Abobe really needs to add this feature back into its latest version, its a step backwards if you ask me !
The import movies is also not available in the CS4 64bit version… looks like im going to have to re-install CS2 !!!

Yeah buy CS4 to have to revert to CS2 !! way to go Adobe !

Really? I can’t really remember Image Ready that well now. It has been removed since CS2, but I don’t have any problems with slices in Photoshop CS3. If I had one wish it would be for layered slices like in Illustrator. Nothing like having to duplicate files just for multiple language slices. Would be nice for example to group your slices into French and English sections.

Also save for web and devices will save all your image optimization settings, just remember to hit done or save.

Not NEARLY with the ease that you can cut up, name and export with Image Ready. It is very difficult and time consuming with Photoshop.

You have had the ability to slice from Photoshop for a long time now. This functionality has not been removed.

Forget animated gifs. How do I simply slice up a page in CS4 Photoshop with no Imageready? This really sucks that they get you dependent on it and then abandon it.

Hi, I was just trying to create an animated gif in CS3, when I found out as pointed out previously that imageready is no longer a part of Photoshop, however when I upgraded from CS2 – CS3 it didn’t delete my installation of CS2! Imageready CS2 still works fine, but none of the other packages do!! Bizarre!!, Check your hard drives to see if imageready is still there and working

Worst part, you CANNOT do this on a Mac. There is no entry place for *.*, and no selection for type.

Way to go Adobe. Way to go.

Papa, I use that short cut every day about 25 times, it’s still a lot of keys for such a common shortcut.

As for using fireworks, that’s great if you own fireworks, but for simple animations Photoshop and Image Ready worked fine for years. I know that most likely Adobe wants the ability removed from Photoshop so people have to use Fireworks, but obviously a lot of people prefer using Photoshop for this if traffic to these two articles is any indication.
