Hi, I have another question. :P

I use the heck out of the Save For Web option on Photoshop, but awhile ago I messed with the settings and now all my images automatically save as the optimized image, which doesn't always work because it looks horrible. I tried resetting them but it still seems to be doing it. I know I must just be doing something wrong, so I wondering if you could help me out. Is there a way to use the Save For Web option and not save it optimized, or was I just lucking out when I used it before and saving images that just happened to look fine while optimized ...?

I hope that wasn't too confusing. :\ Thanks.

Open an image, and choose Save For The Web from the File Menu. When the Options Dialog box pops up, click on the right facing arrow to open the Optimize Menu. Click "Delete Settimgs", and see if that works for you. I hope it does!

Unfortunately, when I open the Optimize Menu, I cannot click Delete Settings. Does this mean there shouldn't be a problem? :\

I've also noticed that if you're trying to save it as a JPEG instead of a GIF, there's an option you can check to choose not to optimize it? Why isn't there one of those when saving it as a GIF? I personally like GIF better than JPEG.

Let me first say that this LJ community rocks, Ive learned so much from all of you!!

Ive spent about an hour trying to find the answer to my question, and I give up...

Can someone plz tell me how to convert a PDF file to an online photo gallery and/or convert the entire PDF to jpg or gif?

Thanks!

Re: help? jesus_h_biscuit February 29 2004, 09:25:29 UTC

Excellent question, one I've wondered about myself. I'll look into it and see what I can dig up.

Re: help? mouserz February 29 2004, 10:13:51 UTC

I figured it out!! Go me! :p

I used Acrobat to export all the images so it converted all the images in the pdf to .jpg(s)... now i can put them into a PS photo album...

There has to be an easier way to do this, so if you do find anything on the matter, plz lemme know?

:)

I'm just looking for a favor...

I have Photoshop now, and I'm really clueless. I not horrible at computers: I can do some basic things, but nothing extreme. Anyways, I found this one picture on the internet and it amazed me. I contacted the artist and they told me they used Photoshop to create it. If you're willing, I'll show you the picture and you could maybe tell me how they did it?

Thanks.
