1. Re: is save for web just for posting or for sending, too?
Jeffrey Tranberry Feb 1, 2011 12:45 PM (in response to margieannejulie)Save for web is fine for emailing pictures as well. Use JPEG and they can be viewed and shared (almost) anywhere.

Tai Lao Feb 1, 2011 10:45 PM (in response to margieannejulie)I don't think Jeffrey quite caught this:

If the images are going to be edited ("worked on"), you should NOT be dealing with JPEGs at all. TIFFs or PSDs will do just fine.
Use a JPEG when the file is in its final destination stage, when no further editing or manipulation is required.

That's inaccurate, to put it politely. All Save for Web does is, if you tell it to, remove the embedded color profile, strip all metadata and generate the lightest (weight or size-on-disk wise) possible file. It absolutely does not "translate" anything into anything else, and certainly not "web language" which does not exist in regard to displaying images.

margieannejulie Feb 2, 2011 12:18 PM (in response to Tai Lao)Thanks everybody,
I think that Tao got it right and he deserves the correct answer so please consider that small star just an erratum; by the way, I found it extremely interesting to find
that save for web strips the metadata off the image, so all the trouble to get it in Bridge. You know the metadata panel. I am sort of shocked.

Marian Driscoll Feb 2, 2011 1:33 PM (in response to margieannejulie)The intent of Save for Web is to make the smallest possible size. Metadata adds unnecessary size. Metadata is excluded by default. There are options to include it.

MTSTUNER Feb 2, 2011 2:02 PM (in response to margieannejulie)Also in your first post you said you needed to send the file with the layers,
did you change your mind, because using save for web will not keep the layers
intact, it will flatten your file.

margieannejulie Feb 2, 2011 2:31 PM (in response to MTSTUNER)No, I did not change my mind, actually I realized the minute I posted that I could not send layers with save for web because that inevitably implies JEPG,
and that inevitably deletes layers, but I did not know where the delete post button is. I was then interested in keeping the metadata in general, for the future.
By the way, I need now to delete a few discussions from my own "my stuff", if you can tell me how to do it.
