IR (stands for ImageReady) has to be installed
on your computer during the typical Photoshop installation.
Run it now independently or switch to it from PS (Photoshop)
either by clicking on Jump to ImageReady
button at the bottom of PS' Toolbox or using [Ctrl+Shift+M]
shortcut. Similarly, you can switch from IR back to PS.
The two applications are designed for joint work.
As you can see that the IR interface is very similar to that
of PS: the same workarea with the Toolbox,
Options bar and several other palettes. However you
can note a few differences.
1. Image window has 4 tabs allowing us to view
the original image and / or previews of Web optimized versions (screenshot).
2. There appear some new palettes.
3. A few different buttons on the Toolbox.
4. One new pull-down menu (Slice).
And lots of minor differences in pull-down and context menus, shortcuts,
palettes, etc.
