Photoshop Save For Web
The Save For Web dialog box doesn't provide as much flexibility in the ouput image file formats as the Save As dialog, but it does offer more flexibility with each supported option. Supported output file formats include:
• JPEG - Selection of Quality level (1-100). No transparency.
• GIF - Different palette sizes (2-256) and dithering options define quality. Supports single-bit transparency.
• PNG-8 - Reduced color depth (2-256 colors) and dithering options defines quality. Supports multi-bit transparency.
• PNG-24 - "Lossless" 24-bit quality. Supports multi-bit transparency.
• WBMP - Black & White dithered output.

Photoshop另存为网页格式
另存为网页格式没有像另存为那样提供很多中保存图像文件的格式选择,但是它为每种支持的格式提供了更灵活的设置。支持的格式包括:
• Jpeg-可以设置图像保存质量(1-100%)。无透明度。
• Gif-通过设置调色盘大小(2-256色)和颜色抖动来确定保存图片的质量。支持单色透明度。
• Png-8-通过设置调色盘大小(2-256色)和颜色抖动来确定保存图片的质量。支持单色透明度。(原文中png-8透明度的说法貌似有误?)
• Png-24-无损24位质量。支持透明度。
• Wbmp-黑白抖动输出。

Save For Web JPEG output
Because the Save for Web command is intended to be used for images that are destined for display on the internet, one of the primary goals is in optimizing the file size as much as possible while still retaining acceptable image quality. To this end, two methods are used to achieve this: a) a live preview of changing JPEG compression quality sliders and b) the removal of all unnecessary metadata (JPEG markers) in the output file.
The main features in Save for Web include:
• Optimize to File Size: Ability to automatically select both the file format (JPEG or GIF) and JPEG compression level to achieve the selected file size.
• Removal of EXIF metadata. For many this is a useful feature, while others will completely avoid Save for Web because of it. For simple images on a web site or for privacy reasons, you may want to hide the time/date a photo was taken, or other parameters. But, if you plan to share your images on a photo hosting site and would like to indicate the focal length, aperture and other parameters to your viewers, Save for Web will not be the right method.
• Removal of Optional Markers. In most output JPEG files, special markers are used to indicate additional information or provide resiliency in the case of errors / corruption. The Save for Web method will remove these and still allow JPEG decoders to work.
另存为网页格式之jpeg输出
保存为网页格式目的是输出展示在网页上的图片,保存的主要的目的之一是在维持图片质量的同时尽可能地缩小文件体积。保存为网页格式使用了两种方法达到此目的:a) 在拖动滑动条更改jpeg质量设置时提供即时预览;b)移除输出文件中所有不必要的信息(jpeg标记)。
另存为网页格式的主要特色有:
• 优化文件大小:可以自动选择文件格式(jpeg或gif)和选择jpeg的压缩率,以实现选定的文件大小。
• 移除Exif信息。很多时候这是一个有用的功能,而另一些人则会因为此功能而不使用另存为网页格式。对于简单的网页图片来说,或者出于保护隐私,你也许希望隐藏照片拍摄的时间日期以及其它参数。但是,如果你想要在网络相册中分享你的照片,并且希望观看者看到拍摄的焦距、光圈和其它参数,那么就不适合使用另存为网页格式了。
• 移除可选的标记。在大多数jpeg文件中,有一些记录附加信息、或是在出错/崩溃时用以恢复的特殊标记。另存为网页格式会在jpeg文件依然能被解码的前提下移除这些标记。
===============================================
ICC Color Profiles
Both Save for Web and Save As give you the option of including the ICC Color Profile within the image. Color profiles are used to the viewer's display how the RGB values within the image data should map to real-world colors. Assuming you have a color-managed environment (calibrated and profiled monitor), this profile is used to display the colors as they were intended to be shown.
Unfortunately, most web browsers don't read this profile and most people don't have calibrated monitors, so the default color space, sRGB is generally assumed. Therefore, if you are sharing your photos on the web, and your photos were shot in a color space such as Adobe RGB, it is strongly advised that you convert to sRGB first. Once you've done that, there is little need to include the ICC profile within the file.
Comparison of JPEG Markers
The differences between the output of the two JPEG compressed file saving methods is easily visible when comparing the JPEG (JFIF) files themselves. The JPEG (JFIF) file format specifies a number of mandatory markers as well as some optional ones. The chart below shows how Photoshop CS2 Save as and Photoshop CS2 Save for the Web compare at a low level, with the help of JPEGsnoop:
ICC颜色配置:
另存为网页格式和另存为都提供了是否嵌入ICC颜色配置的选项。颜色配置是用来让图片文件的RGB数值在用户显示器上显示出更真实的色彩。假设你有一个经过颜色管理的环境(校准和配置过的显示器)配置能让颜色显示更接近预期的效果。
很不幸的是,大部分浏览器不支持颜色配置,并且大部分人没有校准过的显示器,所以默认假设是sRGB色彩空间。因此,如果你在网上分享照片,如果你的照片拍摄时使用的是其它色彩空间,例如Adobe RGB,那么强烈建议你转换为sRGB。如果你这样做的话,就基本不需要在文件中嵌入ICC颜色配置了。
通过对比jpeg文件,两种jpeg压缩文件保存方式的区别是很容易识别的。jpeg(jfif)文件格式中列入了一些强制的标记和一些可选的标记。下面的表格是photoshop另存为和另存为网页格式的输出文件的对比。
