 CC - He is not saving it as a PNG because he is trying to lower the file size.

Save for Web is good for saving sigs in JPEG. It lowers the file size while keeping the quality.

So back to subject. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

try export to imageready then re-export back

could be the picture is in a different mode :/ not sure, but imageready converts for you instead of looking for right setting lol

 Ok here's some thoughts:

First the little 1 and the X are just view extra's. If you want them gone go to view and then click off view extras. I don't think that is your problem however.

Here's what the problem looks like: notice that the normal Save is also greyed out. This tells mw that you saved it already prior to trying Save for web. I'd recomend making a tiny change then checking your save options again. Also do you have a ligitimate version of PS or are you using a bridge for macs¿ There are some bugs that I found on google That can cause your Save for web to not function when opening from the Start menu. Try closig your program and then hunting it down through the my computer or c:\ options adn starting it there.

This thread had some interesting theories

I'm gonna play around with it and see what I can find...

 Well, if you're trying to srink the filesize, .gif will generally make the filesize vastly smaller than if it were a .png. That's usually the filetype I use when making avvies and saving most of my pictures, and it works like a charm.

"save for web" is the only thing that can change it to gif or png, check ALL my file types by clicking here

 Hmm . . . try copying the whole image, then pasting it into a new canvas, then save. That might solve your problem.

 You never know 'til you try. :D

1. Copy the image you're trying to save (Ctrl+A to select the image, then Ctrl+C).
2. Click "File," then "New."
3. Paste the copied image in the new canvas.
4. Attempt using "Save for Web," or see if .gif is an available filetype.

I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a shot. If all else fails, do as Grafh said and save as a .jpeg.

nope didnt work...and iv BEEN using JPEG. i once made an avvy (10K limit) that was 15 K, and that saved on the lowest quality and just 1 brush used (it turned out to be a blur) that was the simplist and i wanted to make something more complicated. i "Saved for web" and it lowered it to 8K with decent quality and it was pretty complicated

 It could have to do with what version of Photoshop you're using, too. I use CS, which has the option to save as a .gif without using "Save for Web." Perhaps you should get it one way or another. If you want, I could resize the filesize for you. :D

u guys arent understanding me....i was able to do it before so it doesnt have to do with what type of photoshop i use. and the highest quality also hightens the file size which is what im trying to avoid

 Hmm . . . a strange situation indeed. Perhaps restarting Photoshop/your computer would help? Those are pretty much the only options I can see that are left. Sorry we couldn't help you out more.

 Odd. Not many options left . . . do you still have the install.exe file? All i can see that's left would be to reinstall Photoshop altogether. That or you might have an odd virus of some sort. Other than that, I can't really help you any more than I have.

Restarting your computer right now wouldn't hurt, either. Something may have happened between your last restart and now.
