 Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2005 3:49 pm Post subject: Creating A Website With Photoshop |
 |
|
I stumbled accross a couple sites that offer free templates for download in PSD format so I was interested in what they meant. I downloaded one and opened it in PS and it brought up a complete web page. I included a sample below:
What exactly do the numbers mean and the little symbol next them but more importantly how do you convert this to HTML????
Also I am having a weird problem with PS. Whenever I try to save something as a gif, I get the following error:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks,
Chris |

OK I guess I should have searched a little bit. You create the site in PS, then send it to ImageReady, then it creates the HTML for you like that, am I right? I guess I can go from there. Wherever you need to put actual text that might be changing, etc. you just remove the cell which holds that slice and replace it with whatever you want, correct?
I can't believe this whole time I could have been making websites in PS!!! This will change everything........

Another question. Is it possible to open an HTML file in PSD format within ImageReady if you somehow link all the image files so you can work with the layers, etc....

hi chris!
first, no you cant open an html file in psd format.
second, when you have a template like the one you showed, its already sliced, which means all these numbers you see and the boxes around them will be an image. so if its already like that, all you have to do is hit "save for web" (i'm not sure if its called that, but its something like that) and then pick "html and gif" - now i dont know if this will work for you because of the error you mentioned. but thats it. photoshop will save the website in one html file (tables) and an image folder for all the "sliced" images. then you can change things in the html file (like plain white images to just td backgrounds -> less graphics to load) and youre done! i myself find it awesome and really easy.
hope the .gif thing works out for you!
**edit** you could probably open an html file (not really the html file) if you took a screenshot of it and then opened that in photoshop. that would probably work... |
