Is anyone using Adobe GoLive or Macromedia Dreamweaver? I'm trying out Adobe's GoLive right now and I haven't looked at DreamWeaver yet. I haven't a clue how to evaluate and decide which software I'd buy and pay for. It would help me a great deal to hear some opinions or thoughts.
I like how GoLive lets me use Photoshop files. Using QuickTime for animation works great. That means I could stop fiddling with some of the rinky dink smil stuff from real. Sometimes GoLive seems to have its own opinion what's what i.e. recognizing my files. I keep forgetting that the thing really likes everything being dragged into it. But that might be windows being ms-centric.
I wonder if software like GoLive is really overkill considering I'm using it for personal use. I guess I like the idea having everything in one place (software) for once and maybe cut down on all that typing. Learning the technology is another reason. Are GoLive and DreamWeaver mostly geared/used for industrial strength production?
I'm doing a few web mockups for a client and have set up a basic style of 'Georgia text 12/18px #333 colour'. I would love Photoshop and Indesign to render the type as dreamweaver. Is there anyway to setup the text to render the same as DW. I have attached a file as reference.
I have my webpage drawn out page for page in photoshop. Now what I'm confused about is the process of saving my design in photoshop, to cutting it up, to getting it on Golive to my domain.
I just brought Golive through the internet (education prices rule). They sent me the activtion code through email and are posting the software.
I have the trial version but the activation area is greyed out. Is there anyway of activation it or do I need to wait until the box arrives and reinstall the software?
For Adobe GoLive CS, how can I easily keep my navigation bar that is on my home page on other pages in my site? For example I have a button on my home page that is for the contact page. So on my contact page I want my navigation bar still at the top.
I have a jpg file that I must use as a background in a Dreamweaver project. There is some text embedded in it that I can't edit. I have tried using Illustrator and Photoshop but I lack experience so I'm probably missing something.
The file address is lecaff.fr/images/home_banner.jpg
trying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.
I am on Win7 on an AlienWare M17XR3 laptop with 16G RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series display adapter.I assume it's either in my PS performance settings which I have PS using 10413MB RAM and has over 350G scratch disk space. If it's not that I guess my laptop system performance settings which I've never tinkered with since I purchased it.
For labels, is the font decided in the general tab under text style or in the text component editor under the format tab? Are there overrides? There seems to be multiple locations for fonts choices when creating a label and I can't find a nice black and white answer.

I'm trying to copy editable text from a Word file into the text editor for GIMP. Before I upgraded to 2.8, this was possible, but now it seems not. I'm on 2.8.4 using OSX Mavericks on a Macbook Pro.
I'm a terrible speller and since GIMP doesn't support spell check, this was always my workaround.

I have a website I made and sliced in Photoshop. I thought I needed to open it in Dreamweaver and then insert my rollover buttons. Well I cannot get them in the position where I want them to be. It looks fine in DW but when I got to check it in IE the buttons are off and made worse when i change the window size.
Does anyone have a prefered method from going from Photoshop (save for web) to Dreamweaver and still maintain some sort of table layout? I can slice and dice my designs in Photoshop, but after I import the HTML file into Dreamweaver, there is no sort of table structure. Sure the HTML file displays the page and images, but I can't really do much with any text data on the page. Should I assume at this point that you must then create all of your tables? I keep hearing that it's easier to code straight HTML, but I spend so much time designing the page, that this can be very tedious, plus the learning curve. I know some template companies provide the PSD and the HTML, but I'm not sure if they are hand-coding the HTML.
Just got DW MX. Building a site from Colin Smiths book FROM PS TO DW- 3 steps...I built homepage in PS7, sliced and optimized in Imageready and then opened up dreamweaver MX, defined site etc.
When I open (in DW) the homepage.html link my page comes up but it has 3 extra slices in my left vertical nav bar and also 2 extra slices in the bottom of my main area.
I dont recall putting these in. Can I get rid of them? Will they screw me up later on if
I leave them(nothing is in the slices, they just highlight when mouse goes over?
I also went into imageready and PS7 to try to open up my old folder where this site that
I am building was and I cant find the folder anymore..and I KNOW i DIDN'T DELETE IT.
Does the folder go away once it goes into DW MX?
Do I only work in DW MX for editing and uploading from now on?
Since I installed Photoshop CS6 I am no longer able to launch Photoshop from the properties bar in Dreamweaver.This problem started when I installed Photoshop CS6, I was originally using Dreamweaver CS5.5. I upgraded Dreamweaver to CS6 but it did not correct the problem.
Additional information: When in Dreamweaver, if I select an image on a web page the icon in the properties window shows the PS icon but when I click on it I get the following error message:
Maybe this belongs in the Dreamweaver section but since the problem only started after installing Photoshop CS6 I thought this would be the appropriate place for it.

