albert Posted January 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yesterday I could no longer access “save for web”. Today I gave full access of my IMac to an Adobe genius on Chat. Previously I Had Photoshop 2014. The chat took one hour. It was odd to see the genius moving my cursor from here and there. I now have Photoshop 2020. One, of the many differences: I no longer can choose save for web from the save options. Now, I must choose to export to legacy. Not a big deal but I must now learn a few more tricks. Good practice for a 73 year old. Hope this helps somebody. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Hi albert, Take a look here Photoshop 2020. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted January 6, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2020 Better still, make an action: 1. Layer via copy 2. Flatten image 3. Mode --> 8 bits 4. Resize --> 1280 px 5. Convert to profile --> sRGB (6. Save as) Instead of "save as", you can do additional sharpening and/or insert a signature (make a brush for this) and save afterwards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree. I prefer my method to become on top of the intellectual curve. 💁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2020 Nothing to agree to or disagree with. It is just a suggestion. Take it or leave it. I put the action under the F1 key so I can export my images with one click. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted January 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 6, 2020 These days I move back to High Sierra to be able to stay with Photoshop CS6. I know 32 bit technology only.😒 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts regarding the combination of a Leica Camera and the ever-advancing technology of post processing ? I know that it is not pure photography but the new Adobe Photoshop CC 2020 is quite amazing. 💁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 6, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 6, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not much difference with 2019, Yes, I like it. The difference to older versions like CS6 is spectacular, not only in features but also in image quality through better algorithms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 6, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 6, 2020 Post processing has been a critical part of pure photography (including printing) since early darkroom days. Only the tools have changed, adding flexibility and efficiency. The most important tools, however, still reside between the ears... deciding when, where and to what degree to apply those tools and techniques. The same can be said about the front end tools... cameras/lenses, etc... the person behind them dictates the results. Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will the computer negate the head-scratching when it comes to choosing the front end? i have very little technical knowledge but I really enjoy working with files on my iMac. Also, I will always have a Leica. I enjoy just looking at my CL and of course holding it and using it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitz Posted January 6, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 6, 2020 There was a thread recently on this sub-forum concerning computation photography which seems to be Photoshop-like (and more advanced) functionality being built into the camera and being applied automatically. Those of us who enjoy post-processing will hope that raw is still an available output. Most everything I've dealt with that is touted as AI has been a battle for me because my intelligence wants to do something different than AI wants to do. As an example the folks I know with lane departure warning / lane keep assist on new cars turn this feature off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Of course I agree with you but the computer can improve your sight, soften your judgement, and add multiple choices to your final decision. Keep in mind that I am an amateur and probably have a different set of thoughts compared to a professional. 🙏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 6, 2020 Share #14 Posted January 6, 2020 As a fellow hobbyist, I disagree. Options are easy to come by: having a vision and making decisions can be hard; and that’s the challenge in photography, whether or not one makes a living from it. Good tools help those who know how and when to use them, pro or enthusiast. Otherwise, our results would all be the same. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff I’m sticking with my belief that you can fine tune your vision and I’m not changing my mind. The world is a horse race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 7, 2020 Share #16 Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Of course one can refine his/her vision... it’s a brain thing, not a computer click. There are loads of useful tools in photography, all means to an end, which the user defines. Viewers care about the end result; the rest is uninteresting.

tommonego@gmail.com Posted January 30, 2020 Share #18 Posted January 30, 2020 A little different than Jaapv, Image - Mode: 8 bits/channel Flatten image Layer - Export As; Fill in the options. This outputs a 72ppi file so if size or fitting is important adjust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted January 30, 2020 Share #19 Posted January 30, 2020 Did they remove the Save for Web completely, or is it still marked as legacy? I am still on Photoshop CC 2019...I generally just used command, option, shift, S (I believe), which just brings up the menu... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And , regfasrdless of ppi, which does not really matter, the file will have to be 2480 pixels at the longest side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
