use a Mac but the first the first thing I do when I have performance problems with Photoshop on my PC is to do some house cleaning. I reset my Photoshop Preference to a saved copy I made when Photoshop was working well. I Also clean my disk up clearing caches and temp files so the plenty of scratch space. I close all applications and look at the machine CPU utilization. Then try Photoshop to see if it is back to its normal performance.

Photoshop CC2014: Can't use save for web option PLEASE HELP

Whenever I try and save a small animation as a gif (or anything in save ffor web) this happens http://prntscr.com/4gpseu This happened in CS6 I upgraded thinking it might fix it

As you can see from my screen capture I had no problem problem doing a 30 frame animation with Photoshop CC 2014. You screen capture looks strange. Your save for web screen capture shows frame 2 almost 8MP in size and all pixels are pinkish where the color map shows colors all a single gray for the animation no variation in color are all ???

Save for web and using a alpha channel to optimise a jpg? Is it missing in CS4/5+ ?

Hi guys,
I have just tried to do an old technique I used to use to reduce the szie of big background images, and they was to make a alpha channel and specify which areas of the image you want to be kept at the highest quality and what areas you wanted it to be low quality.
I dont seem to be able to find it anywhere in the "Save for web" screen.
This post here suggests it might have been dumped after CS3???

As far as i know those features were removed from Save for Web after cs3.

Issues With Save For Web CS6

I'm having some issues with my file when trying to Save For Web. A band of transparency appears above my image even though I have everything cropped to the artboard, and the artboard is exactly the size I want the final image to be. If I uncheck "Clip to Artboard" the band of transparency disappears from the top, but reappears on the right side. It seems as if the artboard area is calculated differently in the Save For Web screen; its slightly off. I've included some images so you can see the issue.
Trying to save for web as a .png with "Clip To Artboard" selected; a tiny (one pixel tall?) band of transparency on the top of the image.
Trying to save for web as a .png without "Clip To Artboard" selected; the image seems to shift and the band of transparency appears on the right size. Also some of the pieces of the image appear on the bottom outside of the artboard.
I made sure to crop each element of my image to fit exactly on the artboard. Previously, I had made sure to use a clipping mask exactly the size of the artboard and still had these issues. I would like my .png to not have a band of transparency. It has the same issue when I change it to .jpg, but instead has a white matte band. What am I doing wrong, or is this just an issue with Illustrator? Thanks in advance!

Depending on your use of the image in context, won't the transparent strip "disappear?"
The only solution I know is to open it in Photoshop and manually crop out the transparent strip. AI or Save for Web also seems to antialias the edge of free-standing art over a transparent background. I just make the artwork slightly larger than the final cropped size, save for web, then crop in Photoshop.

Photoshop CC and 2014 spot healing brush tool causing blue screen on windows 8.1

Hi,
The problem is when I'm using spot healing brush tool soon as apply it it causing fatal error on my windows. I have all suite up to date.
please advice.

First thing to do is check you have all the latest device drivers for all your devices and all windows 8 updates. Printer drivers, Display Drivers, Network drivers etc. It is not possible for an Application program like Photoshop.exe to cause a Blue Screen. However Applications use devices and device drivers are able to do things application programs can not do.

Crop tool doesn't work in Save for Web GRRRRRR

Hi,
I'm working with Illustrator CS3 and seem to have a problem with the crop area tool. When exporting an image in "save for web", however, Illustrator just ignores the settings and crops to the artboard.
Is this a know bug? Or my computer going nuts? What should I do?
I took this from the lost archiveâ¦ I seems that slices influence this.
Anybody any clues? (AI 13.02/ OS X 10.4.10)
thnx

