Create mobile content with Adobe
Device Central and Photoshop
Start Photoshop.
Select File > New.
Click Device Central to close the dialog box in Photoshop
and open Device Central.
Select a content type.
The available Devices list on the left is updated
and shows the devices that support the content type selected.
In the Available Devices list, select a single target
device or multiple devices (or select a set or individual device
in the Device Sets list).
Device Central lists proposed document sizes based
on the device or devices you selected (if the devices have different
display sizes). Depending on the design or content you are developing,
you can create a separate mobile document for each display size
or try to find one size appropriate for all devices. When choosing
the second approach, you may want to use the smallest or largest
suggested document size as a common denominator. You can even specify
a custom size at the bottom of the tab.
Click Create.
A blank PSD file with the specified size opens in
Photoshop. The new file has the following parameters set by default:
Color Mode: RGB/8bit
Resolution: 72 ppi
Color Profile: SRGB IEC61966‑2.1
Fill the blank PSD file with content in Photoshop.
When you finish, select File > Save For Web
& Devices.
In the Save For Web & Devices dialog box, select
the desired format and change other export settings as desired.
Click Device Central.
A temporary file with the export settings specified
is displayed in the Device Central Emulator tab. To continue testing,
double-click the name of a different device in the Device Sets or
Available Devices lists.
If, after previewing the file in Device Central, you
need to make changes to the file, go back to Photoshop.
In the Photoshop Save For Web & Devices dialog box,
make adjustments, such as selecting a different format or quality
for export.
To test the file again with the new export settings,
click the Device Central button.
When you are satisfied with the results, click Save in
the Photoshop Save For Web & Devices dialog box.
Note: To simply open Device Central from Photoshop (instead
of creating and testing a file), select File > Device
Central.
