 |
|
OK, I have an image of a webpage layout approx 800 x 1300 I need to convert this to a layered psd. I know I can take the image and use the pen tool and cut each slice and make them all layers which is nuts. I also know how to slice up an image in PS and save as images and slices and did that, now all those slices that PS saved for me I need to turn back into layers that will sit in a .psd follow? But I can't seem to find a tutorial anywhere on doing this. I'm in CS3 and maybe I have been working too hard but this is boggling my mind. I see thousands of ready for the web templates all in Photoshop layered .psd's how are these getting done?
Hope this isn't that dumb of a question. |

Post was a bit dumb, as I messed around and found I can take any image, use the guides just like I use making slices but instead of slices use the marquee tool, snap to lines, control click layer via cut. Make sure you are on the background layer and it works!
No wonder why there are no tuts or articles on this. Is there somebody that has a tip or two now that I figured this out or am I OK?

Hi ralph,
It is impossible to split a JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, etc image into layers automatically with whipped cream on top. Slicing the image would be the nearest option you can hope to achieve. To have all the slices as layers, drag them into the same .psd document. The web templates you see are most likely fully designed with separate layers in Photoshop, then imported into a web building program such as Adobe Dreamweaver to be scripted and coded. |
