Hi Everybody,
I'm wondering which is the right and easiest way to create a new hero banner oder header picture for online applications
At the moment I'm working with two different ways:
Way 1. Import to Photoshop and crop the picture to the right size.
disadvantage: Photoshop is just able to show one page, so you have to create for different layout options different layers and switch them on and off to compare
Way 2. Import to InDesign (web-setting with pixels)
advantage to photoshop: I have more pages and could create for every design a single page. It's easy to compare the different pictures;
After designing I can export a jpg or png directly from Indesign
Does anybody know which is the best and right way to create such a picture?
Maybe I'm completely wrong with my two ways and I should use an other software?
Thanks for your recommendations!

The use of the Art Boards feature in Photoshop may be helpful.
Look this video:

I dindn't know this Photoshop tool before and will test it.Do you generally thinks it's better to export a picture from Photoshop than from InDesign?

I always would prefer working with Photoshop for web images because of its specific image manipulation tools.
But if you have to work with ready made pictures and some text then ( I think) it doesn't matter.
