1. Re: How do you include a web link in a file?
Mike Gondek2 Jun 1, 2011 10:45 AM (in response to SupersoulVP)There are a couple ways to do this, adn the first thing you want to decide is what file format your want your destination to be.
Acorbat and InDesign - pdf single file
Illustrator or Phothsop = html file with either swf or bitmpped format for linked images
What you did Phothsop will work, you just need to send the "images folder " along with thath so that the images can link up relative to the location of the .html.
I like using Acrobat, cause you have some the most contol and options for creating the link.

2. Re: How do you include a web link in a file?
SupersoulVP Jun 1, 2011 2:18 PM (in response to Mike Gondek2)Thanks for the quick response, Mike.
Everything you said made sense. I do not have Acrobat or InDesign, so I was going down the Photoshop route to try to pull this off. I could get things to work by attaching both the images and html file, but it gave a mixed result depending on what kind of email program was being used to open it up with.
The solution for my means turned out to be simply dragging an image into Thunderbird, double-clicking on it, and assigning a URL. That way it really didn't come up as an attachment, but just as a photo within the email that happens to be a link people can click on.
Thanks again for your help. I accidentally clicked on your response as being only "helpful" when clearly it was the correct answer.
