Why is Save to Web greatly increasing my image size?

Hi! I am starting with a 6 inch by 6 inch 600 pixel TIFF image. When I use Save to Web to create a JPEG, it decreases pixels to 72 which is what I want--but the image size of the new file shows as like 20 inches by 20 inches. I know that the original is untouched. Should I be ignoring the image size here? Here is my concern. I want the viewer to see the complete image. Is Save to Web truly jumping up the image size here? If I email myself the image---I do see the whole picture. I am concerned that the new file says 20 inches by 20 inches. Will a recipient be receiving a 20 inch by 20 inch file that might not be viewable on their screen. Hope this makes sense--confusing to me! I have read a few websites that say when using Save to Web just focus on the pixels--not on the image size. Why is image size showing as much bigger than original? Thanks!!!

SaveForWeb is just removing the resolution value (600), and the image loads at the default (72).
Web browsers don't care about resolution, just the number of pixels - which remains the same.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

How to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto?

Dear All
I have pics i took with my phone which is not an iphone, just little sony ericsson phone.
Is there a way to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto please? Or cheap 3rd party software or shareware perhaps?
thank you very much.

iPhoto has no way to do that. You'll need an external editor for the job. Not all have the capability. I know Photoshop has.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Why is that saving as PDF increase the file sizes?

Hola
I've been notice that when I save a file as PDF, in CS5 it increase the file size to double that before.
Even saving it with the same setting than before.
For example, most of my Business Card file that I sent to print, use to be 1.5 or so megabytes
Now if I open the same file, --or a new file-- and save it, it will increase it to double that size
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hola and Thanks for your help
Ok, I've been using Photoshop since version 6 or so (around year 2000)
Just upgrade to CS5
Before, for example, I'll make a file in PS, merge the layers, open a new file whit the same dimensions, resolution etc,
and save this file as PDF to send to printers.
Tthe file(s) that I have or were create them in CS4, than saved as PDFs have a file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes as average.
The NEW files (in the same sequence) that I create now, have an average of 3 Mbytes
Even do, I save them with the same --I believe-- setting in PDF
There's may be a new feature in PDF save dialogue box that I'm not getting?
or, it just more information that it is put into?
Thanks

Action to save for web leaves too large file size

HI
In earlier versions of Photoshop I could create an action to batch save photos for the web, setting them to save as 600 by 400 and they would end up about 70kb. I could also stop the action and adjust the file size to a set size. With CS3 no matter what I do the files always end up about 500kb!!!
Is this a bug in CS3 or do I have to do something different?
I have to put the files on my old computer to run the action still in Photoshop 7
thanks for any help.

I tried to create a 1 pixel blank and it wouldn't save it, I tried a 5 pixel blank, still wouldn't save it so used the Save As and got a 40kb jpg file. Ran the Action and it ended up as 76kb.
Created a 30 pixel blank square and it ended up 40kb too.
Get info on the files reveals the stated file size is correct.
I created and ran the same action on my son's intel iMac running CS3 and the same result. Tried a tiff instead of a jpg and it ended up even bigger. When paused at the Save for Web window, it says the original file is about 800 kb (the reduced size to 600 by 400 from the original image) and it predicts the final web size will be about 65 to 75kb as it should be, depending on the image. But always ends up about 500kb.
Going through the process manually produces the correct result.
This is getting rather frustrating!!!!!
Would someone be able to try creating the same action on their intel mac running CS3?
All I am doing is reducing the size of say a 3000 by 2000 pixel image to 600 by 400 pixels, applying a very small amount of unsharp mask, then saving for the web to about 70kb. I have the original images in one folder on my desktop and another folder to place the converted files into.
thanks for any more help anyone can offer.

"Save for web and devices" making images saturated

I have been using the "save for web and devices" option for quite some time but suddenly it has started to make all images very saturated compared to the actual file. I made no changes to the output settings or the color management settings. Even when I change those sttings it makes no difference. The image is saturated no matter what. Any idea what's going on? I am about ready to uninstall and reinstall the software in hopes that it will make the problem go away, but I'm hoping there is an easier fix. Thank you

These are my settings. Are they the same in your SFW dialog?

How to Increase disk image size of SAM

Hello,
I am trying to increase the disk image size. I am trying to increase to about 6G, but SAM just refused to load the image.
So, is there a limit in SAM about the virtual disk size? Or is it limited to the physical memory of the system?
I have read the thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5239257&tstart=30 and http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=837&threadID=5286038 about enlarging the disk image.
I am using OpenSparc T2 Arch 1.2 and the int12 boot bundle. I am wondering if I should change to the sasdisk for a try.
It is strange, that I previously ran the simulator on a Solaris Express (actually 5.11), and it worked fine.
But now I changed to the Solaris 10, then it failed.
Thank you.
Jim

As it turns out, the way to make the image appear larger on the page is to edit and increase the size of the signature "box" on the pdf (under Forms > Add or Edit Fields), to considerably larger than the form might indicate. Otherwise, the signature is constrained to the just the size of the small field on the pdf. Interestingly, as soon as you do so, the signature appears "bolder", likely just because there is more of it. Thanks for your suggestions!

