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.
View 4 RepliesI 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?
Â
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.
Â
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.....
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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 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.

I now Photoshop is not strictly for webdesign but has some capabilities with Image Ready.
I've never doene a webpage with Photshop myself, I use Dreamweaver.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust 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.
Â
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm designing a website with photoshop CS and I have created everything I wanted, then I brought it all into Image Ready, and did the slicing thing...
This is where I am now, what do I do next to get it so I can put it all together in dreamweaver?
I've made some mock up pages in PS and then sliced them in Fireworks and published. It works.
I have a few questions.
1. How should you add the content in Dreamweaver? I inserted a layer box and that worked, but...
2. Should I "punch out" areas for content? And then just put the correct color in the cell that is left?
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs 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 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.Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a slider for a site's Home Page, and specified a Stage size of 960 x 255 pixels in my Edge Animate document. When I inserted the .oam file from Dreamweaver (Insert > Media), the dimensions grew to 980 x 275 pixels. Manually correcting the dimensions does not correct the problem. The width remains wider, and a gap exists between the bottom edge of my animate object and the border graphic that overlays the object.

How do I correctly specify the stage size so it remains at the size I specify once I insert the .oam file in my page?
