Imageready’s Supercharged Eyedropper

 

In previous versions of Photoshop, you could only use the Eyedropper tool to sample a color from other open images in Photoshop, but for some reason, ImageReady had a supercharged Eyedropper. If you clicked the mouse button within your image and held it down, you could leave your image window and sample colors from, well… just about anything—including your computer desktop or any other open application. Freaky! Fortunately, Adobe finally added this same power to Photoshop’s Eyedropper tool.

Got A Folder Full Of Images For The Web? Batch ‘Em!

Do you have a whole folder of images that you’re going to convert to Web graphics? If the images are somewhat similar, don’t do them one at a time—automate the process using actions. Start by opening one image from the folder. Go to the Actions palette (under the Window menu) and click on the Create New Action button. Give this action a name (something like Optimize as JPEGs) then go about the business of optimizing this one graphic into a JPEG for the Web. When you’re done optimizing it, click the Stop button at the bottom of the Actions palette.
