Preview an optimized image in a web browser
You can preview an optimized image in any web browser installed on your system. The browser preview displays the image with a caption listing
the image's file type, pixel dimensions, file size, compression specifications, and other HTML information.
1. Open the image you want to preview.
2. Select File > Save For Web, and apply your optimization settings.
3. Choose a browser from the Preview In menu in the lower-right corner of the optimized image, or click the browser icon to
launch your default web browser.
Add a browser to the Preview In menu
1. Choose File > Save For Web.
2. Click the down arrow in the Preview In menu, and choose Edit List.
3. In the Browsers dialog box, click Find All. The dialog box displays all installed browsers.
4. Select a browser, click Add, and then click OK.
View estimated download time
1. Open an image and choose File > Save For Web.
2. Choose your optimization settings.
3. Click the triangle to the upper right of the optimized image to view the document panel menu.
4. Choose an Internet access speed, including modem, ISDN, cable, or DSL Internet access.
5. When you change the Internet access speed, the estimated download time displayed under the optimized image is updated. If
the download time seems too long, try different optimization settings, or change the image size in the Save For Web dialog
box.
Preview variations in color display
When optimizing an image for the web, consider how the image will appear on different monitors. In general, an image appears darker in Windows
systems than on Mac OS systems. You can simulate cross-platform display differences in the Save For Web dialog box.
1. Open an image and choose File > Save For Web.
2. Choose your optimization settings.
3. Click the triangle to the right of the optimized image to view the document panel menu.
4. Choose a display option:
Uncompensated Color Shows the image with no color adjustment (the default option).
Standard Windows Color Adjusts the color to simulate a standard Windows monitor.
Standard Macintosh Color Adjusts the color to simulate a standard Macintosh® monitor.
Use Document Color Profile Shows image with its color profile, if one exists.
Note: These preview options adjust color only in the Save For Web dialog box; they don't change colors in the original or
optimized image.
Preview an animation
You can preview an animation in the Save For Web dialog box or in a web browser. The Save For Web dialog box shows the animation as still
frames. You must preview the animation in a browser to view the frames in timed sequence.
