image ready

It’s great for making animated GIFs (banners, etc.) and rollovers. You can create something in Photoshop where you have a different object in each layer, and the layers are transparent around the objects. You can jump to ImageReady and make a "movie" where you add a frame, move the objects to a new place, add another frame, move the objects, etc. Each time the objects only change position in that particular frame. You can even tween!

Or you can pre-make your layers in Photoshop, jump to ImageReady and click on the tiny triangle on the Animation palette and select "Make Frames from Layers." This will automatically convert all your layers into sequential frames of a movie. You can adjust the timing of each frame and the number of times the animation repeats.

Here’s an animation that uses multiple ImagReady animations stacked in layers in HTML:

Or this single animation:

Here’s a simple thing to do. Make a file that is 300 pixels wide and 80 pixels tall. Fill it with black. grab the type tool and type something cool. Jump to ImageReady (CTRL+SHFT+M). Once in ImageReady, grab the text layer and slide it completely off the screen to the right. Click on the "Duplicate current frame" icon at the bottom of the Animation palette. In this frame shift-drag the text layer all the way to the left and off the page. Now you have two frames of a "movie" but both appear to be blank. Select the first frame and click on the tiny triangle in the upper right corner of the Animation palette and choose "tween." Tween with next frame, add 12 frames, tween all layers and check all the boxes. ImageReady will add the frames to make it look like the text is moving across the screen. Press the Play button and watch! View and save Optimized

Peadge, when I view that page in Internet Explorer 6 the juggler’s arms are obviously part of his body but when I view it in Firefox his arms are completely detached and on their own on the left-hand side of the screen with the rest of the graphic nearer the middle.

Yeah, that was part of an old site that was specifically built for IE. I use absolutely positioned layers and both Netscape and Firefox seem to have problems. I think I need to define a width or something. When I get time, I’ll try to make it more multi-browser compatible. Netscape has a heck of a time with layers, sometimes placing them outside the screen, in spite of the fact that the coordinates are well within the screen.

Thanks though!

yo bob,

image ready was the adobe sollution for DTP. These dtp guys knew nothing about html and could not work with for example dreamweaver, but could work with photoshop. So the developed a program that makes html code of a photoshop item. Ofcourse you can do much more but this was the main reason why adobe made image ready.

grtz, michiel
