Jumping to other applications (ImageReady)


    In addition to jumping to current versions of Photoshop, you can jump to other graphics-editing applications and HTML-editing applications from within ImageReady.

    When you install ImageReady, Adobe graphics-editing and HTML-editing applications currently on your system are added to the Jump To submenu. You can add more applications, including non-Adobe applications, to the Jump To submenu.

    When you jump to a graphics-editing application, the original file is opened in the destination application. When you jump to an HTML editor, the optimized file and the HTML file are saved and opened in the destination application. If the image contains slices, all files for the full image are included. A preference enables files updated in another application to be automatically updated in ImageReady, when jumping back to ImageReady.

To jump to another application from ImageReady:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Choose File > Jump To, and choose the desired application from the submenu.
    • If the desired application doesn't appear in the Jump To submenu, choose Other Graphics Editor or Other HTML Editor to specify the application.
  2. If the file has been modified since the last save, choose an option in ImageReady for saving the file:
    • Click Save, and save the file with its current name and location.
    • Click Save As, and save the file with a new name, a new location, or both.

To add an application to the Jump To submenu:

  1. Create a shortcut (Windows) or an alias (Mac OS) for the application you want to add to the menu.
  2. Drag the icon for the shortcut or alias into the Jump To Graphics Editor or the Jump To HTML Editor folder in the Helpers folder in the Photoshop program folder.
  3. Restart ImageReady to view the application in the Jump To submenu.

To automatically update a file when jumping back to ImageReady from another application:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In Windows and Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit > Preferences > General.
    • In Mac OS X, choose ImageReady > Preferences > General.
  2. Select Auto-Update Files.
