Dreamweaver/photoshop Q
If you go to this link, you will see an image on the bottom left that has white corners. I am trying to eliminate those, to be transparent, either in photoshop or DW, but cannot for the life of me, figure out how. Cropping in squares is one thing, elipses are a whole different story.
Thank you in advance.

This is more of a Photoshop than DW question but I do have your answer.
JPEG files do not carry any transparency with them, thus you will always get white produced in the background of an image even if you intended it to be transparent. The only way around this is to use a different file type when you save from Photoshop such as GIF or PNG. The only quirk about PNG is that IE 6 does not support transparency in PNG files. So as long as your visitors are using IE 7 or later (or any other browser), PNGs work fine. If you are worried about IE 6, then save your file as a GIF. Just make sure when you change the format from JPEG to PNG or GIF that you delete the white background. In Photoshop the transparent background will appear as an array of many boxes whereas, white is just white.

I am a little new to this. I just wanna know if the 49.99 offer also lets me have after effects/ dreamweaver/ photoshop and so forth. I use these three programs quite often. I just wanna know if that is what the plan provides.

Dreamweaver/Photoshop Bug?
My System:
- Dreamweaver 8
- Photoshop CS
- iMac Intel Core Duo (OS X 10.4.8)
My Problem:
- I would like to edit the html in one or more of the
existing template files used by Photoshop CS's automated "Web Photo
Gallery" plugin. I have done this for two years with much success
on my old Windows PC system. When using the PC I would:
1) locate an existing template file (like "IndexPage.htm");
2) edit the html in FrontPage;
3) save the new file(s) to a new template folder; and
4) run the automated Web Photo Gallery plugin in Photoshop.
As I said, I've never had a problem -- until now.
- Now that I have migrated to an iMac, I am using a newer
version of Photoshop (CS) and instead of FrontPage, I now use
Dreamweaver 8. But get a load of this -- if I so much as "OPEN" one
of the existing template files that came with Photoshop CS using
Dreamweaver 8, and then "SAVE AS" over the existing file (no edits,
just an OPEN and SAVE), Photoshop's automated Web Photo Gallery
plugin creates web pages with "missing" html. I kid you not.
- Below is a sample of what the code in a "good" index.htm
file looks like vs. the code in a "bad" index.htm file. Remember,
the only difference between the template files used by Photoshop CS
when creating these web photo galleries is that the "good" template
is the original file from the installation CD, and the "bad"
template was that same file OPENED and SAVED using DW 8.
Good index.htm code:

Any ideas as to what is causing this error? I've tried a
number of things to help me isolate the issue. I assume that this
problem has something to do with the way that DW 8 saves html
files, or perhaps it has something to do with the way Photoshop CS
reads html files. The thing is that the two template files are
IDENTICAL when you compare their code -- what gives?
Thanks in advance.DWD,
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.
Based on your response, I think that you -- and perhaps others --
might be unclear as to the nature of my issue with Photoshop CS1
and DW 8, so I'll quickly reivew it again.
1. Photoshop CS 1 includes an "Automate" plugin called "Web
Photo Gallery."
2. This plugin includes several "templates" which generate
various web ready photo gallery formats when selected.
3. These "templates" are in fact a collection of html files
-- grouped together by template -- which Photoshop uses when
creating web ready photo galleries (once you've run the automated
plugin.)
4. These "template" files may be editted -- Photoshop's own
user manual confirms this fact -- and I have done so in the past
with much success. This gives me much more control over the final
web gallery files created by Photoshop (i.e. size & resolution
of images & thumbnails, gallery layout, CSS formats, etc.) than
is achievable by using the DW 8 web gallery function you mentioned.
5. I have never had an issue creating web photo galleries in
Photoshop using template files that I have "customized." Just to be
clear -- I customize the template file BEFORE I run the plugin, so
this is not an issue of my not being able to edit html files
GENERATED by Photoshop's plugin (I think.) Instead, it's an issue
of Photoshop creating web photo gallery files that are missing
random bits of code whenever I run the plugin using a template that
I have customized.
6. But here's the thing -- if I so much as OPEN a template
file in DW 8 and then SAVE AS over the original file, Photoshop
will create web photo gallery pages missing random bits of code,
even though this "editted" template file has EXACLY THE SAME CODE
as the original template file. When I revert back to using the
original template files, Photoshop generates web photo gallery
files with all of the code intact - no problems at all. What is the
deal?
7. I have only encountered this issue using Photoshop CS1 and
DW8 on my new iMac. I have never had this issue when using
Photoshop 7.0 and FrontPage 2000 on my Windows PC to achieve the
same end.
Is there some "invisible" code that DW8 inserts every time
you open and save a file? I cannot SEE a difference between the
code, file name and file extension of the original template file
and the one I opened/saved in DW8, so why on earth would I get two
different file results when running the "same" template through the
same plugin? (See the "good" and "bad" code example in my original
post.)

