Answer» I've been wondering. I see people design site templates in Photoshop, is it possible to actually transfer these designs to actual website with as least coding as possible? Im ok at designing on Photoshop and have rough knowledge on slices, rough but useful I know it's a pretty noob-ish question but w/e. If so, can anyone point out a good tutorial for it? I've look but haven't found anything useful. Thankssss! E: Move to webdesign please!Yes, but not REAL easy. just sorta kinda medium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otk9Lgvbykg And there are other such videos, which means : 1 .other people are doing it themselves, OR 2. they want to tell you to do it.Umm, well ( I know I didn't make it clear, my bad) I understand things like Nav bars, make the image then slice em' up. But, what I really wanted to know was that, when people make website designs, I mean the WHOLE things, how do they turn that in to a website? I watched this video >> http://designinstruct.com/web-design/create-a-clean-and-modern-web-design-in-photoshop/ which shows you how to design a website. How would you make it into website though? Would you actually have to code everything? Or is their a easier way around it? Like with the Nav bars.I never used Photostat to do a web site. So i don't know. Sorry. I used Adobe Dream weaver, still among the best. It uses templates. Quote from: Geek-9pm on December 23, 2010, 06:58:32 PM I never used Photostat to do a web site. So i don't know. Sorry.

Those tutorials were great. I've just looked over it but it seems great, lol Thanks a lot, I won't mark this as solve just yet because I'm pretty sure I'm going to bump in to some problems later Gimp is very similar to photoshop (poor mans photoshop or free image manipulation program).
