I answered in the other thread trash the SFW prefs
I’ve already done that, didn’t help. Still stuck in slice mode.
as mentioned in the other thread clear the slices
now save for web.
in the history palette take a step back
Which part doesn’t work? Can’t you clear slices? This is in Photoshop, before going into Save for Web.
I’ve trashed the prefs, that didn’t work.
Trashed the save for web prefs, nope.
There are no slices to clear. Until I hit the save for web, I’ve not got any slices, so no, I can’t clear slices.
Stepping back in history also does not take care of this problem.
It’s not until I’ve actually gotten to the save-for-web screen that anything with slices appears.

If the slices appear in SFW then you have slices.
Go to: View > Show > Slices
Although you can clear the slices without showing them.
Ok, so showing slices gives me my one photo with the dotted line around the entire graphic. I still can’t clear it. Clear slices is grayed out.
This is on an object that before yesterday, never had slices. Why would a graphic magically sprout slices w/out any intervention whatsoever? There has got to be something that got tweaked in my prefs or somewhere else in the app that would make *everything* I open have slices when I go to save for web.
Who else was using your computer??
Is it just one slice that encompasses the whole document? What happens if you paste the image into a new document?
Just myself using it. I closed it yesterday morning for an hour or so, opened it back up and this is happening now.
It’s just the one slice.
If I paste this into a new document OR start a new document, whatever, the same result. It’s like when going to save for web, it’s hitting there and triggering open slices or something. When I get to that screen, instead of the hand tool being chosen, the slice tool is.
This is on any document I open, any I start, any I paste, et al.
Then turn off show slices.
Well I don’t know what is happening. It doesn’t do that here. But if it’s only one slice, what difference does it make? Just save as usual. Or am I missing something?
Did you quit out of Photoshop before trashing SFW prefs?
LOL. I’ve already not shown slices, shown slices, etc.
What no one seems to understand is that on the document, whether it be new, old, existing, transferred, copied..whatever…there are NO slices until I hit SFW. So, showing slices, not showing slices, going back in history, clearing slices…if it has to do with slices, it doesn’t matter – because there are no slices! lol.
I have the unsliced document open, click on save for web and VOILA! I’ve now got a document that is a slice.
Is there no one here that knows how to make this stop? I’m not about ready to pay Adobe $39 for something that would appear to be a bug with their application.
Yes, I did quit PS before trashing prefs 🙂
When I would SFW before yesterday, I had the option of gif, jpg, etc, etc, etc. I don’t have that now. All I have is save as images, html, or html and images.
I’d like my old normal settings back. The ability to choose from different formats for saving.
But if it’s only one slice, what difference does it make? Just save as usual. Or am I missing something?
I agree.
Did you quit out of Photoshop before trashing SFW prefs?
did you??
I cannot save as usual. The way I normally save is GONE. replaced with saving as images,html, html and images.
Of course I quit the application before trashing the prefs. I’m not a computer neophyte.
As this is going nowhere, I’m going to reinstall the software and see if that corrects the issue. Urgh, what a pain. Wastes time I don’t have :/
Thanks for trying to help.
Before reinstalling, trash preferences one more time. Repair permissions, reinstall, repair permissions again.
Under SFW:
in the SFW screen dialog you hit save
and up pops the "Save Optimized As" dialog.
at the bottom choose
Format: "Images only"
Settings: Default
Slices: All (But this should be greyed out since it does not apply)
Buko,
This hits on some confusion I’ve had that may go back to the "images only"
I made simple rollovers (no slices) in PS/IR, saved optimized as images/html
I dragged the html document into GL6, selected all, and pasted into my GL table
The little slice balloon comment icons pasted in with it
Being this is only rollovers, no slices, is it recommended to select the balloon comments icons and delete them???
OK..let me reword this.
It appears that what I’m seeing is default behaviour. I’m not sure how or why, but for some reason, until yesterday, I was *not* seeing these options.
I’ve trashed my copy of PS and reinstalled it and I’m still seeing this (apparently) default setting.
Do you know how to change this so I can choose to save as gif, jpg, etc? Like I said, I’m not sure how I got that to show before…I wasn’t aware that I had changed anything.
I’ve now spent SO much time on this issue (over 14 hours) that I can’t even be sure of what I was seeing before. lol. I just know it wasn’t what I see now.
My head hurts! lol. :/
Cherie it seems you want Save As
Save For Web saves a stripped down image with no meta data.
the choice of file type in SFW is in the top right corner of the SFW dialog box.
Yes, I’m aware of the differences between SA and SFW. For these particular images, I need to save them for web – gives them a nice white blur around the object in the image. SA does not.
In the SFW dialog there’s a dropdpown next to the word Presets. If it’s set to Original there will be no other options in the dropdown, but that’s where you choose your format.
Could that be the issue? Slices have nothing to do with which format you save as
Hmm..I don ‘t have "presets." Where is this located?
Oops, sorry. That’s in CS. But it’s similar in 7…
In 7 if you are on Original in the 2 up or 4 up or if Original is in the slot by Settings you won’t see formats for saving. Click onto the other boxes or hit the dropdown arrow to choose. Does that work?
Are you updated to 7.0.1 by the way?
