CS6 Question w/save for Web, do not use the Document DPI

I'm creating an Action where I take a document large PSD format (photography) and change the size of the image at 72 DPI and 1000 pixels on the long side of the photo. If the action flattens the image and then modified the image 72 DPI and 1000 pixels on the longest side. The Action then runs thru photo save for Web, while this does not reduce the file size and it creates the appropriate pixel dimensions, it does not recognize the change DPI and delivers the original document of 360 DPI.

I can take the same image, resize the image at 72 DPI and 1000 pixels on the longest side and then "save under" a jpg file. This always creates a 72 DPI jpg. What gives save for Web?

The PPI figure is stored as metadata. If the Metadata in SFW parameter is set to 'All' the 360 PPI is preserved.

So any setting less than 'All' will throw the Print metadata and set a default value of 72 DPI.

  • Save for web is not defined at 72 dpi

    For some strange reason PSCC stopped to change the resolution of the images at 72 dpi when you use 'save for web' legacy. Just keep the image at the same resolution that he began.

    Anyone got a fix?

    Anyone know of a different method in PSCC change dpi images without changing its dimensions?

    Thank you

    Charlotte

    Perhaps the problem is that you have the 'All' value that respects the value of the ppi in the file when you use save for Web to metadata.

    Set it to 'None' or a setting lower than 'all '.

    Conversely, if you want to use SFW and keep your ppi 300, the value 'All' setting or it will default to 72.

    72 DPI refers to the old Mac screen resolution and is a basic rule for web developers, even if 114 or 226 is more common these days.

    72 for Mac and for Windows 96 were common monitor resolution standards in the 1990s.

  • "Save for Web" did not remember to save file

    Hi guys,.

    I use registration to web feature to save a large number of files (not batch save).

    Usually, when I open a file and start saving for the web, he forget not the folder that I recently exported to and by default, open this folder for this file until I have 'save for web' in a different folder.

    Out of nowhere apparently, save it for the web seems to "forget" this folder (and any other folder, I tried to save to) and now by default in the 'Documents' folder, causeing me have to click to access find my desired destination folder.

    Any ideas? Google did not help on this one, I can't seem to find someone with a similar problem.

    I'm on CS5 & Mac running Mountain Lion. On my work computer (exactly the same, Mac + Mountain Lion), I use CS6 and have not encountered this problem.

    I think it's a question of OS.

  • When the batch of save for Web, Illustrator also records the .ai file copy

    This question has been asked and abonadoned here, so I write because it also happens to me.

    CS4 and CS5 (I tried both), Mac OS 10.6

    1. I select action 'Save for Web PNG', which is part of the package by default, and select "batch".

    2. I choose a source folder and choose a destination folder and check "Override Action"Save"commands."

    3 illustrator then performs the backup of Web action, but puts the .png files in the destination of origin specified in the action. It also puts copies of .ai files in the destination folder, I have created and specified in the batch dialog box.

    I want the .png files in my folder, and I don't want copies of .ai files.

    Pulling my hair out on this one, go to lunch. Thanks in advance for any help

    See screenshot below. Should do what you want.

  • 'Save for Web' vector adapts to the bigger than the jury of art?

    Heya,

    In the past, if I wanted a vector drawing to save for Web to a different size I create a new Council of art to a larger size, copy the drawing and it intensified. Then save for web, this new work plan.

    However I have noticed that I can increase the Save for the size of the Web image at greater than the size of the artboard - this automatically to vector drawings scale? Or he will zoom just in a raster image?

    It seems scaling vectors, which is great and will allow me to save a lot of time, but I wanted to check?

    Thank you

    Theo,

    You get as well a raster by definition x pixel image size in pixels in the window to the size of the Image.

    This is also where you can check Art (or Type, whichever is more relevant) optimized.

