PSD Website Designing Company Multan.
What is a PSD?
Simply
put, a PSD is a Photoshop design file.
Technically, it stands for Photoshop Document, which is a proprietary file type
from Adobe. Adobe’s Photoshop is the software most widely
used for web design and works best for the design-to-code
process.
PSD
files are typically opened and edited with Adobe Photoshop, but can be opened
with Adobe Photoshop Elements, and even certain non-Adobe products such as
Corel’s Paint Shop Pro and GIMP. However, programs other than Photoshop will
not be able to fully edit or even read the complex layers utilized in many PSD
files. Other advanced features within a PSD design may not be properly
recognized, either. We highly recommend working with Photoshop from the
beginning to ensure it will be universally accessible by
designers and developers who may be involved with your
project.
If
you’re interested in a free program to simply view PSD files as flat images (no
layers), Apple’s QuickTime, which includes Picture Viewer, will do the trick,
but you can’t use the program to edit a PSD file. It is purely for viewing PSD
files as images.
How Can I Create a Website with a PSD?
PSD
files can be “sliced” and turned into HTML code by a proficient web developer. PSD
to HTML services, such as The Site Slinger, specialize in just this. We take the PSD files and hand back HTML/CSS markup that’s
ready for implementation as a live site.
Sometimes
other file types are used by designers. While we may be able to work with PNG,
IDD, or AI file types, we highly recommend PSD files. Working from other file
types can require the added step of converting designs to a PSD file.
A
“good” PSD is layered, and well organized using folders and layer comps to show
different pages and states. Be sure to design all
animation states, and button states (click, hover, off). Read more of our web
design tips and check out the other resources below. In the end, we take
your design and turn it into code, producing a
website that matches your design pixel-perfect.
