Adding Photoshop images
Designers have long used Photoshop for creating images for the Web and for laying out a Web page. GoLive Smart Objects let you add Adobe Photoshop files to a Web page with ease such that designers no longer need to create an HTML table from scratch to place all their optimized PSD image slices inside of them.
PSD files must be 8-bit images and can be sliced. The procedures for linking to sliced and unsliced Photoshop images differs somewhat, as noted in this section. For more information about working with Photoshop slices, see Working with a sliced Photoshop image, Working with slices during optimization, and Introduction to page layout. GoLive also supports JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PICT (Mac OS only), PCX, Pixar, PDF, EPS, Amiga IFF, TIFF, and TARGA file formats.
Note: GoLive does not let you edit the table attributes individually with a sliced PSD object. Photoshop provides the control and options you need for editing table attributes.
Unless your file is composed of layer-based slices, layered Photoshop files imported as Smart Objects are flattened into one image during the optimization and conversion process. Also, if the source PSD file is multilayered with a text layer, GoLive treats the topmost text layer as a variable. This gives you a powerful tool for creating versions of the source file with different text. For more information about working with variables, see Using a text variable in a Photoshop file. Otherwise, to keep the layers in a Photoshop file as distinct images, see Working with Photoshop layered files.
