PS CS6 action save for web error

Jul 25, 2012 1:59 AM

Tags: #photoshop #actions #cs6 #save_for_web

In Photoshop CS6 actions when we save the image as JPEG through save for web it doesn't work when we run it, instead it runs and saves the image as HTML, i guess some error in it. I tried it again and again but it doesn't remember my save for web settings and saves the images as HTML.

    Can you save the Action set and upload it to someplace we can download it and look at the actions something may be recorded badly.

    It a new bug in CS6 though when you recorded the action you saved jpeg images to you desktop and you only entered file names onto the save for web action steps the action recorder recorded name.html.  I replaced you save for web steps on my machine for my desktop and CS6 recorded  name.html.  I then did the same with CS5 though I only entered names CS5 recorded name.jpg.

     

    If you expand the export steps tou will see the hard coded file names and extention 

     

    An action like this will always save the same files it can not be batch because you recorded Path and Names in the save for web steps.  The .html files saved on with CS6 are actually jpeg files and if you rename them hrom name.html to name.jpg you can use them,

     

    Set: cropping

    This was reported more than 2 months ago and a Photoshop (Adobe) employee confirmed it as such.

     

    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/ps_cs6_actions_r ecorded_action_exports_html_instead_of_jpg

     

    This is a HUGE inconvenience and surely needs to be addressed sooner than later.  I have found that importing actions from older versions will work...the only problem is if the machine name/user name/folder path changes it is worthless.

     

    Luckily I have PS5.5 installed on my other computers and I use that...however, I just got my new MBP with Retina and won't be able to install 5.5, only the CC6 version.

    I'm having this same issue and falling back on CS5 to batch the actions.
