(switching from Fireworks) web layout...

I am switching over from Fireworks to Photoshop for doing my web design layouts. Does anyone have links for good tutorials on the best techniques for being productive in Photoshop for this sort of thing?



for example:



Alt+Click layer to mask by layer below it (like paste inside)

ctrl+G to group into a folder

CMD + alt(?) click to select sub layers...



I am just not familiar with all the best and most flexible/efficient ways to do layout in Photoshop...

what monitor gamma do you currently use (1.8 or 2.2)



what Photoshop RGB working profile do you use



what profile are you converting to for the web (where exactly are you making the conversion)



you are on a Mac (this is a Mac forum)

I loaded up CS4 Fireworks to have a look to replace ImageReady, but Fw hit me with a wall of learning so I just went back to ImageReady...

Fireworks is scads better than Photoshop for laying out Web pages. I do all my prototype work in Fireworks. Popup menus and rollovers are very easy to engineer. It's also a lot easier to add text to your layout, do drop shadows, etc.

The type of work would be your usual web design - ie: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/01/07/textures-in-modern-web-design/



gamma: 2.2 to match all the non-macs out there

RGB profile: adobe 1998



but I'm really not asking about color issues. What I want to know about is layout workflow: selection, grouping, masking, yaddda yadda - all the quick and flexible ways that people manage the pieces of their designs

for anyone else reading who may be confused about the color issues, I would still ask:

%26gt;what profile are you converting to for the web (where exactly are you making the conversion) are you working on a Mac...

your link is way beyond my world, I look forward to this...