Background colors dreamweaver/photoshop
When I use the background color #FFFACD in a photo in
Photoshop and then place this photo on a page in Dreamweaver with
the same background color, the colors don't match exactly. The
photo's background appears lighter. Any ideas on how to fix this
problem?
Here's the link:

The right float image has this problem as well as some of the
smaller photos on the left.
Thanks!I am getting different values from the right float image from
the page using
an independent color picker. Here's what I get:
bg of picture #ffffce
bg of page #fffacd

Menus items keep graying out in Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Word -- ***?
I recently installed Snow Leopard on both my laptop and iMac, and now nothing seems to be working right.
The biggest problem is that several applications seem to have their menus "grayed out" whenever I try to open or save a file, rendering the application useless.
For example:
* If I try to open a new file in Dreamweaver, all the menu options are gray.
* If I try to save a document in Word, all the menu options turn gray.
* I can't "save" or "save as" ANYTHING in Pages, although the menu items don't turn gray. Instead, nothing happens, and the file never saves.
NONE of this was happening on Tiger.
I bought a brand new version of Dreamweaver and did a clean install. Same thing with iWork.
WHAT is going on? This renders several of my key applications essentially useless if I can't save files or work with any of the menu items.Also, to try to fix the problem, I created a new Account and have been using that.
This fixed the problem with some applications where I was having the "grayed-out menu" dilemma, like Photoshop, but didn't fix it in the other apps. -
Hallo liebe Community,
wenn ich Dreamweaver, Flash Photoshop etc. installieren möchte kommt dieser Fehler:
Habe das mit neu starten schon oft probiert habe Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit Version und es klappt nach mehrmaligem Neustarten immernoch nicht.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand helfen? =)
Gruß dhentzscOne last thing... I have seen a post that states that future versions of CS are 64-bit. That may only apply to some
RAM intensive apps like After Effects and Premiere and the optional 64-bit version of Photoshop.
Also, have you tried running the installer as Administrator? That may solve the issue. -
Colour matching, dreamweaver/Photoshop CS5
I'm trying to match colours used in Dreamweaver and PS CS5, so that if I make a faux background using Photoshop, it is the same colour as the colour I use in Dreamweaver. For some reason, even if I use hex codes, the colours look different when I preview in a browser.
Also, I can't use the PS CS5 eye dropper tool to sample colours outside of Photoshop. As soon as I move the eyedropper tool outside of the PS workspace, it becomes an arrow pointer again.
Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
SallyGIF for line-type graphics with limited colors
JPEG for photos or other rich complex graphics
PNG-24 for graphics with alpha transparency (masks)
Then it's a matter of selecting what file-size and optimization you're looking for.
Smaller equals faster but small can also mean lower quality (less colors for GIFs, more compression on JPEGs).
And turn off "save as sRGB" in Photoshop unless you know how to use color profiles and use color management systems.
For even more color madness: Some browsers support color profiles, Safari being one of them, whereas previously, web graphics didn' even include color profile metadata . This meant your computer just had to take a best guess at what color to display and which is why the 256 web-safe colors became such a huge thing - because at least those colors displayed well regardless of which computer or screen you were using. This is now no longer a problem as most displays support sRGB color space which is kind of a "lowest-common denominator" color space profile.
Anyhoo... that's probably more information then you need. Hope its interesting and useful. -
Basic Dreamweaver/Photoshop Question
I understand that you can build a layout in Photoshop then cut up the layout into pieces to bring over to Dreamweaver. But then what? Do you set them as absolute/fixed/floating images? I have wotked with CSS, HTML and know basics to Photoshop. Thanks.

I assume you mean "their". If so, don't do that. Don't ever
generate HTML
from Photoshop. Just save or export the individual images you
need and
construct ALL HTML in Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver & Photoshop start in background
Yep, they just start in the background in the task manager. The only solution I have found to work is to start the program (Photoshop or Dreamweaver) several times then once it pops up, kill the rest in task manager. For Dreamweaver, I can kill just one of the extra processes and it will close the rest for me. PS doesn't do this. I have to stop each extra occurence of Photoshop. This is a big waste of time for me.
I have CS3 - Dreamweaver and Photoshop seem to be the only ones having this problem since I reinstalled CS3.
Thanks a bunch,

Dreamweaver/Photoshop Photo Album and linking
created a photo album test in Photoshop so that I could
include security features such as watermarks. Once I created the
album I exported it to Dreamweaver where I have all my website
files. I am now having some challenges integrating the Photoshop
Photo Album within the Dreamweaver web site. Here are my
challenges:
1. I can't create a link out of the photo album to other
destinations within my web page such as the Home Page, Purchase
Pictures Page, etc. I need direction on how to enter text in the
page and also creating the links.
2. I also want to change the background color of the page.
How can this be done?
3. I would like to increase the size of the viewable area so
the large photo is even larger and the thumbnails are totally
visible without using the current scrolling mechanism. I would like
to take up the whole screen and have the ability to change the
color in the bakground to my choice. Additionally reduce the amount
of spacing between the large photo and thumbnails also.
4. Can I change the photo image descriptions which is
currently img_6173.jpg for example?
The test of this photo album can be viewed on
SurfingPicturesEast.com under the Football section and choose "Test
of Photoshop Web Photo Album".
Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered.
Mahalo
SPEI'm using PS CS3 and it has nineteen templates for "Web Photo
Gallery" and
most of those have various customization options. Other than
that you're
going to have to go directly into the CSS and the HTML to
modify the pages.
Design view in Dreamweaver is unlikely to be of much help to
you. If you
aren't comfortable with css and html you are going to have a
difficult time
with this. I too needed to add links that weren't created in
PS and I had to
do it in code view. If there is a way to make the pages show
anything useful
in design view I didn't find it. Maybe someone with more
expertise on this
can be of more help to you.
Good luck,
Alan
