just started learning dreamweaver. totally new to web design but been doing print for 9 years.
can i just go ahead and design a web page in photoshop and hand it to a programmer to "HTML it"??????

Matter of face,if you export your PSD to Web, and you have sliced the imgs,it will have you the HTML all done. All you need to do,is copy the photos and index that PS gives you into dreamweaver,and your all done.Well that,and make sure you resize the cells,they may become all dissarayed.

i appreciate your reply, now i gotta go figure out what slicing images in PS means... thank you.

I'd advise you to steer clear of using an image editor to design web pages. Use an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver instead

If you choose to design a page in PS, you can HTML the page yourself if you have Image Ready installed, as well. The problem with using an image editor is that they tend to create very dirty markup and too many images, so a programmer would need to clean it up first

Dirty, very dirty. I hand code 90% of the stuff I do because the stuff ImageReady exports is bloated and has 300 spacer images. Coding in DreamWeaver is a breeze.

I know what you two are saying,but you all need to upgrade or something. I use Photoshop cs and dreamweaver mx 2004,and I have never run into that. And 300 spacers? Man,what did you make that could do that, ya need to be more cairful when sliceing,and alow for stretch in the html
