Adobe Imageready Software

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is the graphics editing/designing software developed by Adobe Systems, released in March 2002 with the code name of Liquid Sky. It is Preceded by Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Succeeded by Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 got the Adobe ImageReady 7 which actually plays all kinds of rollovers, animations, etc inside the. The software code for ImageReady was integrated directly into the application of future versions of Photoshop as the Save for Web & Devices feature. Its functionality as a standalone application was superseded by Adobe Fireworks, starting with version CS3 after Adobe Systems acquired Macromedia in.

Adobe ImageReady is a discontinued bitmap graphics editor that was shipped with Adobe Photoshop for six years. It was available for Windows, Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X from 1998 to 2007. ImageReady was designed for web development and closely interacted with Photoshop.

Function[edit]

ImageReady was designed for web development rather than effects-intensive photo manipulation. To that end, ImageReady has specialized features such as animated GIF creation, image compression optimization, image slicing, adding rollover effects, and HTML generation.

Photoshop versions with which ImageReady was released have an 'Edit in ImageReady' button that enables editing of image directly in ImageReady. ImageReady, in turn, has an 'Edit in Photoshop' button.

ImageReady has strong resemblances to Photoshop; it can even use the same set of Photoshop filters. One set of tools that does not resemble the Photoshop tools, however, is the Image Map set of tools, indicated by a shape or arrow with a hand that varied depending upon the version. This toolbox has several features not found in Photoshop, including:

History[edit]

Adobe ImageReady 1.0 was released in July 1998 as a standalone application.[1] ImageReady was packaged with Photoshop versions 2.0 through 9.0 (CS2). Starting with Photoshop 7, Adobe changed the version numbers of ImageReady to 7.0.

v3October 2000Photoshop 6.0
v7February 2002Photoshop 7.0
v8 ('CS')October 2003Photoshop CS
v9 ('CS2')May 2005Photoshop CS2

With the release of the Creative Suite 3, ImageReady was discontinued. According to Adobe, ImageReady's features were merged into Photoshop only by popular demand.[2] (Even before discontinuation, some of ImageReady's web optimization functionality could be found in Photoshop's Save For Web & Devices tool.) At the same time, Adobe published Fireworks, which was originally ImageReady's competitor before Adobe's acquisition of its developer, Macromedia.

Photoshop version 6 is an older version of the world-famous picture and photo editing software which is hands-down, the best graphics application on the market today. It has become so popular, that 'to photoshop' has become an actual verb in most people's minds.

With that said, this version offered by Adobe offers you the perfect way to introduce yourself into the world of photo and graphics editing. It's a free trial offered by Adobe available for download immediately.

Some of the features offered by free Adobe Photoshop are working with layers, performing touch-ups on photos, installing and using plugins and preparing truly professional-quality artwork and image manipulation. This version comes packed with many cool filters and built-in plugins to get yourself familiar with Adobe Photoshop's suite of image editing features.

If you're running a newer version of Windows on a system with high specs, then you might want to try Adobe Photoshop 8.0 CS.
