Version 2.0 addresses specific issues from the previous software version for enhanced performance.
I have recently tested ImageReady 1.0.1 and I'm pleased to say that it has some very noticeable improvements. The most significant of these are as follows:
Batch processing droplets now hold the Matte Color correctly. This feature is used to set the background color when processing files containing transparency, and in previous versions, it defaulted to white. Now, it works as it is intended to.
The Web Shift feature, that is used to change a selected palette color to a Web-safe color, now works correctly with images containing transparency. Previously, under certain circumstances, using this feature caused the transparency color to be dropped, meaning that it had to be reset.
Working with images containing alpha channels or saved selections is now much easier. Changes can be made using the Image Size, Canvas Size or Crop commands without any problems.
One particular feature that I've found very useful is that guides now lock to pixel boundaries, and all tools respond to the Snap to Guides feature, which makes it easier to work with.
ImageReady 1.0.1 also allows saving files over previous versions on Novell servers. This is a feature that will be appreciated by many users, and it shows that ImageReady is keeping up with the changing needs of its users.
Finally, when batch processing GIF, JPEG or PNG files using a droplet with the Save Original option enabled, ImageReady saves 24-bit versions of the files with the correct *.psd extension. Previously, it saved these files with the original filename (and incorrect extension). This is another improvement that will be appreciated by many users, and it demonstrates that ImageReady is constantly improving and evolving to meet the needs of its users.
