Where to find Save for Web - Powered by ImageReady - 2/19/2007 18:49:59
I'm using a "Total Training" CD to learn Expression Web.
When the instructor illustrates how to prepare an image for the website she is building, she uses Adobe PhotoShop to reduce the resolution of the image so it will load faster.
She mentions only "Adobe PhotoShop", but I see at the top of the screen "Save for Web - Powered by ImageReady"
She can look at as many as 4 different views of the image and compare different reduction percentages to make the decision as to how much she can reduce the resolution and still have an acceptable image for the web.
That's a feature I'd sure like to have but I can't justify the cost of Adobe PhotoShop.
I did a search on the Internet to try to determine if it is a stand-alone program but didn't find any mention other than Photoshop.
Does anyone know where else this feature might be found or where is something similar?
Thanks,
CJ

reducing the resolution won't affect the file size at all for the web! it's a waste of time...

I wouldn't presume to challenge a supreme overlord... but what on earth are you talking about?

"When the instructor illustrates how to prepare an image for the website she is building, she uses Adobe PhotoShop to reduce the resolution of the image so it will load faster." i assume you're talking about ppi (pixels per inch) or usually referred to as DPI (dots per inch) an image at 300 dpi is the same filesize when displayed for the web as one at 72dpi: one pixel is one pixel

If I am using the incorrect term, it would be more useful to correct my wording, not say that the process won't produce the desired result.

sorry - i'm not sure where the misunderstanding is, either on my behalf or yours :)
your instructor us saying that reducing the resolution reduces the load time, i'm saying it doesn't. reducing the size (say from 300px wide to 200px wide) and/or increasing the amount of compression (for a jpeg) will reduce the load time
