Suddenly save for web size limit?

Suddenly save for web wont allow me a 100% save,
only 42.5% upper limit?????????
Thanks anyone

Let's go for a general Prefs Reset
Press and hold Cmd - Opt - Shift immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.

  • Help: Sudden save for web error in CS6

    Hi everybody
    Everything was peachy until yesterday evening – now (morning after) I started my computer, and suddenly 'Save for web' doesn't work anymore. When choosing 'Save for web' in the menu, the 'Save for web' window opens just fine, but no matter which settings I choose or change, as soon as I click the save-button, I get the following error: 'Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occured.'
    I have not changed any settings since yesterday, I did not update either Photoshop or the system, and I tried restarting both Photoshop and the computer several times – no effect. I deleted Photoshops prefs, again no effect. I've seen people post their system-info, if you need to see that, I put it here
    I'm on a MacPro, 10.8.2, with Photoshop Extended 13.0.4 (as part of CS6 Premium), x64
    I also have CS4, CS5 and CS 5.5 on this machine, and  just tested Photoshop 5.1 (12.1), and here 'Save for web' works just fine.
    I can see from other posts in the forum that I'm not the only one with this problem, but I could not find an answer or solution to this.
    Please help – I have a lot of work to do (involving 'Save for web'), and I can do that in an older version of Photoshop, but I shouldn't have to fall back on that, after having payed for and installed CS6.
    Thanks in advance
    Hans *troubled*

    Delete the Save for Web prefs. On Windows this is in
    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Save For Web AI\16.0
    On Mac it's in
    User:Hans:Preferences:Adobe
    and so on.

  • CS5's save for web size preview is lying to me. Help!

    So I just downloaded Photoshop CS5. For my work I need to save images through the Save for Web and I need to save it at a certain file size as a jpg. I change the percentage to get it just at right size (75K or 25K) and then hit save. Then when I look at what I have just saved its way bigger than the preview claimed it would be. Like 10K-20K larger. I've unchecked the metadata but it still happens. (I even think it getting worse, but that could be because I am frustrated) How can I get the preview size displayed to be accurate?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Mac.

  • CS6 Save for Web image size limit (Retina)

    I have been designing for a lot of mobile sites these days, in particular: iphone retina display (640w).  Most of the time these designs can be long in the tooth with the height of these documents - exceeding 8000 pixels at times.  I noticed that 8000 pixels is the threshold limit for the "save for web" export.  Anything greater than 8000 pixels will be downgraded in quality on retina devices by scaling the image.  The jpg will still be the correct height and width, but when viewed on an iphone, you can easily see the degradation.   Images and text are blurry.  This is no bueno when trying to show a client what their site will look like on an iphone.
    So my question is, is there a work around?  A preference to be changed?  Am I missing something to get the full quality of my design comp in order to preserve retina display quality?

    Justin, what about your screenshot that I'm posting here:
    You posted that as an example of SFW downsizing to 78% to make its output be no taller than 8192 px, resulting in a width of 500 px. The iPhone will scale a 500 px wide image to make it fit the screen's 640 px width.
    And my CS6 SFW set to progressive JPEG (or anything else) refuses to allow a dimension to be greater than 8192 px. Here's the message when I try to make it larger:
    Likewise, the scale percentage cannot be made greater than the value which produces a dimension of 8192 px.
    Anyway, I'm glad you found a solution.

  • Objects outside doc size not showing in Save for web

    Hi there guys,
    For no apparent reason Ai CS3 started to hide elements outside the document size when saving for web. It was working perfect this morning but then it stopped. I have tried may documents, checked for crop marks, trim marks, clipping masks but I can't figure out what's wrong. I know I can make the document size bigger but this will slow me down a bit. Does anyone know why this is happening? Why I can't see the elements outside the doc's boundaries when I save for web? Let me know if I wasn't clear enough.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Dan

    You, you are my savior, Jesse!!! You, you are! Man, I was going nuts with this. I guess I must've checked it accidently. Well, new trick learned here. Thanks a million.

  • Image Byte size in "Save for Web"-Dialog is wrong?

    The Image Byte size in the finder is always larger than the size stated in Photoshop's "Save for Web"-Dialog box. For example, it shows me 34,36 KB in the SfW-Dialog, while the file information in Finder puts out "38,831 KB". Does anybody know how to fix this annoying behaviour?
    kind regards,
    tomasio

    The size reported in the Finder can be in base 1000 (lying numbers used by disk makers) instead of base 1024 (actual bytes) if you don't change the settings.
    The size reported in the Finder can include the resource fork (metadata and thumbnails, some added by the OS), plus some extra space for disk block allocations (if you write 1 byte to a file, it still takes 4k or more of disk space).
    The size given in SFW is a close estimate of the actual number of bytes written to the disk, and usually matches the size reported by FTP and the web server (sometimes the estimate is off by a little bit due to the final compression options chosen).
    But SFW cannot account for the oddities of the Finder or Windows Explorer's accounting of file size.

