Help with Adobe ImageReady 3.0

Hey, if anyone knows anything about creating Image Maps with Adobe ImageReady 3.0 could you please help me? I have never tried making image maps before, either add me on MSN: [email]electric_circus69@hotmail.com[/email], AIM: LovableLemon606 or post what you know here. Thanks!! :D

I looked in the file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Photoshop%206.0/Help/Help.htm for image ready and came up with this

Creating image maps


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You can create image map areas using an image map tool or a layer.

Tool-based image map areas Are created using an image map tool--you drag in the image to define the image map area. You can view and set options for tool-based image maps in the Image Map palette.

Layer-based image map areas Are created from a layer--the layer's content defines the shape of the image map area. If you edit the layer's content, the image map area automatically adjusts to encompass the new pixels. You can view and set options for layer-based image map areas in the Image Map palette, however you cannot use the Duplicate or Align commands. To access these commands, or to move or resize the image map area by dragging, you can convert a layer-based image map area to a tool-based image map area.

If you plan to add a rollover effect to an image map area, it is often preferable to use a layer-based image map area rather than a tool-based image map area. For example, if you create a rollover button that displays a glow effect in the Over state, a layer-based image map area will automatically adjust to encompass the pixels that are produced by the glow.

Important: If you overlap image map areas, the topmost area is active.

To create an image map area using an image map tool:

1 Select the rectangle image map tool (), the circle image map tool (), or the polygon image map tool () in the toolbox.

2 For the rectangle or circle image map tool, select Fixed Size to specify set values for the image map area's dimensions. Enter pixel values in whole numbers.

3 Do one of the following to define the image map area:

With the rectangle or circle image map tool, drag over the area you want to define. Shift-drag to constrain the area to a square. Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to drag an image map area from its center.
With the polygon image map tool, click in the image to set the starting point. Position the pointer where you want the first straight segment to end, and click. Continue clicking to set endpoints for subsequent segments. Hold down Shift to constrain the segment to 45° increments. To close the border, double-click, or position the pointer over the starting point (a closed circle appears next to the pointer) and click.


To create an image map area from a layer:

1 In the Layers palette, choose a layer from which to create an image map area. (To use multiple layers in one image map area, first merge the layers.)

2 Choose Layer > New Layer Based Image Map Area.
