Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6

[Myhostv]

Not sure if this is the right area but I'll go ahead and ask it

I have Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6, I made a template on Photoshop CS6 but I need it to be transferred over to Dreamweaver. Does anybody know how to do this?

Moved to a more appropriate forum. 🙂

To answer your question, the .PSD needs to be sliced into parts, and then code needs to be written in HTML/CSS.

What do you mean "sliced into parts"?

The 'slice tool' essentially breaks your 1 image into many. I personally use it when I'm trying to have a 'button' within my image link to a specific URL.

This isn't good practice, but I don't even use the slice tool. I basically take the long way around and grab the images and export them myself. But it's all the same process: export the images and code the layout!

The slice tool sometimes is not good, for example if you want your logo to be transparent with the background or stuff like that, what you should do is plan you HTML like:

<div id="wrapper">
  <div id="header">
  </div>
  <div id="content">
  </div>
  <div id="sidebar">
  </div>
  <div id="footer">
  </div>
</div>

And then add thing on the DIVs, later code the css.
But anyway there should be a lot of tutorials on the internet, I am writing a book about it, I will tell you when I finish it
