Creating Links In Images - Using ImageReady

green fairy
In this tutorial I will show you how to create links in your image. I'm shore there's a lot of different ways you can do this, but I'll just show you how to do it real easy.

1) After creating the image you want to add links to in photoshop, make shore the mode is set to RGB Color. Just go to Image -> Mode -> RGB Color.

2) Go to File -> Jump To -> Adobe ImageReady. Your image will now load into ImageReady.
For this tutorial I will be using this image that I found:
user posted image
I will make the buttons of this navigation bar into links.

3) Press K to select the slice tool in ImageReady.

4) Use the slice tool to create a square shaped slice where you want the link in your image. I created a slice around the first button in my image like this:
user posted image

5) Double click your slice to make this box appear. Use your own settings to create the link you want.
user posted image
Now you have made a link in your image!

6) Repeat step 4 and 5 everywhere you want a link to appear in your image.

7) When you've finished creating links, you simply go to File -> Save Optimized As... Save your image as HTML and Images.

That's all! The whole thing is saved as a html document, so all you need to do is include that html wherever you want your linking image to appear on your site.

Hope someone can make use of this. It's not at all hard once you know how to do it wink.gif

Wow that's pretty cool, I didn't know you could make images links in photoshop. What I did to make images link was just use php code. But that was a pain when I just had the image and didn't feel like getting the code.

Thanks!

Heh, nicely done. I rarely use PS layouts(mainly because I suck at them) but I never knew you could make the links IN IR o.O, I always had to seperate the pics and do it in the index file, heh, much easier.

you would go to Save Optimized As -> then just hit save, and wherever you saved it to go there, and there should be a folder called images, and then an html document, then just go into the HTML Document, add it to your layout... but be sure to upload the images as well....

Image Ready Links
Creating Links In Images

Does anyone know how to and multiple links in the same place? So that when the animation is scrolling through the place that says "click here" can go to different links? I am trying to recreate the Featured Physician animation on this page http://www.Mooreclinic.Com/

Thanks in advance!

I didn't know Image Ready was that handy!

That is way faster than the way I used to make the links in a image (Image maps of course).

  17. Exporting Transparent Images In Photoshop To Flash

    First of all, it is important that you make sure the image you wish to export is on a transparent

    background in the image to the left. In this example, I created a quick glass icon which has
    different levels of transparency. This is the image I will be exporting, whilst preserving
    it's transparency. Once your image is on a transparent background, head to file > save for
