For some reason, I got a file that’s only let me do Save for Web in jpg format. I choose png24, click save and it changes to jpg in the save dialog. Then I created a blank doc, copy everything from the problem file over to the new file and I can Save for Web in png just fine.

What’s going on?

Color mode? Color profiles? Extended meta data? There’s a number of reasons it may not allow you to save as anything other than JPEG (which is the only format supporting all these features).

Color mode: RGB 8 Bits/Channel
Color settings: North America General Purpose 2
Extended meta date: I don’t know what this is. But my doc is create from scratch.

Here is the file:

In the save for web (SFW) dialog box you can see there are more than one slices. All the linked slices (grayed out) are set to save as JPG. Including slice 1. Therefore, the JPG extension mystery. If you drop down under "slices" after clicking the blue save button, and select "selected slices," you’ll get a gif (if slice 3 is selected). Or change slice 1 to a gif in the SFW dialog box.

Ah, I figured what’s going on. It’s actually saving my ‘user defined’ slice in png as my setting. Just that the proposed file name in the save dialog show jpg. Nothing wrong actually.

Thanks!
