Web Conversion

I was asked how i convert my images for the web here on this site to post . Here is the steps for a 900 pixel wide horizontal that is created with actions in PS. Than you can create one for a Vertical at 900 pixels tall. Credit here goes to Jack Flesher on this action which he created for me. I'm lazy. LOL

 

I also use save for web also and will do a screen capture on that also

For save for web that you can use in PS2 . Not there on the Beta yet for Cs3 i just realized.

 

I start with a normal image 16 bit and whatever profile I use

Guy, “save for web” is still there is CS3 beta at least in the Windows version, File -> Save for web and devices. Another reason it might not be appearing in your install is that perhaps you have not installed Device Central? They have coupled “save for web” with Device Central but the menu choice should appear in CS3.

If you want only one action for horizontal and vertical

you can use "Datei--->Automatisieren--->Bild einpassen" (sorry I don´t know how it´s called in the english version of photoshop).

 

In my action the longer side of the picture is 800 pixel and a very small black and a white frame will be created.

Bild einpassen is located here (Photoshop CS):

Here is the action, please rename to "Web.atn" (as it is not possible uploading files ending .atn)

Guy,

Pardon a dumb question for you.....do you have an image open in PS (CS3) when you are looking to File > Save for Web and Devices" ? If not, then it is greyed out in the menu.

 

Sorry if this sounds like a "D'oh" question, but I have caught myself with the same issue a number of times.

 

For those not aware of some of the other glitches in CS3, there is an ongoing list of them and potential fixes at:

Guy,

 

I know you have stated elsewhere that you prefer bicubic smoother for downsampling (you posted some samples showing some slight color differences) and that is what you have selected in your save for web example but I will point out that Jack's action uses bicubic sharper, in case you missed that.

You know i saw that after i posted it and I finally looked at his action. I am going to change that and rewrite it, i do prefer bicubic smoother . So if your doing the action yourself you may want to try it both ways because i do a little sharpening normally it is a very light touch on my part but i do sharpen a little. i know PS recommends sharpening but if you do some yourself i really don't want to add to it . Thanks for bringing that up becuase i do use smoother in save for web

assuming your work is in Adobe RGB, when do you convert to sRGB for the web conversion?

 

 

That action will convert to SRGB in the process so you can go directly from a 16 Bit whatever color space you use and it will make it 8 bit , srgb and jpeg in the action I posted. hit a button and you off to the races.
