Checking Out the Toolbox
When looking closer at the Toolbox, you’ll see some familiar tools (such as the Move, Paintbrush, Hand, and Zoom tools) and some Web graphic specific tools — including the Image Map Select, Rectangle Image Map, Slice, and Slice Select tools. Figure 55-2 shows the Toolbox with the Web tools and buttons labeled.
Figure 55-2: The ImageReady Toolbox contains Web- specific tools and buttons.
Following is a list of the tools in the ImageReady Toolbox that may be a bit unfamiliar. I briefly explain what each tool does. The letter in the parentheses is the keyboard shortcut for the tool.
Slice (K): Creates slice divisions.
Slice Select (O): Selects slices.
Image Map Select (J): Selects image map areas.
Rectangle Image Map (P): Creates rectangular image map areas.
Tab Rectangle (R): Creates rectangular shapes with rounded corners.
Toggle Image Map (A): Shows/hides hotspot boundaries.
Preview Document (Y): Quickly shows how the image will look in a browser environment.
Toggle Slice Visibility (Q): Shows/hides slice boundaries.
Preview in Default Browser (Ctrl+Alt+P/z +Option+P): Displays your document in your favorite Web browser.
Jump to Photoshop (Shift+Ctrl+M/Shift+z +M): Quickly jumps to Photoshop to make adjustments to your image.
As you expect, just as in Photoshop, any time a tool is selected in ImageReady, the Options bar changes to display that tool’s settings.
Tear-off toolbars
A super feature of the ImageReady toolbar is the ability to tear off toolbars from the Toolbox. If you open a fly-out menu on the ImageReady toolbar, you notice that a tiny downward-pointing arrow is at the bottom of the fly-out, as shown in Figure 55-3.
Figure 55-3: In ImageReady you can tear off the Toolbox fly-out menus to create mini-toolbars.
If you drag the mouse down over that arrow, and then release the mouse button, a mini-toolbar containing the tools of the fly-out menu appears. You can drag the mini-toolbar anywhere you need it in the program window. When you finish with the mini-toolbar, just click the Close button to make it disappear.
Jumping back and forth between ImageReady and Photoshop
When you’re working on Web graphics, you can leave both Photoshop and ImageReady open. That way, you can quickly jump back and forth, making changes to the same open file.To jump between the programs, just click the Jump To button at the bottom of the Toolbox, or select File>Edit in Photoshop or File>Edit in ImageReady (depending upon the program you’re using).When you jump to Photoshop from ImageReady, perform some edits, then jump back to ImageReady, the Photoshop edits are shown in the ImageReady History palette as a history state named “Update from Photoshop.” Likewise, when you jump to Photoshop, any changes made in ImageReady are listed in Photoshop’s History palette as “Update from ImageReady.” Because these “Updates” are history states, you can undo them at any time by selecting an earlier history state.
