ImageReady – help

Hello.
The company I work in have just bought an Adobe CS set. This consist of few CD (one with a global, common tutorial) and a book – also global for using all the Suite applications together.
I’m suffering from lack of detailed ImageReady tutorials, help and instructions especially about using tools. I saw through the help in IR, there is even a big chapter about creating web pages (which i’m interested in) but i can’t find the tools description – the help is common for both Photoshop and IR and when you search some topic, you find the photoshop features, not IR.

I want to learn about creating shapes as buttons, bookmarks etc. with e.g. curved rectangle tool an i’m confused with editing it in IR. I know Photoshop but the tools are new for me.
I want some tutorial.

Thanks for help –
Michael

There are tutorials on the web. The Image Ready tools and Photoshop tools are pretty much the same. Whatever icon you see in the toolbox for one does the same in the other for the most part. Turn on tool tips and when you find something unfamiliar look it up in Help.

Probably the best thing you can do is forget about Image Ready for anything and go onto a useful software for your web development.

Don’t worry about IR. It’s a total dog and anyway, the version in CS2 is the last one Adobe will produce. Find some software that does the job properly and use that. If it’s web design you’re after than the Dreamweaver/Fireworks combination is by far the best.

Look at the premade Actions in IR.
Window – Actions

If Adobe trashes IR, I sure hope they include some of its functions, such as variables, in Photoshop.

Why not. It’s all Adobe now.

Why does Adobe put out IR when they have GoLive? How does GoLive measure up against Dreamweaver/Fireworks? Will Adobe drop GoLive as well?

Because GoLive is a web site builder/designer app (i.e it’s about page and site design, not image manipulation) and IR was, supposedly, for producing images to be put in those web sites. IMHO, it never did anything well and wasn’t even on the same planet, never mind the same league, as Fireworks.

GoLive isn’t bad, but it’s clunky, difficult to learn and, most importantly from my POV doesn’t handle the use of templates anywhere near as well as Dreamweaver. As far as I’m concerned is only useful when you have a page in InDesign that you want to turn into a web page. You can send it from ID directly into GoLive and it creates a web page. At which point I save it, shut down GoLive and open the page in Dreamweaver.

I would assume, now that Adobe have Dreamweaver, which is the most used professional web site design software, that they’ll take the good bits out of GL (it does have some, just not very many <g>) add them to Dreamweaver and say a not so fond farewell to GL.

PS CS2 has got variables already.
