Hey everyone,

I'm trying to save a Photoshop CS4 file for Web & Devices so I can have Photoshop compile the slices and the CSS so I can hand-design rollovers. Unfortunately, all of a sudden the dialogue box for Save For Web & Devices is greyed out... I've check online, changed color profiles, deleted save for web and devices library files, updated Photoshop, nothing. I've even checked past .psds I've designed that I've saved for Web & Devices and haven't changed since--even the Web & Devices box is greyed out for them. Help! What do I do? I need to do this before Friday. Thank you!

Go to your plug-ins folder (Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS4 > Plug-ins > Import-Export)

If you are missing the "Save for Web.plugin" that is the reason why it is grayed out.

If you have a friend with CS4, just ask them to email you that plugin file, put it in the "Import-Export" folder. Restart Photoshop after copying the file, open up your working file, and it will work!

Hi

I'm also having the same problem with the Save for Web & Devices Box Greyed Out.

I think it's the plugin that's corrupt, as I've tried deleting preferences and seetings. I can't find the photoshop cd to reinstall it.

Has anyone got the MAC CS4 Photoshop "save for web plugin" (Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Plugins/Adobe Save for Web CS4/Photoshop/Adobe Save for Web CS4 Prefs) that they could send me.

Thanks very much

I had this same issue, it was after I installed a scanner twain that over

wrote my import-export plugins. I pulled a save for web plugin from my photoshop cs3 plugins and whola, it was available again. Not sure why your plugin went bad, but this might be worth a try

Check your ducument color depth and mode. It must be 8bit RGB.

SFW will convert to 8bit (and to working RGB space / sRGB?). I wonder if this isn't a custom SFW key command issue. Or even just a PS pref issue. OP doesn't state that he explicitly reset them.

Thanks for your help, but I did it and it didn't work. I've tried this a couple times. Any other suggestions?

Are you saying that you got the confirmation message to show preferences were reset but the problem still exists? - - - or are you saying that you cannot confirm preferences were reset?
