Save for Web allows to find compromise between minimal file size and acceptable quality of image quickly. While adjusting various settings, you may explore how image quality and file size change. Options to reduce file size of an image include setting compression quality, number or colors, resizing, cropping, Exif information removal, etc.

Catalan Translation
Hi there:
Auris: I've finished the catalan translation for your excellent plugin.
Can you add my language to the sources??

Wishlist
First of all, great plug-in!
Anyway, I used to use Macromedia Fireworks and missed some features for web optimisation that it has. So I was wondering if you could implement it on your plug-in. Here're the features:
It would be great if we could have these options.
Thanks for the plug-in, though!

Matte colour background for gif
Just incase anyone got here from a search for "matte colour photoshop gif transparency", the matte option for blending partially transparent pixels with another colour to greate a gif with transparency that sits nicely on a coloured background, rather than the jagged edge of white non antialiased pixels.
The plugin for this job is available from the menu (gimp 2.6)
Filters->Web->Semi-Flatten
-Chose the background colour for this in the toolbox (foreground/background colour choice).
One thing to note is that this filter (as with other filters) applies to the selected layer, so you will have to blend layers down (right-click), or apply the filter to each layer.
Wont work
Could someone please explain to me how it works. Cause is doesnt seem to download/ run with me.

Error in version 0.28.1 for Windows: Image too large
Hello everybody!
Seems to me as if I fell in love with this plugin. But as I am using GIMP for Windows - still running version 2.4.7 because the 2.6 branch lacks of help files - I come across a strange error message every now and then, telling me that some of the images I want to process are "too large". Does anybody of you know if this bug is already fixed in the latest stable version 0.28.6?
And, another kind request of mine: Is there somebody among you who could update this plugin or even compile it into an EXE suitable for the use in Windows XP? I am a complete newbie when it comes to compiling.
Really looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your help!
Bye, Tim.
Very cool design! I find
Very cool design! I find very interesting information at this article, thanks.
I do not understand: You are
I do not understand:
You are using the plugin since you reported a error..right?
But then you asked for a compiled version...is there in the zip at the first link,
you will be not be able to use if was not compiled for win
Some things to be explained
Thanks a lot at first, PhotoComiX, for your remarks! As I see now, some things need to be explained:
No, I do not use the plugin since the error occurred. I just gave it a try in its 0.28.1 version which was already precompiled for Windows. And just at first sight I came across the problem of some images being too large. After that, I decided to delete the plugin from my GIMP because it didn't seem to work. But nevertheless, I somehow like the idea behind such a function. And for sure, I would really like to use it again.
And that's the reason why I was asking yesterday if the bug described had already been fixed in newer versions.
As far as I know, development continued up to version 0.28.6 until now. Just wanted to ask if someone else saw the problem I encountered, if it is - perhaps - solved in the latest version, and finally: if this very release (i.e.: Save for Web, version 0.28.6) has already been compiled for Windows XP.
So thanks again for the extra questions. Now I hope you can see my request a little clearer. And I'm still looking forward to hearing from you.
Tim
Some things to be explained
I see..
Now may be a problem of the plugin but may simply be connected to the default setting of gimp.
As default Gimp may run on obsolete computers with very few RAM, ...on the other hand that default become a limitation with modern computers with a lot of RAM.
So i suggest first to adapt that setting, you will find them under Edit/Preferences
Gimp preferences are a bit a labyrinth a look to "Adjusting GIMP's preferences " paragraph of this tut
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/beginning-with-gimp-starting-tutorial-for-... may help.
There again in preferences there is also a limit to file size of new images that may be created , on modern PC you may well increase that value
Then may even be a specific problem in that plugin, but first i would check if editing the preference solve...(also because there are no many volunteer able to compile plugin in windows )
let me know if edit preferences solved
gimp support
your link suggests this is only for windows, I have ubuntu 8.10 will it work here?

For both PPC and Intel. I have yet to try either.
thanx
Worked hip hip ura!
It works!
Tried the PPC version with Gimp 2.4.7 on Mac OS 10.4. Works perfectly.
awesome
just wanted to say thanks for creating this plugin. it works great in windows on 2.4.6!
No install instructions
I'm new to Ubuntu which is probably the problem but some proper install instructions would be really nice. The read me file doesn't exactly spell it out.
Thanks,
no need for instructions!
At this website http://www.getdeb.net/category.php?id=4 you will find the plugin as a .deb archiv. When download the file the install dialog for debian will open and the plugin will be installed. After the installation you will find in the menu file.
regards

Plugin dosn't work with Gimp 2.4.5
Plugin dosn't work with The Gimp version 2.4.5
I cannot configure the plugin.
This is m console output when i run ./configure
checking for GIMP... configure: error: Package requirements (gimp-2.0 >= 2.3.0 gimpui-2.0 >= 2.3.0) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GIMP_CFLAGS
and GIMP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
It dosn't find my version of the gimp!
Can I work around this problem?

doesn't work
Hi, I'm totally new to GIMP but the one thing I need to do is change a photo into a cross stitch pattern which I can do, but it comes out with a million shades and I need to "save for web" and limit the number of colors so I have maybe 10 to use for the cross stitch. I downloaded the plug in, but it into my "plug in" file in my GIMP folder and I can't seem to find where I would "save for web" in GIMP. Is it under file? Is the plug in not working? help please. thanks!
re: doesn't work
If it is installed properly it will show up under File -> Save For Web.
BTW, I'm guessing you're on Windows, but if you want to try out GNU/Linux there is a very good cross stitch program called kxstitch which will import photos and give you safe colours, what thread you're supposed to use, etc. My mum loves it.
cross stitch for mac?
Is that program also available for mac? or is it a different program?
Very useful website, thanks
Very useful website, thanks for this article and very interesting design, thanks.

oh thank you very much for
oh thank you very much for your help, i bit it .
I managed to do it
Hi Bruce
On a hunch, I rev'd up Adept Manager and installed just about everything that started with gimp or libgimp or libgtk that had -dev or -dbg on the end of it. A bit brute force, may have been some overkill. But the configure, make and make install worked like a charm. And I'm ecstatic about the utility! It is wonderful! WHO NEEDS PHOTOSHOP!
Well, my graphics designer GF still thinks she does, but Gimp is plenty good enough for me!
OBTW, AMD64 Kubuntu Hardy environment.
Best of luck,
Tom
UPDATE: Just read the rest of the comments below. See http://registry.gimp.org/node/33#comment-182. Looks like robv got it down to the one lib needed. So the graceful thing would be to install that one. I bet it will work.
Safe for web
How do i get safe for web on a mac???
Safe for the web MAC
well or you compile it or you find somebody that may explain you how compile or available to do for you (and the others that may need it)
Anyway i think the best place to ask about is the help forum

Windows installer can't find a GTK+ dll-file
When I tried to install this plug-in I recieved a system alert about missing file. The name of this missing file was libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll. Using my filemanager I found two copies of this file actually located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin\ and in C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\.
What is the problem? How can I force the installer to find this file? Or is it nessesary to install GTK+ in some specific location? Or can you possibly change the installer? Is it possible to install it manually?
My system is: Windows XP SP2, GTK+ 2.4.14, GIMP 2.4.4.
