Import web page to PS?

[kim123]

Hi All!

I saw an internet quick time video once and it showed a guy working on a web page inside PS. Is there a way to import or "put in" a single webpage so you can see how big to make your graphics, etc?

Thanks,
Kim

A lot of people, including myself, will design the interface in photoshop, cut it into slices, and then export the images to reassemble in their page editor. I don't know if you can open a regular html page in photoshop, to be honest I've never tried!! [confused] If it works let me know.

O.K. Will do, Lompoc42. By the way, I've been wanting to try that. I think there is a good tut on here somewhere. I know I was just reading it awhile back.

When you do this, does it make your page "KB heavy?" That is what I would be afraid of. However, I'm eager to try it, as I'm trying to make a really colorful, fun site for my students in the near future.

Sorry, no html import into photoshop. The only thing you can do is make a screenshot sith an utility that allows you to zoom out so that the full web page is visible, and the import the image from the clipboard.
What you can do in PS is go to imageready and have the app generate some code for you (buttons, slices and the like). This you can export.

But PS' customs officers won't let you import html. (possible weapon of mass distraction )
