Photoshop and Flash

Question

I heard that is possible to have photoshop help out with
projects and even movies. My friend has an early version of
photoshop, and I was wondering he could do to contribute to some of
my movies?
Can someone give me a few examples?

Answer 1

Your question is still a little weird to me - I have never
heard it asked before - let's start with
some obvious questions: what version of flash do you have? If
you have CS3 then integration with
photoshop is easier with the PSD importer.
As to what photoshop can do with Flash - absolutely nothing
based on how you worded the question -
photoshop is what it is, and flash is what it is - photoshop
doesn't "do" anything "with" flash.
But I think you might be asking what can you do when you
combine these 2 programs as far as making
images and then animating them in flash...? Is this the
question?
It's hard to say because people have been importing images
from photoshop into flash for so many
years and for so many different reasons that the answer is
simply...anything your imagination can
produce (for the most part).
Jib Jab imports body parts from cut up photos for animation
in flash while a photographer will build
a flash gallery with XML in flash using images that were
saved from export (or any graphics editor).
Really hard to answer your question because it is like asking
can images be used in flash when they
can and it has been practiced for years and millions of
websites already online showcase this. Best
bet is to go to a site like www.thefwa.com and see for
yourself.
hope this helps.
