I have adobe dreamweaver and photoshop. I took a paid class on how to design websites which was a waste of time I think or I wouldn't need to ask questions on here. (no refund) The class I took mainly had book knowledge and a very small of amount of demonstration. I have the book knowledge I believe but putting it together seems harder than I thought. Sorry for the rambling. Here is my problem: Firstly, I'm trying to create a html site which consist of seperate css. Secondly, I bought a really nice graphic navigation bar with other web elements. It's like 96 graphic elements on one page with different layers for each element. Other than the one navigation bar that I need. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to take that navigation bar from that page and keep all the layers, save it as a jpeg. Then from there, figure out how to input this item on website in adobe dreamweaver. I know this is seriously newbie stuff but any help would be appreciated. I tried to contact the individual I bought the item from they're taking their sweet time getting back to me so I'm trying to figure it out myself. I'm at a loss. I'm new to adobe Photoshop as well.
I'm sorry... Ooph, it gets worse... But at least you've got a good head on your shoulders and understand all that. Throw the steaming pile of bloated overpriced idiotic BULL known as Dreamweaver in the trash, go get a flat text editor, and make HTML and CSS files as normal flat plaintext. Hell you can use notepad in a pinch. (though I suggest a replacement such as Flo's Notepad 2, editPlus, notepad++, etc, etc). Generally speaking the only thing you can learn from Adobe is how NOT to build a website, and by the time you know enough to use Dreamweaver without the result being total crap, you don't need anything it does anyhow. I've been working on websites for fifteen years, and I have NO CLUE what that even means -- do you mean some off the shelf template nonsense? If so, IMHO you got ripped off... off the shelf templates and design elements are almost always steaming piles of /FAIL/ that have no business being used on websites. The mere mention of "layers" probably means you have your head stuck in 'visual first' thinking for design and development, which is a bit of a 'cart before the horse' approach. If all you're going to do is dick around in Photoshop with images, you'll never build accessible responsive design. That you are even THINKING images and appearance before you have semantic markup of content or a reasonable facsimile, tied to a working CSS based layout indicates you are coming at this from completely the wrong approach -- MIND YOU, that's not your fault, putting the cart before the horse has become an accepted industry wide practice thanks to the sleazeball fly-by-night scumbags who write books and teach courses on the subject, and the artsy fartsy types who have come to rule over the industry with their form over function inaccessible crap JUST because it's flashy looking. Who cares if it's actually useful to visitors... Are you able to make semantic markup of your content with a logical document structure? Are you able to bend that markup to your will with CSS to make your layout? If you know how to do those, slicing up and/or creating images to make element appearances (preferably dynamic so they can adjust to different targets and preferences) should be a no-brainer... ... but if you weren't taught how to make semantic markup, how to use non-semantic containers for style applications, the difference between content and presentation, or the general POINT of using HTML and CSS in the first place.... yeah, you're gonna be a little confused. More so if you're trying to take some goofy pictures of a toolbar and turn them into something functional -- MORE SO if you had your head filled with presentational design asshattery in tools like Dreamweaver. Since the only thing about Dreamweaver that can be considered professional grade tools are the people promoting it's use. Sorry if that seems a bit harsh, but some decade and a half into doing this stuff my disgust with the industry as a whole knows no bounds, and I tire of seeing people being led down the garden path by the same broken halfwit methodologies, outdated techniques, incorrect ideas, and just plain bad advice.
Hopefully deathshadow's post got you researching in the right direction. You will find that there is a lot you can do with CSS and it may well negate your need for images in many circumstances. Start off with the basics - make a simple page (in a text editor) with a few words/sentences on it and then style it with CSS, manipulate the positions, add margins, padding, borders (change the colours and style for each one), etc. Just so you can learn about manipulation with CSS (I am not telling you how a page should be styled).
Actually, what I was trying to was import a image into dreamweaver. I found out how to do it on youtube. Then my second question was, how to take 1 image from 96 images in photoshop. All the images were on one page which I bought to use on the website. After asking on several boards which I didn't receive an answer. I started playing with the images again and a light bulb went off. Deleted what I didn't need. I know designing web pages maybe complicated but having dreamweaver does help me. I can see the code as I design which I probably won't need dreamweaver after a while because of the code will make more sense to me.
