P: Remove the 8192px limit on Save for Web [2013]

I just ran into this issue as well, and unfortunately was not able to get the workaround posted above by Jordan Tavenner to work. It kept overriding all my values to constrain to the 8192px limit, no matter what I did.

Thankfully, I did find another workaround that seems to be working reliably for me so far:

1. Open the "Save for Web" dialog
2. Change your output settings to the preferred format and quality
3. DO NOT interact with the size inputs
4. Click the "Preview" button in the lower left corner of the "Save for Web" dialog
5. Photoshop will generate the image at your original dimensions and open it in a web browser
6. Save out the generated image from the web browser

Beneath the generated image, Photoshop will even generate a summary of your output settings and dimensions, mine read:

Format: JPEG Dimensions: 720w x 14654h Size: 1.039M Settings: Quality is 60, Non-Progressive, Optimized on

 
That being said, given the ever increasing pixel density of displays, this seems a silly limit to continue to impose.

I hit this with iOS Game asset creation. Some backgrounds, easily exceed this, especially for retina assets.

Please keep in mind that "save for web" is also used by other fields as well to ensure a format that conforms to standards. If you save an image as PNG with the standard dialogue instead of using "save for web" you will get different results. We always use save for web to make sure there aren't compatibility issues. The same goes for Jpeg. You'd be surprised by how many people send me jpeg's wondering why it doesn't look correct in other software, and then I realize they saved a CMYK document as a jpeg. Save for web fixes those little accidents as well.

Thanks so much for replying, Jordan! I really appreciate it!

I'm not sure. I haven't worked on a big psd in a while now, but I remember when I was doing this before, the percent field was all over the place. I just ignored it, and did the math in my head.

Thanks so much Jordan! I was totally scratching my head on this one haha! ,)

Any idea how to get the % field to read 100% when saving a jpg for web (after following your instructions to trick PSD)?

My jpgs are indeed saving at 100%, but the image settings are still displaying lower due to the silly/antiquated maximum issue.

Thanks again!
Michael
