That works pretty slick...what's the shortcut to launch PS from within FP...I took the long & winding road - there must be a shorter way.
| John,
|
| You can also open your local web, click View folders, right click a blank spot ( or click the folder
| icon ) and create a new folder using FrontPage.
| Also you can add Photoshop as your image editor in FrontPage, then in then launch Photoshop from
| within FrontPage and then point Photoshop to your new folder to save the output. This way
| FrontPage knows the new folder and files have been created and all you have to do is save and
| publish. Everything will then be automatic.
