About adding content from Adobe applications


    Adobe GoLive revolutionizes the way you can incorporate content from other Adobe applications to save time and effort. Smart Objects, for example, eliminate the need to preoptimize images outside of GoLive. With Smart Objects, you can import source files in formats such as native Photoshop and Illustrator, and then use GoLive's Save for Web feature to create Web-optimized images.

    Smart Objects let you automate many common image-related tasks. For example, when you resize a Smart Object in the Layout Editor, GoLive automatically reoptimizes the image, keeping its appearance clear and sharp. Likewise, when you change the content of a Smart Object in another application, GoLive automatically updates the object's appearance on your Web pages. Smart Objects also streamline the process of adding sliced images to a page: GoLive automatically creates a table with cells for each slice.

    The versatility of Smart Objects extends far beyond automated image optimization. They also provide features that let you convert HTML text to an image, create multiple image variations from a single image file, and import text and graphics from Adobe InDesign.