  • Remote Desktop for Mac will not use the printer driver

    On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

    I installed the printer on the server and removed several times without alteration. When 'Use a printer connected to the Mac' is selected in the preferences of the DRC the printer is a printer that is redirected, but the use of the driver of HP. Printing from Mac works with all the features.
    On the server, we have 3 installed roles, file, desktop Services to remote and Web server (IIS) Services
    We have tried to map the printer with an EPSONRedirect.INF file that contains the following:
    ; EPSONRedirect.INF
    ; Printer mapping file for drivers side client-side Server
    [Printers]
    "EPSON TM - T20" = "EPSON TM - T20 ReceiptJ4"
    No idea how we can fix this?

    Hello

    I suggest you to post the question on the following link:

  • How can I reduce the size of the Solution Explorer window when you save a web page by using the Page save (Ctrl + S)?

    Save the Page (Ctrl + S) used to open a small window of the Explorer (Windows 7 OS). All of a sudden (after update for FireFox 37.0.1), it opens a window of browser enlarged (full screen). The passage of the mouse on the window edge, arrows a size change appear, but do not meet the drag. How make the window smaller, or reset the Page save (Ctrl + S) so that it opens a small window again?

    You can open the system menu of the window selector to file via Alt + space to check if the window is not maximized?

  • Save for Web Action which keeps the size of the specific image

    I need to create an action recording for a 850 web x 655px.

    When testing my action for the first time, it shows in the Save as dialog box, the image has been reduced to this size as a percentage. If it works well.


    However, when you test the action on an image of different original report, it still reduces the percentage that had been recorded, rather than just to save the image to the 850 x 655, which gives me a different image size.

    Anyone know how I can keep the size of the image of 850 x 655 every time?

    Thank you

  • To optimize the size of the file will not work properly in save for web (CS6)

    I make layouts for digital designers who must be less than 250 KB. For a few months, when I try to save my pages of tiff in a smaller size, using the Save for web and optimization of the size of the file box Photoshop no longer works correctly.  Files are often 100 francs more grand than the target k 250 KB. Data in the lower corner of the screen corresponds to the k target but the recorded real this file too large.

    Thanks for the help.

    In the Web dialog box, do you have the metadata one value other than None?

    Which could explain the difference in size.

  • Some colors change from Photoshop CS6 save for web?

    I have a picture with great color surface: #fffdfd, when I save for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG format).

    I just can't save as jpg with #fffdfd.

    (was trying to uncheck convertir convert to sRGB, don't embed color profile - always #fffdfd becomes #fefcfd when save for web)

    However, the #fefcfd color when save for web, does not change.

    Why some colors and some not? Is this a bug?

    Window7 64 bit, Photoshop CS6

    Save for devices & Web will remove some color from the file data.

    Browsers are not color management. Most of the formats of file on browsers assume they are sRGB. While Photoshop gives you the possibility of incorporation sRGB color space of a document, it also strips data that are not relevant. It is a common phenomenon.

    PNG - 24 on the other hand will give you the exact color matching.

    In addition, save for W & D, JPG quality questions a lot - the same color quality 10,20,30,40, 50... 100 wil give you reproductions different colours on the output end JPG.

    If you are concerned that much on an offset of +/-1 hexadecimal value of RGB color space, do not save for web & devices. Do a "Save as" instead. Then use an image editing / application like ResizeMe resizing to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain information colourspace but just drop the resolution and quality of the image, giving you a smaller size.

    On a sidenote, you can also read this article on how to better manage the color spaces: http://viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift

  • When saving a photo, the colors do not transfer correctly (they are dull) unless I have "save for web".  But when I save it for the web, it reduces the DPI up to 72 or 96 at best.  So I have to take the extra step to resize the image at 300 dpi, m

    When I "save under" I lose my color settings.  They are not more dynamic.  When I use save for web and maintaining devices, the colors, but PGD is only 72.

    This is because if you have not defined in all metadata option, you lose 300 ppi print metadata and file takes the default value of web metadata. 96 for Windows or the Mac 72.

