kaz Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi guys,What aspects of photoshop do you need to know for web design? Do you have to learn everything?kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dain Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Depends on how much photoshop you're gonna use in your website.The tool you're gonna use the most is "Slice".Here i'll post a tutorial on how to design websites with photoshop. Its in spanish, but i think you can figure it out by just looking at the screeshots:Basicly you slice a part of the image and asign a value to it. A value can be an action, a link, etc.If you still ned help after reading (or rather, looking at) that tutorial, post here and i'll translate it for you.dain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paim Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 All I do is slice it into the main bits, and possible 1px wide images for repeating backgrounds etc, then code it in the css...I usually use them as background images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate570 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Wow, you mean you can create a simple image map with photoshop? Then what the devil am i doing by learning image maps and using paint to get coordinates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paim Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I wouldn't recommend an imagemap for the entire site however...try this for slicing:http://slicingguide.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dain Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I woulsn't use photoshop for any website unless it's desing-oriented. here's why:useless in old broswers that dont support graphicuseless for users that CHOOSE not to show graphicsuseless for blind or visual impared people.cant change size of images depending on the size of the monitorvery dificult to edit, let alone debug. you'd have to change the whole thing for any minor changethere are a lot more reasons, those are just some.dain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
