Slicing PSD files for use in website (Was: Re)

bford225 Aug 28, 2014 5:52 PM

Hi i was wondering can photo shop be used as a mock up tool for websites ? 2. Can you slice a psd web file that can be used for making html files of a web site ? I'm asking because I'm wanting to make templates for muse or DW. For clients to use . Also to make a web site as a JPEG to showcase as portfolio

i took photography related classes so I'm teaching myself on the design from basics and use photoshop for other then editing photos

also does Photoshop touch have slice tool that can make psdx file of websites for on the go?

i noticed that DW or Muse does not have templates that's why I want to use photos for websites design

I use PS to create an initial design comp and for optimizing web graphics. But I never let PS (or any graphics app) generate my HTML and CSS code. Once the design comp is finalized, I use DW to translate the idea into a workable CSS & HTML layout.

This 3-part tutorial was written a while ago for Fireworks (another graphics app), However, the process is pretty standard no matter which graphics app you use.
