Rethink the Old “Save for Web” from Photoshop CS3

Because the integration of Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver is here.

Now that you can directly place Photoshop CS3 files into Dreamweaver and optimize through Dreamweaver, there’s no need to optimize in Photoshop. Once the graphic has been imported into Dreamweaver, if it is edited in Photoshop at a later date, all you need to do is right click on the image in Dreamweaver and select, “optimize” (this little step took me a while to figure out) and the latest version of the image is updated.

So “Save for Web” is gone. ImageReady CS2 (much to the dismay of some) is gone.

I only have two observations thus far. First, I’m not sure why anyone would purchase Adobe CS3 for Web, except perhaps it’s support for legacy Contribute and Fireworks. And second, I wish that the update in Dreamweaver of Photoshop files was more automated. Perhaps it is, but I’m just not finding any one-click button or link palette.

    I really can’t understand why Adobe have removed save for web. It was probably the main reason i used Photoshop. Its a massive step in the wrong direction especially now Imageready is no more.