Basically, I would do this as James does. However, James is assuming you know what he means by "Use two applications of Transform effect to make the 3 x 4 array." Since you or another reader may not, I offer the following recipe that I prepared some time ago for a class. It's for 8-up business cards that will fit on letter-size stock.
SETTING UP THE ELEMENTS
New document, rename Layer 1 to Cards.
Make a rectangle 3.5 X 2 inches (the size of a standard business card). Give it no stroke and a light gray fill (so you can see it as reference; you can clear the fill later).
Make a single set of crop marks for the top left corner. I made a 27-pt. square (3/8 inch) - no stroke or fill - and another at 18 pts (1/4 inch) - .25 stroke, no fill. Copy a horizontal segment from the smaller square, paste, and drag it to snap its left anchor to the bottom left anchor of the larger square. Copy a vertical segment from the small square, paste, and drag it to snap its upper anchor to the top right corner of the larger square. Delete the small square and group the segments/large square. Drag this group into the Symbols panel so you never have to make one again. The group on the page is now a Symbol; drag it by its lower right anchor to snap to the upper left corner of the business card rectangle. The two quarter-inch crop marks are offset from the card by 1/8 inch.
Select the crop symbol.
Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 3.5 inches (the width of the card)
Move Vertical: 0
Copies: 1.
Reference Point (tic-tac-toe thing): right column
Reflect X: On
OK. The crop marks appear on the upper right corner of the card.
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
(Warning box: Apply New Effect)
Move Horizontal: 0
Move Vertical: -2
Copies: 1
Reference Point: lower row
Reflect Y: On
OK. Crop marks appear on all four corners of the card.
At this point you can give the card rectangle a fill and stroke of None, and save the card/crop marks combination as a symbol. Call it BC.
Delete all the unused Symbols and Save Symbol Library: "BC"
Target the Card layer (click on the circle)
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 4 inches
Move Vertical: 0
Copies: 1
Reference Point: any
Reflect: Both Off
OK. A copy of the card with its crop marks appears 1/2 inch to right of original.
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 0
Move Vertical: -2.5 inches
Copies: 3
Reference Point: any
Reflect: Both Off
OK. 3 new rows of cards and crops appear below the first row
You now have crop marks for 8-up business cards; the original crop symbol and card rectangle are selected.
Go to the Graphic Styles panel and make this a new graphic style; name it BC 8-Up. Delete all the unused Graphic Styles, and Save Graphic Style Library as "BC 8-UP"
USING THE ELEMENTS
New document. Drag out an instance of the BC symbol, and put it in the upper left corner of your letter-size page.
Click the BC 8-Up Graphic Style. Eight blank business cards are laid out.
New layer. Over the top left business card create or place any combination of type or art you want repeated on all the cards.
Target the layer and click the BC 8-Up Graphic Style. The artwork appears in place on all the cards. Any editing you do in the top left card is instantly reflected in the others. Also, because the style is applied to the layer, anything you put on this layer will have the style applied to it.
New layer. Over the top left business card place any type you want to be different on each card. With it selected as an object, click the BC 8-Up style - the type appears on all the cards.
Object > Expand Appearance. The type on each card is now individually editable.

Slice tool is arow in save for web and............

Hi, besides the fact that slice numbers are not showing up here in vista 32 CS4 (show slice number is activated in the preferences and show slices in view as well and I did a reset !) I encountered a other strange thing in "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES" when you select the slice tool it doesn't change in a slice tool but stays a arrow and works like a slice tool.
Hope someone comes with a solution for the slice numbers, they only show up in the "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES"dialog. But it's not very handy to work without them.

Have you patched Photoshop to version 11.0.1 and have you updated your video drivers?

Crop Area Tool leaves a small border when using Save for Web

A grain of sand as problems go; tiny but irritating.
The process:
Click on an object (or grouped objects) with the Crop Area Tool.
Click File, and Save for Web and Devices
The problem:
The resulting image is offset one pixel from the crop area box, leaving a white or gray border on one or more edges. No empty space between the image and crop area box is detectable when zoomed in all the way. All measurements appear accurate.
I'm using Illustrator cs3 13.0.2, with Windows XP.
Has anyone else come across this problem?

Yeah I have the same problem and it is incredibly frustrating!!

Script Needed to work with "Save for Web" Tool

I am looking to compress the JPG image files using the Save for Web tool within Photoshop CS2. As you know, this tool yields better results in image quality and file size than the standard Photoshop Save As command.
To this end, I would like to batch process multiple images within multiple sub-folders. Unfortunately, I havent found a process that will allow the use of the Save for Web JPG compression, batch process the JPG files within a sub-folder structure and re-write the images to the same folder.
What I have managed to accomplish up to this point, is create a Photoshop Action incorporating the Save for Web tool. However, the Save for Web menu always prompts to save a file to a specified folder. This seems to be the Catch-22 to the batch processing capabilities. When using Photoshops batch processing feature with this Action, and also enabling include all sub-folders, all the resulting files created are always saved to one specified folder.
I need a script (perhaps Java or Visual Basic) which will run in Photoshop, and allow the use the Save for Web tool (JPG High, Quality 60, Optimized), batch process a series of images contained within a sub-folder structure and then re-write the image files to the same location. Can anyone help with this?

