This part of ASAP* is devoted to ImageReady, a Web oriented component coming to you with the 6th, 7th, 8th (CS) and 9th (CS2) versions of Photoshop.

NB Photoshop CS3 doesn't include ImageReady. Surviving without this component is covered in the fresh version of "ASAP" video-course.

Before we actually got started with our lesson I'd like to tell about today's sample image. Suppose, we (you and me) want to sell pieces of fine art through Internet. We have registered a catchy domain name and now in the process of building a web page presenting one of our lots (don't you mind Narcissus by Caravaggio?). I've made most of the editing in Photoshop and saved the image as layered PSD file (download it here). Now it's your turn: convert this still image into an interactive and compact web page, using my hopefully humble prompts.

*Not all topics are available in the demo version. Click here to order the full version of the book.

Important! To play the embedded movies you need Macromedia Flash Player 6. If you can't see a red stripe after this word     click here to get the player from the maker's web server. Normally, the installation takes about 2 minutes or less with a 56 K modem.
Also with some not IE browsers, to see and navigate Flash movies you may want to enable JavaScript.
For example in Opera 7.5, pull down Tools > Quick preferences > Enable JavaScript
** Note, that the movie files may be pretty large (up to 1 Mb). So please be patient or switch to the silent version here or get full version of the book here.
