I've been playing around with Subdreamer for about a year, and have played around with skins using Photoshop for the graphics and Dreamweaver to put them together, I had a play with Image ready tonight and found out that every layer can made into a slice and that Image ready will then create a tabled design based on the slices.

It that how everybody else does it? I know I may have discovered something really simple, that you all know about! :P

Is there any good tutorials you guys know of on how to do this exactly? Don't have a problem with the coding but I don't know squat about creating the graphics.

Image ready IMO is one aspect of PHotoshop that is a must have. Image rollovers and more...gotta love it.

These programs are great, but the fastest way to create these tables and code is via css.

Writing it becomes a snap after practise.
If you want to make your skin ie compliant ready, you still need to add some inline style formatting to override any changes a forum makes.

padding:0px for ipb and display:block with images. I'm finding it easier now to add the inline styles while I'm making the first design. It's a lot less effort later on. I'd rather not turn quirks mode on if I do'nt have to.

I used Photoshop and DreamWeaver for some time... DreamWeaver is "the best" or thats what people says, but I've been using Rapid PHP ( and finally i did buy it today lol) and i can say Im learning much more than using Dreamweaver... I know, I know, is not WYSIWYG but it works great!!

Now i use Photoshop but just to make designs and slices not the HTML file... before i used Rapid PHP I had PHP Designer, Works great too but dont have CSS support as Rapid PHP... thats why i used TopStyle Lite but is too limited the free version...

If you want to learn more you can use something like that software, you can make some snippets to make easier your work...

Good Luck!!
