OK..I have all my images ready to go.."i think" now I want to go to image ready and slice them up and add html for my editor. HOW is the basic way to do this?? i am in a stump... I am redoing my site but i want to use photshop and image ready for my new site..yes i am just a newbie.
when i slice the image up, i want to preserve the place where i can edit my text in my html editor..how do I achieve this>? I still want the same interface or image BUT need to be able to edit the text in the editor as well. any advice??   |

I don't bother with ImageReady. I just park guides up all over the place (the locations where i want to slice the pic, and make sure i have it set to 'snap to guides.' I then make a 'save-as,' "tempfile" and then flatten the entire image.
Once that is done, I then choose the 'rectangular marquee tool' from the toolbox and, using the 'snap to guides' feature, click and drag across from one guide intersection to the next.
I follow up with a Ctrl-C (copy command), followed by a Ctrl-N (new file command), a Ctrl-P command (into the new file, which, conveniently enough, is exactly the same size as the section you copied off from your original piece), and i finish with a Ctrl-S of the new file* (name it whatever that particular piece is).
Rinse, repeat. You'll be done in a fraction of the time.
*Save each section as jpg at quality 8 (lower and you get the junk at the edges). If your original piece is limited in colors (i.e, no gradiations... just a set amount of colors, preferably less than 16), then save the parts as gifs. But, and this is important, whatever you decide (jpg or gif), choose one or the other, not both, for all your parts. |

I learned frontpage ages ago. Horrible program. Can't help you there... just wanted to state my disgust at Microsoft's pathetic effort in making a web design program. |

Well, i think the bad rap that Frontpage receives is justified. One of the most horrid of things it does is import a mass of code into your htmls, much of which isn't understood by non-Microsoft browsers. Also, my brother,who is a professional website/database designer, states that if you ever decide to take the work you created with Frontpage and work with it in other, more functional web design programs (Dreamweaver, Frontier, etc), all those html files have to be stripped of the excess coding. A time-consuming process. When it comes to Frontpage htmls, he charges for 'recreating' the pages from scratch... as it takes far less time.
Something to consider. |
