I was excited to read about an automated system that would take a PSD, break it into its component layers, and display them all using XHTML/CSS. I was disappointed.
This tutorial shows you how to crop an image and lay out a basic web page.
yah, it's kind of noob(ish) but it might be interesting for some people. Thanks for taking a look! I'm new to this site so thanks for hanging in there with me harpastum!
In general, isn't it pretty obvious when a site has its origins in Photoshop versus being layered up from smartly used HTML/CSS/JS?
I tend to shy away from many company sites where this is obvious, am I alone? (I guess it's because I feel like: Hey, if you are cutting corners on real design, what else are you cutting corners on?)
Photoshop isn't a bad way to design a web template. The problem with knowing too much about the underlying tech is that you limit yourself in imagining what's possible (e.g. you naturally want to avoid too much css trickery). That said, I wish designers used Fireworks for doing compositions since it's much closer to the web's model and easier to convert.