The files must be very large.
On my machine
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.01GHz 1GB Ram
It failed with an uncompressed file 347.6MB (40.9MB on Hard Disc) with not enough memory.
It managed to do a 277.4MB uncompressed file (34.3MB) with no problem although it was slow.
With such large files it might be betted to just do a folder at a time so there are two new vars that you can alter.
MAXJPGSIZE this is the size of the file on the Hard Drive.
SUBFOLDERS setting this to true will include subfolders and false will only process the selected folder.
Paul.
//GLOBAL vars, amend values to suit.
//Maximum size of file in Megabytes to process (This is the file size on the Hard Drive)
MAXJPGSIZE = 34;
// "true" = include subfolders - "false" do not include subfolders
SUBFOLDERS = true;
var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder with JPGs to process");
if (imageFolder != null) processFolder(imageFolder);
function processFolder(folder) {
    var fileList = folder.getFiles()
     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        var file = fileList[i];
if (file instanceof File && file.name.match(/\.jpg$/i)) {
     if((file.length/1024/1024).toFixed(0) < MAXJPGSIZE +1){
              open(file);
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS;
var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(activeDocument.fullName.fsName));
saveFile.remove();
SaveForWeb(saveFile,60);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
app.purge(PurgeTarget.ALLCACHES);
$.gc();
app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits;
app.preferences.typeUnits = strtTypeUnits;
} else
if (file instanceof Folder && SUBFOLDERS) {
       processFolder(file);
function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
   sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
   sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
   sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;
   sfwOptions.optimized = true;
   sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);

Photoshop slice tool and Save for Web image quality. Will it affect prints?

I want to slice a large photo into multiple smaller (4x6) printable photos to arrange in a 12x12 inch scrapbook binder pocket (made of of 4x6 pockets). I need to order separate 4x6s online so tiling in the print options is not what I need.
The slow way I know to do this involves cropping and saving each section (maybe even recording this action to do batch processing). However, another way is to use the slice tool to quickly divide up the sections then "Save for Web...". I can adjust some parameters, but I'm afraid there are other automatic adjustments that I don't want. For example, all images are converted to 96 dpi instead of the original 300 dpi. The number of pixels remains the same so I don't think there will be problems printing the picture.
My question is: does the Save for Web function reduce image quality in any way when printing (it is obviously intended to be used to optimize images for websites)? Are there settings in "Save for Web" that would optimize for high quality prints? Is there a better way to tile an image?
I have not yet compared any prints.
W7
CS6

If you understand that something will do something you do not want like convert to 96 DPI as long as it does not resample you can always convert back to 300 DPI. If you want 6 4x6 to form a 12x12 you must start with an square 1:1 aspect ratio image. That you resample to 12"x 12" at 300 dpi if you want 6 4x6 300 dpi images.
If the original images vary in size and aspect ratio you need to crop them square or add two borders to make them square. The rest is easy to do with an action.
The square crop or border can be automated with a little scripting. If crop a center crop would be the route to go. My crafting actions package contains more the a dozen scripts to be used within action. One is a plug-in script that would make center cropping a snap two steps menu File>Automat>AspectsRatioSelection followed menu Image>Crop. Add a menu Image>Size set side to 12" and resolution 300 DPI and you have your starting 12"x12" 300 dpi image.
Flatten the image make your first 4"x6" selection copy past to add it as a layer. Select the background select the next 4x6 area copy and paste repeat that process till you have added the 6 4"X6" layers. Then delete the background, Select all, target all layers and use layer>Align layers to selection>Top edge then repeat align to left edge. the Image>Trim you have your 6 4x6 in a stack. You can the use Adobe Photoshop Script Export Layer to file. All automated in an action however the last step Export layers to files is interactive for its not a plug-in script. So if you batch it you keen to hang around to interact with the last step for each image.
You could also write you own export script that would not need human intervention to use instead of Adobe interactive script.