  • Save Image size setting in Save for Web

    I'm using Save for Web (CS3) and scaling the file to different sizes with "scale image". I'm wanting to use the same scale settings for many images but when I save the pre-set the image size settings don't get saved. I'm wanting to use it as part of an action but the setting wont stick. Any suggestions? Alternative work flows?

    That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

  • Save for Web isn't using the correct size of artboard

    I've been using CS5 for about 5 days now and have just run into this problem.
    My artboard is 800x600 px.  I have 6 layers of an animation I need to export as pngs so I can manipulate them in Imageready (yes, I still use it.)
    I Save for Web, export as CSS layers, original size is 800x600 px, new size is 800x600 px (I don't touch those settings), art optimized and clip to artboard is checked.
    But when I Save and check my files, not only are they 550x90 (the size of the art on the artboard) but they're cut off on the right side.  It's like Illustrator is saving them as actual size, registared to 0,0 (top right corner) of my artboard.
    I need to save my layers using save for web so I can drag them into other animated files in Imageready.  I need them at 800x600 px because that's the size of my final art and it's easy to center a lot of layers if they're all the same size.
    I can post image files if my question doesn't make sense.

    UPDATE:
    I've been experimenting.  My artboard is 800x600 px.  I have 2 layers.  My artwork is 900x700 on both layers.
    I Save For Web with Clip to Artboard checked.
    I save a jpeg and my file is 800x600.
    I save a png and my file is 800x600. 
    I save as png and check Export As CSS Layers and my 2 layers are 900x700.  This ONLY seems to happen with the Export as CSS Layers checked.
    Also, I use File->Export->PNG and check Use Artboards and my file is 800x600.
    I use File->Export->JPEG and check Use Artboards and my file is 800x600.
    I use File->Export->BMP but I can't check Use Artboards, it's greyed out and uncheckable.  Huh?  I need to export my image as a BMP at 800x600.
    I don't understand what I'm missing here.

  • Save For Web vs. Resizing vs. File Size vs. PNG

    In playing around with some settings while saving a .png file, I noticed some weird results. For this example, the original image is 300 x 300, but I want the final size to be 200 x 200. I get different results depending on the order I perform the following operations (I never thought the order mattered until now).
    1. start with 300 x 300 image, choose save for web, select png-24, with transparency, white matte, convert to sRGB, change image size to 200 x 200, then save - the file size is 37kb
    2. start with 300 x 300 image, use Photoshop's "image size" to change to 200 x 200, then save for web, etc - the file size is 111kb
    So depending on which step I resize the image, the file size is significantly different - if I resize BEFORE using save for web, the file size is much larger. This is just weird to me, but I always resize AFTER choosing save for web, so that's why I've never caught this until now. In case you ask, while using Photoshop's "image size", all three options are checked at the bottom of that window, so nothing is getting re-sampled or anything like that.
    The only thing I can think of is each of those methods treat pixel data differently when reducing the dimensions. When I overlay both exported .png files on top of each other, I see no difference in pixel quality and/or color shift - so why the big difference in file size? Unsurprisingly, if I just save the file straight to .png, the sharpness is much better, and the file size is 46kb. I did notice when saving for web, the colors become a little more saturated.
    Are all these results typical? I've never really paid much attention to the results when exporting .png's. I always thought the results were lossless (in general).

    Too many variables
    What? There are 2 variables here (variables = scenarios = steps). Only two different operations.
    1. resize the image, THEN use "save for web" = 91kb
    2."save for web", THEN change image size = 157kb
    Hopefully my logic translates here:
    All other settings are the same. I even made sure the .psd was sRGB this time. The specific question was "why does the different workflow order produce such a big difference in file size"?
    In creating a new test file (http://www.shan-dysigns.com/userForums/photoshop/savePNG.zip), I did notice an interesting thing: (I'm including my files in case you want to follow along or test for yourself)
    If I merge all layers BEFORE performing the steps above, the file sizes were relatively closer to one another - 168kb and 157kb (respectively from the 1, 2 list above)
    One thing to note is all the .psd layers are either shapes or text - this whole scenario may be totally different if each layer had rasterized content (actually, it does, by about -20kb).
    The file size in step 1 above didn't jump until it had to consider rastered text/shapes into the calculation. So all this tells me the difference in file size has to do with how each process handles vector data. Maybe when you allow PS to resize the image first, the overall file size is smaller because the vector data gets recalculated???
    I don't know how to properly interpret all these differences, but I do know there is something about PS's operation of resizing the canvas with vector data versus resizing the canvas with rasterized data - this has to be where the difference in file size lies.
    Maybe I've just wasted a bunch of time on the obvious, but I think I learned something here. Now my head hurts and my eyes have popped out of my head.
    So, Chris, I guess there ARE more variables in this situation. My curse is being nosey and wanting to know more technically about PS than most casual designers probably would care about.

