An Ideal Solution to Upload Your PSD Files
by admin on Jul.09, 2009, under Uncategorized
Most of the web designers are facing the same problem of how to convert a Photoshop design (PSD) into a cascading style sheet format (CSS). You have many images and photos with you in Photoshop and Photoshop save these source files as PSD format. And when you try opening the file in Photoshop, you will be able to work on the same. As Photoshop is very good software for designing websites, but the problem with PSD is that you cannot upload PSD files directly into website. That means PSD files are designer friendly but cannot upload files directly into website. For that you need to convert that file into a language which is used for web publishing. The best convert format is to CSS or HTML type. So that you will be able to upload files into websites very easily.
The actual conversion from PSD to CSS is not a tedious one, but it requires some attention since you are not very good at it. Or if you decided to outsource the same to one who has the skills to code in cascading style sheet (CSS) format, ensure that the coding is clean and neat when you get the files back. Otherwise your website may not display the images and pictures correctly on the browsers. Because of the increasing number of browsers, as the popularity is shared between different browsing providers such as Fire fox, Internet Explorer etc., it is very much important that coding must be cross browser compatible. And it is evident that one cannot afford on any one browser. So make sure that your file will run correctly on all browsers. Few advantages on converting Photoshop design into cascading style sheet format are,
Cross browser compatibility: users should have the freedom to run images and pictures correctly in different browsers.
W3C Compliance: W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) are the developing and approving authority for web guidelines and web tools. So when a website meets W3C, it is equivalent to a quality certificate.
Hand Coded Mark-up: it must have the provision for hand coded mark-ups. Because most of the times handcrafted mark-ups are better than mark-ups produced by software.