I have been looking but can't seem to find a good tutorial on how I can create a website using Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Anyone know of any good ones? I see talk of using ImageReady...anyone know of a good tutorial on how to do this as well?
Do you use PS to design your entire site or do you just do the graphics stuff in PS and then do the site layout in Dream weaver or another html editor? Im wondering what the pros and cons are to designing the entire site in PS would be over using DW for layout etc.
How does one convert some of the layers in a Photoshop CS3 graphic to an HTML image map with each layer being a hot spot? This would be very tedious (and not very accurate) doing it manually.

I need to know the best way to create a homepage marquee in Dreamweaver? Use Photoshop, Fireworks or Flash. Which is the best application to use creating the marquee?
I have always done up templates in photoshop and from there transformed that template into html in dreamweaver, but yesterday discovered in dreamweaver thast you can output these templates into css format web pages....... my question is which is better hand coding it your self or letting imageready do the job for you.
If you do an entire web page from image ready does it not leave a huge amount of unneccessary graphics in your file, and also from the point of search engine optimisation are you not leaving all your key wiords out as graphics? can you delete certain parts out in dreamweaver and re fill with html colors and text?
I'm exporting a Photoshop design into Dreamweaver. I know HOW to slice, but I'm having a hard time finding the reason WHY to slice an image for importing into Dreamweaver. Why not just import the whole image, as a single, whole image?
I'm also having trouble finding the best way to slice an image. This is all very new to me. I looked at a webpage I created almost 5 years ago (my first exposure to web design) and I sliced the top of the page into 3 images - I had two prominent images on either side and the middle was the background. I then divided the middle bar (with the buttons) and made each of the buttons their own slice/image.
However, I just came across a website where they ultimately have their design sliced into just three images - a logo, buttons and a top layer image.This is the site I came across: URL.....
My slicing looks something like the opening image under the "Killing the Clutter" heading of this website, not the closing image (their goal) under the same heading.
Why are they singling out the logo? Should I be doing this with my design?Why are they including all buttons within one slice, instead of individual slices? Is this OK to do? For purposes of the rollover image, I thought they had to be separated.They're not saving the background. Should they be? Unless they're importing the background as one large image.
who might recommend not slicing an image and doing stuff with code instead, but I don't have the knowledge to go that route and I have to slice the image.
I am having trouble placing a rollover image onto a Dreamweaver CS6 page. I use Photoshop 7.0 and the program Adobe Image Ready which came with it. I have been successfully placing my animations created in this older Image Ready software onto Dreamweaver pages.
I simply insert the image and the animation plays in live view, preview and on the web. I'm having trouble however placing animations that have rollover effects onto a web page. ImageReady gives me multiple gif files for the slices associated with the rollover instead of just one gif for an animation without rollover, and an html file if I want one. I don't know how to handle the multiple gifs and the html file.
I have done a find and replace and I am trying to capture the search results bu I cannot find any "save or export" options. Does anyone know how to copy this information?
