Thumbnail images corrupt after saving for web

I am working with CS2.
Whenever I choose "Save For Web," the thumbnail preview on the desktop doesn't show the full image. Half of it is grey. This only happens when I choose save for web. Sometimes if I single-click the thumbnail, the entire image appears. But most of the time, it stays half grey. I'd appreciate any help on this, since it's been going on for a year now, and re-installing didn't help.

Save For Web generates an icon of the image on both my home Mac and work Mac. I've changed the preferences in PS to "Never Save" Image Previews. That has done nothing. So maybe it is an OS glitch, but I can't find anything to change. And again, this only happens when I choose Save for Web.

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

Add exif-data while / after saving for web?

I use "save for web" quite often. However; i would like to add some exif-data to the picture after it is saved. Is there any way to do this with JavaScripting in Photoshop (CS3) ?

There are limits to the kind of exif data that you can alter in an image. Most
of it can't be touched. You need to use an external app like Bridge or exiftool:

CS4: get file name after saving for web

Hello,
I am saving a file via "save for web" with a specific file name in a specific folder maybe with a specific resolution (width x height) entered directy within this dialog window.
Is it possible to get this path and the optionally changed resolution via Adobe script (after saving the file; or starting the script just before "save for web")?
Thanks a lot!
Carlos

I don't see anyway to get the user's options from the SaveForWeb dialog. The descriptors for both charIDToTypeID( "Expr" ) and charIDToTypeID( "Mn " ) are empty.
But you can use the DOM to sfw. Below is a function to save jpg using sfw.
function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
   sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
   sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
   sfwOptions.interlaced = false;
   sfwOptions.optimized = true;
   sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //0-100
activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);
Look up ExportOptionsSaveForWeb in the scripting guide for other formats.
You would have to do the resize as an extra step when saving using the DOM.

Photoshop PNGs saved for web in CS3 v.10 still are not transparent in iWeb 08 2.0.4

I have read the topics and tried the tricks and still have black backgrounds on my photoshop graphics. After saving for web & devides as png8 with transparency I have a checkerboard pattern behind my graphic. I am using the magic wand tool, selecting the emptiness/checkerboard behind, then choosing to select the inverse, the ctrl c, then ctrl v in iWeb
Thanks for any help.

When you use the Save For Web or Devices be sure to click on black in the pallet and then on the transparent "button" just below the pallet before saving as a png file.

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.

Colour problems after exporting for web

Hiya
I'm struggling with a colour issue on a website I've recently designed.
The original design was done in Photoshop CS3 and includes a think purple band at the top of the page (http://www.deliciouscafe.co.uk/index.html). After slicing up the design and then 'saving for web and devices', the purple changes - it appears less dense and should really be a much deeper shade.
Not sure if i'm using the wrong export method. I've tried jpeg, png and gif format but nothing seems to make a difference, however I've not tried changing any of the other settings in the save for web and devices dialog box so was wondering if something there would help?
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Convert (don't assign) the color profile of your images to be sRGB.
When saving for web, be sure to include the ICC color profile for sRGB.
Don't mix GIF andd JPG when you are trying to maintain consisten color. Use the same format. (background.gif has a purple that may not match quote.jpg)
Web color is a mess, especially on Mac. The steps above are the best you can do.

Can't change image size % in save for web

Hello,
I'm using Photoshop CC. When slicing a web mockup, and saving for web, the image percent is blocked at 58.49% and I am not able to increase it to 100%. So my original image of 1024px wide comes out at 600px
I haven't changed any settings (that I know of) and do not have this problem on any other mockup files I have. What setting do I need to adjust in order to save for web my slices at 100%?
Thanks!

I worked out what the issue was, my document height was over 8000px tall which is causing the issue, even though my slices are less than 2000px tall. When I temporarily crop the document to below 7000px, I can save out the slices at 100%. Annoying work around.
It seems a bit random.

How can I get PS CC to always load my preferred Preset while saving for web output?

For my purposes, I'd prefer to save all JPEGs at 100% quality while saving for web output. I've made a preset as seen below.
However, PS doesn't always defer to this setting when I begin saving an image for web. Is there a way to make this preset automatically
load every time I open the output to web process? I process a large number of images, and if I could avoid correcting this it would save me a lot of time.
I'm using PS CC on a PC. Any help will be appreciated!

This is the only custom preset I've made with this particular system. So I'd need to delete the pre-loaded PS presets?
I'm a little loathe to remove the options in case they might be needed in the future or for a task other than the primary one described.

Signature Scribble field not retaining image file after saving

I have 2 issues with my PDF dynamic file I sent out
1) The add/remove controls is adding a random amount of extra blank rows upon saving the PDF
2) The image files selected for the Signature Scribble field is not retaining the image file after saving. It also doesn't give an opportunity to actually draw in a signature.
I even tried to use the Subform Instance Controls Insert/Remove/Move in my table, but I keep receiving the error "You have reached the maximum number of items allowed"
I would appreciate any help you can give me! I have been farting around with this for too long.
Thanks!

Thanks Pat. Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped. Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well. Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC. When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash. I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE). Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read. I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented. Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process. I do not look to see what the updates have been. I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

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.

What is the best way to keep high res when saving "for web"

the files i'm saving for web so i can get them in jpg (or gif) format are coming out very pixelated. this is when i print the image.
what is the best way to save for web an image and keep the resolution good.
using for a business card template. avery template will let me attach images i want to the project. to do this.. i "get file from computer" and it drops the image in but real small... then you are supposed to enlarge it onto your work however you want. well when i enlarge this image file, it gets pixelated badly. i'm thinking it's the way i'm saving it. i do not adjust anything when i save. maybe i should. this is where i need guidance.
this is what avery template notes about the images i am allowed to use - When uploading the image, the maximum size allowed is 4 MB. You can only upload JPG and PNG images either as RGB or CMYK. so when you recommend things, can you please keep this in mind
thank you for oyur time.

Aida,
When you save with the default template using save for web it is generally a very low settings.
While in the save window you can define the pixel size of the image you want with quality as well as resolution too.
Refer to tv.adobe.com video save for web or Adobe help file for detailed instructions.

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?

Saving for web preserving the metadata

I'm saving for web and want to preserve all metadata except camera info, but besides the camera info, it's not saving the description either. Is it right?
Actually, I only want to save copyright information, author, keywords and description, but there's not such option....
Anyone can help?
Thanks

If you don’t save your custom Presets like Brushes, Actions etc. at least every now and then … well, then losing them because of posssibly corrupted preferences might be a learning experience.
Anyway, the preferences may not be the problem at all, trashing them is simply a trouble shooting routine that may or may not help in your case.
The sfw-preferences should, if I’m not mistaken, be at
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web CS5/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS5 Prefs
