Why use ImageReady, when slicing can already be done in Photoshop?
Creating the HTML code using Photoshop/Imagready? I agree, excellent for users who are still a beginner and who don't want to learn much more. It's much better to just grab the sliced pieces and use a descent web editor and write the CSS for it. It also allows you to have much more control.
Al, creating that HTML code and then editing it like in that tutorial seems all pretty cool, but what they don't tell you is what you have to do when you decide to slice your images in a different way. Creating new HTML code in ImageReady? But you just manually edited that code on...100?.... pages!?
They also don't tell you what it means to have 100 HTML pages without CSS and 100 HTML pages with CSS in combination with PHP or templates.
Al, don't stare yourself blind on Imageready, Sitegrinder, Fireworks, etc. Try to see the global picture. Designing a web site is not just a matter of designing a nice page. It's also about maintenance and w3c validated code and maybe you don't see that importance right now, but wait until you have a few hundred pages on your web site. Imagine for example that IE7 is released and that it turns out that it causes an error in your layout. Imagine fixing all pages by hand....?
