P: Export to SVG file - endless processing loop

Copied

I have a Photoshop file that I'm trying to Export As to an SVG file.  I get all the way to the save option, but then it just sits in an endless processing loop.  I can't figure out how to get this file to finally export as an SVG file.

I've reduced the image size in Photoshop, then also reduced the image size in the Export As setting.  This file just won't finish exporting. 

What can I do to get this to finally work?

Hi all,

This should be fixed in the 19.1.3 release of Photoshop that went live this morning.


To update Photoshop CC to 19.1.3, click “Update” in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Photoshop CC. 
More detailed instructions for updating: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/update-app.html


Please give it a try and let us know if it’s fixed for you.

Pete

Hi Christine,

Frustrating - thanks for the report. What OS and what version of Photoshop are you running?

Is this with any file? There may be something missing from the file. Would you mind emailing the file you're attempting to export to an SVG so we can compare the behavior here?

Thanks,
Hannah

Also, if I am able to get an svg to export I'd be happy to email it back to you in the meanwhile so you have it.

Great - thanks! I forwarded your file to a QE here who works frequently with Export As. I'll keep you posted. In the meanwhile let me get an svg back to you. Looks like it might need some cleanup because I don't have your fonts.

Btw do you have Illustrator? The QE who looked at your file thought that file would better suited to Illustrator than Photoshop. I don't have Illustrator installed on my machine so he rendered it to an svg on his. He may have already emailed it back to you (if not I'll get it and send it shortly).

No, I don't have Illustrator, just Photoshop.

Did he say what was causing the issue of not exporting?

Why would you need to do that? It makes no sense to convert a raster-based image (png) to a vector-based image (svg). You should be saving out your vector graphics to svg/eps and your raster graphics to png/jpg.

I also have a mac and am having the same problem where it just keeps trying to show the preview and keeps spinning. If I try the quick export to svg it allows me to select it, however, the asterisk remains on the file and shows it is not saved.

After update I still cannot export. Any advice? I have a mac and it just keeps trying to show the preview for the svg and keeps spinning. With the quick export, it allows me to select it but then above in the workspace the asterisk remains as unsaved and the file is not saved anywhere.
