Saving for web and or gif not holding image
Saving for web and or gif not holding image
(OP)
Hello all
We are having an issue. When we try to save a file to gif or save for web and devices. We change the image dimensions. And save (File always go back to original sizes on reopen)
Original settings
752 h
753 w
10.44 in h
10.45 in w
72 dpi
New settings
752 h
753 w
2.51 h
2.51 w
300 dpi
Is this a photoshop issue and need to re-install. Suggestions?
Regards,
Driter

RE: Saving for web and or gif not holding image
If you select "save for web", Photoshop strips out your definition of PPI because it is irrelevant for GIF/PNG/JPG. When you reopen the file, Photoshop assigns an assumed PPI because it cannot find a defined PPI in the file's meta data.
There may be more to the story. Why is this an issue in your situation?

This is an image of a signature as a stamp.
The gif is attached as a stamp to the pdf (keeping transperancy) and we are trying to keep quality of the image.
We were doing this a month ago but some reason we lost the ability or the knowledge :D .

The TIF format offers transparency (1-bit and 8-bit) and the ability to define PPI.
The GIF format only offers 1-bit transparency and no ability to define PPI.
RE: Saving for web and or gif not holding image
Your PPI is ignored when placing a graphic in a PDF file because Acrobat bases the size of the signature on the box you draw out in Acrobat, not the native resolution of the image file. So there is no reason to be bothering with PPI.
