    Hello all,

    I'd like to know, many people are saying that you can code a .psd with photoshop via slicing it. Is there a tutorial on how this can be achieved?

    If there is a tutorial, could some one share a link with me, I'd really like to learn what is required to code a .psd. I have photoshop cs2, I just need to know how to code .psds! :)

    I've always wondering, maybe I can some how put some thing into action!

    Mr.tyro: Where could I find this 'slicing tool', I'd like to experiment with it.
    Lonesight: If you're doing it for free, then sure thing. :p But at the moment, I'm looking to learn and code one of these .psds of mine. ;)

    you can just save the pictures as web after you slice it and use a dreamweaver to open it and edit it with the scripts and such or if ur more on an advanced lvl you can also use note pad to do so

    I don't slice Photoshop files. I prefer to grab individual Photoshop layers and save them as separate graphics for inclusion in a Web page.

    I also tend to avoid large areas of a single color in the .psd (like background colors for instance) since I can declare those in a stylesheet. If a layer has the same background color as the rest of the file, then I just apply a transparency to it and drop it into the Web page.
