Whenever I try to save a picture for web, as soon as I click on "Save" Photoshop closes without any warning - just shuts down! I have no idea what is causing this problem as it's never happened before.

I've got a couple of actions that do various things and then as a last step do a "save as" (without a dialog). They work just fine on MOST images but on just a couple of images when they get to the "save as" step I get a dialog and the "as a copy" box is checked. It happens on the same images every time so it must be something about those particular images but I can't figure out what it is.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAt work, whenever I "save as" a jpg or tif or whatever, it just renames the extension. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work.jpg'. But when I work from home, whenever I "save as" it appends "copy" to the end, which I really hate. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work copy.jpg'. I know this is a trivial matter, but it puts an annoying kink in my workflow having to remove "copy" from the file name during my extremly frequent saves. I've tried to google this, but I'm at wit's end trying to find where the preference is hidden.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an older Graphire model Wacom tablet. With PS7 I had option to get a "magnified" pen movement mode where moving the pen across the full tablet moved the cursor on the screen only a small distance.
Was great for detail work. Now that I have upgraded to Vista and downloaded the new driver I can not seem to find that option. Am I not looking at right spot in Wacom setup, or is it not available with this combination?
I am attempting to execute a set of actions containing two "Save" commands. The first works fine while the second does not. (The destination folder is ignored and the file is saved in the same folder as the first Save.) The only difference I can see is that the second "Save" is modal and the other is not. The fact that the destination folder is contained in the action makes me think this ought to work and I'm missing something obvious.
I have a JPG of the action set but I can't see how to attach it....
I just upgraded to photoshop cs4 from cs2, and I noticed that a feature which I really, really loved is now gone, and that is the Use Adobe Dialog option in the open/save/save as file browser.
I don't see any option for this anymore...was it taken out in CS4 or CS3? Or is there an option to enable it that I'm just missing?
I design custom banners which include both text and images and have no problem saving my files as PSDs or PDFs as long as I stay under 96" wide.Â
The minute I go wider, CS4 no longer gives me all my normal options, instead it gives me TIF, PSB, Photoshop RAW, or DICOM.Â
I usually try to give my banner production house files that are not undersized as I don't want to have all the edges aliased and jaggy.Â
Especially photographic portions of the banner. Is there a size limitation with CS4 Photoshop regarding saving in "normal" file formats?Â
Typically I give my production house 300dpi PDFs and it works out great.
How do I change? If it would default to the last format and place saved would be what I want. Or at least let me change the default folder.