  • Save for web&.... the image exceeds the size for ....issue with AI on imac i7

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from using macbook Pro to Imac inte core i7 with 4GB. I use illustrator CS3 for high resolution documents i.e saving a Design for say maybe saving for iphone &ipod skin; a quality jpg that is 1300px(width) by 2000px(height.
    General information
    The issue is I keep getting the pop up with:
    The image exceeds the size Save for Web was designed for. You may experience out of memory erros and slow performance. Are you sure you want to continue?
    I click yes, but get another pop up with:
    Could not complete this operation. The rastarized image exceeded the maximum bounds for save for web.
    And last weekend after NOT being able to save anything I went and bought 16GB memory thinking that this ussue would be solved, but nada.
    I have researched around here and google only to find about scratch disk: went to preferences then to plug-ins and scratch Disks -I seem NOT to get to the bottom of this at all.
    And this morning I was trying to create a pattern Design and could not even get the design on the color swatches as I have done before with macbook pro with 4GB -IT'S NOT FUN, because I am NOT doing it right. Do you care to help me out?
    Thanks a whole bunch in advance

    Are you including a color profile?  What metadata are you including with it?
    How many pixels (h x v)?
    50 kb is not all that big.  Does your image have a lot of detail in it?  Content can affect final compressed size.

  • How to Save for Web in the correct size?

    So i created a new project in Illus. CS5 with an artboard size of 700x150 pixels. I have two graphics in there that are about 215 pixels tall so part of it flies off the artboard, but i have a clipping part that hides all the parts that i dont want to see.
    The problem is when i go to Save for Web, the ouput image is 700x215 because it includes the space used by the graphics, that fly off the board, but you dont even see it. I was able to get around this by opening the file in photoshop and then cropping to 700x150 so the extra space is removed, but there should be a way to save this in Illus. without the hassel.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    Thanks, that worked. I figure there was a setting in there somewhere and was even in the right tab, but didnt think to click on that.

  • Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

    I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

    Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

  • Huge file size with Save for Web but preview is ok

    Hi,
    I have googled but not found anything about this but I have the same problem on my computer and also on a colleagues computer so it seems it should not be totally unknown.
    This is what i do
    1 Open a eps file, one color logo, 72dpi, size it to 110x21
    2 save for web
    3 select png-24 format. preview says file size ~1.3 kB
    4 save -> actual file size on disk is 4 kB (ie 3 times bigger file size than it should be)
    5 Preview and then right click in browser + save image as gives correct file size (on my colleagues computer this does not work, he always gets the wrong size)
    I have also tried with gif and various settings, image sizes etc and the result is the same.
    I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit and Photoshop CS4.
    Is this a known problem?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply but i don't think that's it. When I check properties on the file in Windows it tells both "Size" and "Size on disk", where the latter is actual size on disk (depending on cluster size) but the size I am talking about is the first one.
    Also just to be clear, when I say Preview, I mean clicking the Preview button that opens the file in a browser window. Not the preview within the Save for Web and Devices dialog. So I think this file is correctly created and *should* be the same as if I click Save (but it obviously isn't)
    This sounds very much like a bug to me, anyone else who have seen this or can recreate?
    Thanks

  • How do I change the image size in Save for Web?

    I just upgraded to Illustrator CS6 on a PC.  I try to save my graphic in Save for Web and want to alter the image size, but it won't change,  it just goes back to the original size.  If I change the percentage box, the values change.  I have tried linking and unlinking the proportions and nothing.  What am I missing??  I don't have time to guess the percentage to get to the exact width I need. 

    Make changes in the Image Size section of the Save for Web. Input new values in Width and press Tab key to move to Height field. Click on the Link icon to unconstrain proportions. As you press the Tab key again to go out of focus of the Width and height boxes, you will see the changes reflect inside the Save for Web window. If this doesn't work then make sure you have updated Ai to 16.0.1 or 16.1.0 depending on the type of installation (from Disc or from Creative cloud) respectively.

  • CS4 Save For Web not the right size

    I'm having problems with Illustrator images when I use the Save For Web. The image size always comes out the same size as my artboard. In other words I set up a new document to be letter size, create my drawing within that document. My drawing is only about 300 px by 150 px. When I Save for Web my image is the same size as the document or artboard not my drawing. Is this something new in CS4? Do I have a preference set incorrectly? The only way I have found to get rid of the background is to adjust the size of the artboard manually. Is there a way to adjust the artboard to fit my drawing automatically, like cropping to an object in Photoshop?
