Streamlined image
processing for the
Web professional
We’re introducing Adobe ImageReady software to provide Web professionals with a comprehensive environ-
ment in which to refine and prepare Web graphics. This program delivers a number of innovative features
that you’ll want to know about, so we’ve prepared this inside tour of Adobe ImageReady to show you how
things work. The examples we’ve selected are brief and to the point because we know your time is limited.
You can follow the examples through in order, or focus only on the features that matter most to you (this is
not a tutorial that locks you into an entire sequence of lessons). You can even skip the steps and just focus on
the accompanying illustrations and screenshots. You’ll quickly see how approachable Adobe ImageReady is.
This guide is divided into eight sections: A Look at Web Graphics Production (pg. 2), Familiar Adobe Inter-
face (pg. 3), Realtime Image Compression (pg. 4), Superior Colour Control (pg. 8), Animation and Other Web
Features (pg. 10), Superior Image Editing (pg. 13), Automation and Batch Processing (pg. 16), and Seamless
File Support (pg. 17). All of the features described apply to both the Windows and Macintosh versions, so feel
free to work on your platform of choice. You can use the files that we provide for this tour (locate them in
Adobe ImageReady 1.0\Images\Images on the reviewer’s CD) or substitute your own Adobe Photoshop
