What is jumping? |
Because
Photoshop and ImageReady each have something valuable to contribute to the
web-development process, Adobe has made it easy to have the best of both
worlds. ImageReady and Photoshop read the same file format, and have the
same file extension: .psd. And if your computer has at least 90-100MB of
memory, you can have both applications open at the same time and jump between
them.

How
does it work?
|
In both applications, the bottom button on the toolbox is the Jump To button. In Photoshop, the button launches ImageReady; in ImageReady, the button launches Photoshop. See the pictures at left for a close-up of each. This process works because the two applications share a temporary file, so that changes made in one application are reflected automatically in the other. Whenever you jump from one application to the other, the original application stores the current state of your graphic file into the temporary file, and then the destination application comes to the front, loads the temp file and updates the display. While that is happening, the new window is shaded dark gray. As soon as the updates from the other application have loaded, the gray shading disappears and you can continue to work in the new application. (This process is often so fast you can miss seeing it.) When you are done working on your file, you can save it from either application.
