ptg 136 Chapter 6 After you create or modify images in Adobe Photoshop in the PSD for- mat, you can quickly copy and paste all or part of a multi-layered or multi-sliced image or insert the entire PSD file directly into Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver handles the integration and optimizes them as Web-ready images in the selected format (GIF, JPEG, or PNG formats). Before you insert a PSD (or any other image) into a Web page, you should store the file along with the site files, so the link (rela- tive path) to the file is always available and the file gets published when the time comes. When you insert the entire PSD file, Dreamweaver creates a Smart Object that maintains a live connection with Photoshop. This live connection allows you to update changes from the original image with the click of a button in Dreamweaver. When you copy and paste, a live connection is not maintained. Any changes to the original need to be manually updated again. However, Dreamweaver does remember your optimization setting when you re- paste it or use the Edit button in the Properties panel.
