The new CS3 has a weird way of installing. Anyhow, now that I have PS CS3 Extended installed, how do I pull up Image Ready? Isn’t it included anymore? Thanks much.

You can’t, because it isn’t.

A lot of people are unhappy about this arbitrary decision by Adobe. You can read all about it in other threads in this forum.

You’ll just have to keep CS2 if you need IR!

Having been there for a lot of the IR discussions, I can assure you that Adobe doesn’t make many ‘arbitrary’ decisions. People outside the engineering and marketing teams weren’t the only ones not happy about the change away from ImageReady.

What really has to be taken into consideration is a) Adobe wants us to love them, and always, and I mean this from personal experience — asks "what are they (they being us) going to think?". Always, since I started working with them and their entire 11 employee staff.

B) The macromedia take-over was a major — as in earth-shattering — event to the engineering teams that were already inside Adobe. The ones who invented, wrote, and upheld ImageReady, which was, in mho, a very cool tool that should have been an extension for those who needed it.

Along comes Fireworks, beloved companion — and fully functional web-compliant bitmap generator. Away goes ImageReady. Watch for major attention being paid to an interaction between current Adobe apps and those apps that are still half MM and half Adobe; it will be significant.

And for those people like me who miss Imageready, there’s nothing I can do for what you think, but I have to get over it. If I think about the exact things I used the program for, there are ways that I can still do what I need to do.

HOWEVER IMAGEREAD CS2 WORKS Fine with PS all the other suite applications, and the only thing really disconnected is the "Switch" code. I’m not making excuses, though — sometimes corporations and organizations have to make decisions that aren’t in the plans of some percentage of their followers.

But we are important to Adobe; they really don’t have an arrogant bone in their digital bodies; try working with MS, Apple, or Quark 🙂

It’s (CS2 IR) is still there — just run it at the same time and swap apps. You just have to save the file in one before going back to the other. Swapping is a pain, but the file moves back and forth just fine. CS3 Photoshop sees the slices and other components that made it IR in the first place, but some things don’t come over. It’s best to try to have your images finished before messing with IR. I assume you weren’t really using IR as the imaging engine, right? Most people use IR as an
output/production-for-the-web engine, and I’m guessing you do too.
