About web graphics

The Photoshop web tools make it easy to build component pieces for your web pages or to output complete web pages in preset or customized formats.

Use layers and slices to design web pages and web page interface elements.

Use layer comps to experiment with different page compositions or to export variations of a page.

Create rollover text or button graphics to import into Dreamweaver or Flash.

Create web animations with the Animation palette, then export them as animated GIF images or QuickTime files.

Use the Web Photo Gallery feature to quickly turn a set of images into an interactive web site, using a wide variety of professional looking site templates.

For a video on designing web sites with Photoshop and Dreamweaver, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0200.

Tip of the day

Adobe® Flash® Player 9 can communicate with an operating system’s printing interface so that you can pass pages to the print spooler. Each page Flash Player sends to the spooler can contain content that is visible, dynamic, or offscreen to the user, including database values and dynamic text. Additionally, Flash Player sets the properties of the flash.printing.PrintJob class based on a user’s printer settings, so that you can format pages appropriately.
