Imageready CS3?

[Newbe]

Hey

i know i used to use combination of photoshop and imageready to make simple animations

but no the CS 3 has come and i was wondering, what do you now use for making animations?

i really need some tool, that will enable me to make simple fade transition effects without having to know how to use flash...

thank you

imageready and photoshop are "all in one" in CS3 - you can do it now without having to swap back and forth

lol am i dumb or what

just found an animation window under windows-animation

thanks

[kristeejo]

no you're not dumb - I didn't know it was there til i read it somewhere.

[Newbe]

but i think it is better that way

[kristeejo]

Adobe CS3 has discontinued Imageready actually. While it still allows animation & export, it is NOT imageready anymore.

Adobe Forums help with Animating in PS3 without imageready: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05d5a6

Adobe got rid of ImageReady for CS3 in hopes that it would make a better inhouse product for them (Overall) with an integrated animation system. They seem to also be pushing more people to the Flash product for animation needs. Gotta Love the corporate mind set

it looks/acts exactly the same

CS3 is great however, like scorpio said, it has some functions that are not available.
So even though its less time consuming, it still wont help the way a profesional would need it too. So it takes you back to square 1.

I don't really like photoshop cs3 in the beginning but I like it now though. How I missed previous photoshop with imageready...

[DesignerRicky]

Yea photoshop CS3 is really good i wont lie.
I use it, and really enjoy its features.

i hated image ready - it was a memory hog and was unnecessary IMO
