Hello,

I am creating a web page with Photoshop CS 8.0. The problem I’m having is that the text is compiled as graphix. Is there a way I can just have a text layer as text rather than having it compile as an image?

Thanks

Photoshop (PS) is a graphics program. Whatever you create with it, will be a graphic (image). Creating a web page from PS is not the best plan. You can make a comp, or a mock-up of the HTML document in PS, and then use elements of that to construct your HTML doc, using a program specifically designed for that task.

Using PS to create web pages is like baking a cake over a camp fire… It can be done, but the results would not be as good as doing it the proper way.

Well, that’s not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but thanks for the honest opinion. I guess my best bet would to creat the HTML code without the text, then edit the HTML in Dreamweaver or something of that sort. I’ll have to see what HTML editor we’re using here at work.

Thanks alot.

He could have lied to you and told you that PS magically breaks HTML’s text limitations, allowing you to use whatever typeface you want at whatever size, with any special effects you can come up with, positioned anywhere you want.

We’ve all wished for something like that over the years. It just hasn’t happened.

but thanks for the honest opinion.

Opinion?

I guess my best bet would to creat the HTML code
without the text, then edit the HTML in Dreamweaver or something of that sort.

Your best bet is to use the programs to do what they are designed for. Photoshop/Imagready is for prepping up graphics, and includes limited html facilities mainly for manipulating graphics, i.e., slices/tables and rollovers.

Actually assembling the page is done in a an HTML editor.

I’ll have to see what HTML editor we’re using here at
work.

Jump from Photoshop to Imageready. Slice up the graphic and remove the part that has the text. In the dialog palette for slices, change that slice from a graphic (.gif, jpg) to text.
Export the slices/HTML. Open the HTML in an editor or Notepad and add the text to the now empy box. You may be able to add it in Imageready, I can’t remember offhand.

Make a table with a cell of the same dimensions as the picture, set the picture as the cell’s background image. Then add whatever text you want on top of the picture.

Jeez, all I said was that his answer wasn’t the one I was hoping for.

Fact / Opinion… Didn’t mean it literally.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will certainly give this a shot, as well as the thing that Don mentione below!

Thank you both for your suggestions.

Yes. Use an HTML editor.

Photoshop is not an HTML editor; it is an image editor. As such, it creates images. You do not build Web pages in Photoshop; you build graphics in Photoshop, then use a Web page editor to place the images and text on a page.