    Set your metadata at all SFW, and you'll keep the printer to 300 dpi setting.  Oversampling a 72 ppi to 300 DPI file is very destructive and unnecessary.

    So just save your file again in SFW and simply select all as shown in the screenshot.

    Let me know how it went.

  • CC14 will not display patterns in save for Web

    I created an image that requires significant use of structuring. Whatever the halftone created using the plugin Phantasm, but which is expanded to the points. The rest is similar brick patterns that exist happily on the screen and the menu color chart.

    Y at - it a ceiling for the amount of detail can be shown in save for Web, and I found it? If I rasterize the model layers it displays correctly, but I at the exit of several executives, configurations, and the resolutions and don't want to have to remove the pixelation effects, whenever I need to make a change to the output.

    Thoughts? With the help of windows 8 on a fairly capable machine.

    Thank you!

    Edit: I also tried flattening of transparencies, that works to a certain extent, but I get a lot of aliasing and tiling misaligned in the model, when I try to save for web.

    SOLVED! Until the user error. Not proud to admit it, but when things are buried a few layers, it is often difficult to diagnose the problem. Went to dig deep and found him.

    Tile assets themselves at one point had changed to color mode mixture, although only at the surface of the ground, objects that were filled with this model were fixed as usual. I had not done that intentionally changed the blending mode, because it would not served a purpose, it must have happened by chance, perhaps when Eyedropping something else.

    Thus, while they show correctly on the artboard (white white), they would disappear when it came to saving for the web. I tried dragging bosses over different colors, and who warned me.

    Sorry if I wasted all the time, but if in the future someone has something that appears correctly in save for Web - digging deep, isolate the object and check your blend modes.

  • Save for Web function has stopped working in Photoshop CC - let's get a DEFINITIVE answer!

    I keep seeing this in the forums and nothing has answered this question, so I put another post on the forum.

    I am running Photoshop CC 64-bit in Windows 7. I've lived this exactly the same problem with Photoshop CS6 and was never able to solve the problem. Now I find that after using Photoshop CC for about a month, I'm going to save for Web and I get the error message: "the operation could not be completed. The system does not have the specified path. Motivated by nothing. Just randomly started to gush this error message Monday morning, and I had used the SFW function on all throughout the day on Friday.

    After that reading the forums and being on hold with Adobe supports for a half hour (with a "timeout of 3-4 minutes felt"), I was unable to reach anyone know what to do. Forum suggested other messages deleted the backup of the levels of preferences Web in AppData, what I've done. I also deleted all my preferences in Photoshop without result. The only step I've seen in the forums so far has been uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CC. Surely, there must be a better resolution that uninstall the program.

    Can I please a representative Adobe real to help with this? I see it all the time in the forums is of course not a rare event. Thank you.

    WHOO! After that 45 minutes of tech support from Adobe, we discovered the issue. I don't know if this could be the problem with the many others that I've seen on these forums, but I hope it helps someone.

    Seems the reason mine stopped was a simple permission problem. I use PS to work and the administrator did not have TOTAL control over my Adobe programs. It is fine... until there is an update to Windows or the system update. Then you have problems. Basically the admin just restored all permissions for me for Adobe software and VOILA! It worked perfectly. If you use the PS to work, talk to your system administrator and see about getting full permissions for Photoshop CC.

  • PS Elements 10 - MAC 'Save for web' broken?

    Just updated to 10 items PS... find now that 'save for web' will begin with the usual question confirming I want save for web, but then the Panel does not open. Nothing happens.

    First of all, save for web only works if you run from an admin account, unless you change the permissions on it. If you run from an administrator account, go to your username > library > Preferences and delete:

    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings

    and any exception Adobe Web prefs

    The user library folder is hidden in lion. To see, option-click on the menu go to Finder and it will appear below the small house for your user account.

    Repair permissions, and then try again.
