I have a macro that I frequently use to save images to several different predefined sizes. I use Save for Web to do the actual saving.
The trouble is that every time Photoshop’s been closed since the last time I ran the macro, it always defaults to an “[unnamed]” setting in Save for Web – it defaults to some variety of non-transparent GIF, for some reason. So every time I need to export an image to these different sizes, I have to remember to open Photoshop, open the image, open the Save for Web dialog, change to the default preset (“JPEG High”), click “Done”, and then run the macro.
The Save for Web dialog is not available if no image is open, so the usual way of setting default settings by setting them with no documents open doesn’t work here. There is no “[Default]” setting in the dialog, nor is there any “Set as default” option in the dropdown menu next to the presets list.
Is there no way to set a preset as the default so that I don’t have to get rid of that utterly useless GIF preset every single time I open Photoshop?
This never used to be a problem – in previous versions of Photoshop, it remembered the last settings, so the problem only appeared if I’d actually used another setting myself (which happened occasionally, but rarely). Why was it changed to this bizarre and annoying behaviour in CC2019 (or whichever version exactly changed it)?