Feature Request - If a Save to PSD fails because of image size, offer to Save to PSB

Feature request — If a save to a PSD aborts when the file size grows beyond 2 GB, offer to save the file as a PSB instead of just displaying an error message and quitting. Better yet, if the image is to big to begin with, make the offer before starting the save operation. Similarly, if an image is too large to save to TIFF, offer to save it as a PSD or PSB.
When you’re working on large files, it would be nice not to have to redo a Save as a Save As to PSB after several minutes delay.
BTW, I tried without success to post this at the feedback site. Once again, a dialog opened asking for a verification code that would be sent to me by e-mail, which in past attempts has never arrived.

Not a bad idea, though really what would be even better is if other 3rd parties would embrace the PSB format so we could just use PSB for everything and leave PSD behind. There's almost no difference in size. Here's the same file saved in both formats:
C:\TEMP>dir egb.ps*
Volume in drive C is C - NoelC4 SSD
Volume Serial Number is 00ED-C11E
Directory of C:\TEMP
06/30/2012 01:04 PM 1,411,420 EGB.psb
06/30/2012 12:14 AM 1,397,248 EGB.psd
In my case, I don't send PSDs to anyone, they just represent archives of my master work, and I will always have a modern version of Photoshop to read them with. So if I could I would just use PSB for all master files. Problem is, two 3rd party tools I like to use don't currently handle it:
IrfanView
FastPictureViewer Codec Pack
Probably some day in the future they'll work. I encourage you to write to the people whose tools you'd like to see be able to read PSB to implement support.

I can't figure out why my "Save for Web" is grey.

My pic is 450px by 450px at 73 ppi in RGB. I have always been able to save as a png or gif for my website work on my other older version of protools. What could this be caused by???

One reason could be that your image mode is 32-bit. ??
If so, Image > Mode > 8-bits.

Is it possible to scipt "save for web" in a specific file size?

The question says it all.
i want to automatisate the last step of my work.
it needs to save my work as a jpg in a specific folder with a maximum file size (82kb) ...
how can i achieve this step?
Thanks for you help

I wanted to get snarky about doing a Forum Search before posting, because I have the feeling this has been treated more than once … but I can’t currently find the threads, either.
As far as I can tell the task requires saving, checking the resultant file’s size, if it offends save again with different settings, check … until the requirement is met.

Save for Web & Devices always says image too big ?

Every time I invoke this function in CS5 Windows 64 bit, it says the image exceeds the size the tool was designed for. Usually these are shots from my Nikon D300 so about 4000x3000 pixels. The tool still works but the dialog pops up every time

SFW, in order to make the previews and display an expected file size, is actually saving a temp file as a GIF, JPG, PNG, whatever. This temporary preview can take time if you throw a large image at it before entering a value for smaller image dimensions. So Adobe throws a warning at the user to squelch obscene ambitions.

Apps greatly increasing in file size each time I open them. How do I stop this?

Right now, I have about 500MB available on my iPhone 4. I ran out of space and deleted all my photos (about 170), and that took me from 0MB to over 700MB. And by just using my phone like I normally would, I've lost over 200MB of space over the past couple hours. I haven't downloaded more apps or anything.
My apps are just taking up more storage every time I open them. For example, my Facebook app was taking up 160MB when I looked a few minutes ago. I opened Facebook and immediately went back to check my usage. It went from 160 to 170MB. Some of my apps go up by 20MB just from opening them and closing them back out. I've had my phone for about a year and a half and nothing like this has happened. At this rate, I will run out of storage tomorrow.
If it matters, I have not updated to iOS 7. I have tried turning my phone off and back on. What can I do to fix this problem?

How to increase the image size of a digital signature

No matter how large large I sign a piece of paper or how large a graphic file I use, or the format I save it as (PNG, PDF, JPG), when I go to actually place my signature in a signature box, the resulting image is tiny, as well as not terribly bold. One, how do I increase the size of how my scanned signature appears? And two, how do I make it appear more bold? Thank you for your help.

As it turns out, the way to make the image appear larger on the page is to edit and increase the size of the signature "box" on the pdf (under Forms > Add or Edit Fields), to considerably larger than the form might indicate. Otherwise, the signature is constrained to the just the size of the small field on the pdf.

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.
Paul

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...
