I like to be able to put a small link in my photographs that when clicked on send you to the referring URL (website). I work mostly with .jpg. So not linking a whole photograph but putting somewhere in a corner a small link item.

You have to understand…links like that do not exist in the graphic, they exist in the HTML coding for the web page. You could slice up your jpg and make one slice a link in ImageReady.

This is not Photoshop, but HTML. It is possible to define a ‘hot spot’ in HTML over an image via an ‘image map’ with clickable areas, but it is not within the scope of Photoshop (arguably it can be done in ImageReady – but I recommend using your HTML editor).

The simple version of the html code to make an image clickable is:

<a href="http://example.com/image.jpg"><img src="http://example.com/thumbnail.jpg"></a>