One thing that has concerned me and caused me a lot of headaches (and lost hair) over the last few years has been the seemingly erratic nature of file saving in Windows graphics programs.
As a Doshead I know directory structures quite well.
Yet often when I go to save a file in a desired folder they seem to get saved somewhere else and I have to run a search to find them which is a pain.
The past days my friend asked me how to remove the "save changes" question at the exit in Photoshop.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have hundreds of jpg files which I need to change their size.
The action I run is:
Image size 50%
Save
Quite easy but I need to save the file without asking the quality because in that way I have to stay behind the computer clicking ACCEPT every time it saves one.
I tried overriding and not overriding but in both cases it asks for "quality".
I've noticed when working in Photoshop CS, that everytime I save an image as a JPG for the web (by choosing "save for web"), that it REALLY desaturates the image WAY too much.
I don't know how to go about solving this -- I never encountered it in any of the other versions I've used.
I found an odd workaround though -- I do a screen capture of the image (automatically saved as a PDF of the image on my Mac), then I open the PDF of the screen capture up in Photoshop CS, then I SAVE TO WEB. ONLY THEN, does it reproduce accurately with NO desaturation.
I have a picture i took with my digital camera when i use photoshop to edit the size and everything and then when i wanna save for the web.. the colors come out slightly different.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work with virtual shoe samples made in Photoshop. I draw shoes in PS and make thousands of combinations of materials in colors, which mean thousands of layers as well.
I have then various sets of layers, each one a different combination, and many times I want to go back to a combination I used before; that is, make every layer of it visible again, something that takes lots of time when you have thousands of layers.
Every file is 300 MB, so I have no chance to save it again with that combination I need.
Basically, I need to find a way to save which layers are visible and invisible!
I was explaining to my sister how to use "save the web" but it turns out she has PS 4.0 and says she doesn't see that option anywhere.
Does anyone know where in PS 4 she would find this option or it's equivalent.
I go to do a Mosaic Tile, and PS locks up. I look at Task Manager ... doesn't say it's not responding ... just using 400,000 Kb of CPU or so. So, I've been waiting it out for at least 15 to 20 minutes. I can do stuff like surf and open other progs ... but PS is still thinking. how I can save my work that so desperately needs it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I click to implement action by a third party plugin (buZZ Pro 3) I get an error message -
"buzz error - cannot save to dat file".
If I click the only option - "OK" - the action proceeds correctly. I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me what the error message means. What is likely to be the problem if the buzz action is not being saved to a dat file? I am not clear what a dat file is.
This happened first when I was using CS3 and weirdly when I installed another plugin (Nik Sharpener) this corrected the buZZ problem and I stopped getting the buZZ error message. However, in CS4, installing Nik Sharpener did not sort out the buZZ problem. I have no idea why.
It's not the end of the world because I can still use the buZZ plugin but it's a nuisance - compounded by the fact that buZZ settings are not staying from one buZZ use to another. Perhaps this inability to keep the last settings used is related to a failure to save to a dat file.
I just discovered that in CS, when I click the "copy" button in the "save as" window, the file is NOT automatically labeled "copy" as it is in PS7. Is there a way to make this happen?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI needed to make a photo that was 7" x 9" for a frames I had. I have photoshop CS3. I started out by going to NEW and resizing width,height and resolution at 300ppi abd 16 bit. I colored the background blue and then made a 1" border around the background and then dragged over two pic that were sized 6" x 4". I resized them to fit nice using the shift/mouse and that gave me 3 layers. I flatened them and then stroked a black line around the images on the background. I went to "save as" and I tryed to save as a Jpeg but it did not give me that option. Only PDF, tiff, ex.... no Jpeg. so I saved as tiff thinking I could go back later to save it as Jpeg but no. So I started over and all I did was change the 16 bit to 8 bit. that gave me the jpeg format that I wanted. Can anyone tell me why bit is so inportant? or wasn't it that? I just don't know why it did what it did. I don't want to make that mistake again. I made 11 pics before having to start all over.

how to do the same optimization as "save for web" function does manually?
I currently purchase photoshop templates from a variety of sources, and customize them for my clients. The problem is.:
If I have text in photoshop, when I do a "save for web" and choose "all html and images", it saves any text as an image.
How do I make sure that when I save a .psd file for use on the web, it will automatically insert tables for me to put text into?
I am using the "Save for Web" function, and the jpeg conversion process is changing my color adjustments on it's own.

I would like a mist to cover the picture and then float away, and the water in the lake to "shimmer" or make it look as if it is "moving"...kind of like you were looking at a video clip, not a static picture.
Is this something I would do in any of the creative suite programs? or studio 8 programs? or is it something completely different.
I want to put a 4"x8' image into a 4"x6" space without too much distortion.

I try to Save For Web, the whole ap closes with no error message or anything. The optimization screen comes up as normal (where you select gif, jpg etc), but when I hit Save, the whole prog just disappears!
I've searched the forums and tried the following, with no success;
Resetting the Preferences file
Setting the Scratch Disc to D: (mine is a partitioned single physical drive)
Clean reinstall PS
Duplicating files and closing the original before renaming and saving them.
I'm running XP Pro, have 768 of RAM and using pretty modern machine - so I don't think it's a memory problem. I haven't installed SP2 but would rather leave this if necessary, cos I'm scared it'll interfere with something else.
PhotoShop fails to save PNG image - subsequent attempts to save write 0 byte files without error message. This has reproduced on two unrelated machines so far (it was reported to me by a friend, I tried his image, confirmed it, then tried to come up with a minimal reproduction.) This is pretty straightforward - create a blank image, 8-bit indexed color or greyscale at 800x992 pixels, then save as non-interlaced PNG. I'd be interested to know if it reproduces for anyone else (or if there is a known fix, I didn't see one when I searched). Steps to reproduce:-Start PhotoShop (CS2 version 9.0.2 here)-File->New-Set a resolution of 800x992 (this seems to matter!)-ColorMode grayscale (can do this now, or load or convert any picture to grayscale or 256 colors at exactly 800x992 pixels canvas size)-Hit okay-File->Save As...-Select type PNG (any filename)-Click Save-Select None for Interlace (does not crash on Interlaced mode)-Click Ok-Get "Could not save as [file] because of a program error. (As a secondary bug, if the filename is long enough this message is cut off.)
