Infinite Skills’ “PSD to HTML Using Photoshop and Dreamweaver” Teaches Essential Tools for Converting Image-Files into Web Design Elements
(PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. last week introduced its “PSD to HTML Using Photoshop and Dreamweaver,” an advanced-level course exploring how to work between the two programs to convert Photoshop images into the elements of a webpage using tools in Dreamweaver.
Websites containing a high-degree of graphical sophistication are often created by preparing images in Photoshop and transferring them into Dreamweaver, where the image files are adapted for the HTML environment.
Infinite Skills’ PSD to HTML Using Photoshop and Dreamweaver offers focused, advanced-level training on this process, explaining how to design elements like buttons and banners that can then be separated out using slicing techniques, and then converted and loaded into a website.

Course author David Plate is a software training professional with expertise in visual communication and web design. He is an Adobe Certified Educator and Education Trainer. In addition to teaching web design with Adobe software at the college level, Plate currently runs his own training company
Following an introductory overview of PSD to web conversion, Plate dives into the course project, explaining how to create a mockup with PSD files. Here, users learn how to use Photoshop to work with the initial images, creating a color pallet, setting up document size and image resolution, creating the navigation, and more, before learning how to slice the mockup and save it in preparation for conversion.
The following chapter explores the next step in the process, as students learn how to move PSD files into the Dreamweaver environment. Here, Plate teaches how to organize files, set up and manage a new Dreamweaver site, and how to use Dreamweaver tools to control the image files.
Next, Plate demonstrates how to convert the files in Dreamweaver, exploring tools like how to add titles and tags, replace placeholder slices and text with HTML using div tags, working with style sheets, and adding hyperlinks.
The course then closes with a chapter on testing the site using Dreamweaver’s live view.
“By using Photoshop and Dreamweaver together,” Plate says, “you can build powerful graphical elements and tie them together with the proper HTML code to create a professional quality web page.”
