Web page sizes
- the web is measured in Pixels
-- these 'pixels' are related to the actual amount of pixels there are across & down a screen
- the 'Resolution' of images on the web is 72dpi
- the Average MAX size of your web pages should be smaller then 960x620 pixels

Creating web pages using Photoshop
- First go in to 'Preferences' and change the units from 'inches' to 'pixels'

- The first page of all websites is call 'index'
* It is important to make sure 'index' is in lowercase because web servers are case sensitive.

- Go to: file --> new
-- name the document 'index'
-- make sure the 'Resolution' is set to 72dpi
-- choose a page size no bigger then 960x620 pxls
-- 'Color Mode' = RGB
- Save your file
- Drag & Drop images from one of your folders into Photoshop

* This is your work space. Collage, blend, cut out & interact. Make sense or chaos out of the images you found on the internet. DO NOT USE TEXT!

- Save your file

- Slice up your file
* Slices have many advantages like a faster and more dynamic load time
* You can make links from slices in Dreamweaver!

- Save for Web (and Devices)


Web File Types
JPG - RGB - Photorealistic, small file sizes
GIF - Index Color - limited to 256 color, can be animated, can have transparency
PNG - is the best of both worlds but currently PNG files can only be used in Flash
