Seamless File Support
Adobe ImageReady opens and saves a wide variety of file formats. In particular, it opens PSD, GIF, JPG,
PNG, BMP, PCX, PXR, TGA, TIF, PICT, Photo CD, AI, EPS, and PDF files. It saves PSD, GIF, JPG, PNG,
BMP, PCX, PXR, TGA, TIF, and PICT files (PICT support on Macintosh only).
You’ll also enjoy the smooth interaction between Adobe ImageReady, Photoshop, and Illustrator software, as
each program plays its part in creating, refining, and producing Web graphics.
Importing Adobe Illustrator Files
To import Adobe Illustrator files (AI or EPS), simply choose File > Open, and select a file. ImageReady
rasterizes the file, converting it to a PSD (Photoshop) file.
Working Closely with Adobe Photoshop
You can move Photoshop files back and forth between ImageReady and Photoshop as necessary to get the
job done. You may, for example, work on a PSD file in ImageReady, realize that you need to make some
complex image edits, and switch back to Photoshop with ease. Just choose File > Jump to Photoshop, and
ImageReady saves the file and opens it automatically in Photoshop. Then, when you’re ready, move the file
back into ImageReady for final processing, while preserving any layer attributes.
Note:
To use the Jump to Photoshop feature, you must first create a shortcut or alias for Photoshop and
store it in the ImageReady\Helpers\Jump To folder. Then restart ImageReady.
