This may sum up the thread pretty well.

Photoshop is not a design program. It is an inferior tool to set paragraphs of type or play around with layouts.

- As if HTML rendered great type. It doesntmonospaced
- So, you're indicating InDesign is the first choice for web layout?ETM
- InDesign can't even output true 1:1 pixels, in my experiencemonospaced
- DESPITE having digital presets and modes and pixel measurements. It just ain't the same.monospaced
- that's laughable, and what do you do with your awesome type job when you put it to HTML?zarkonite

Listen, with respect, if you are still learning how measurements in the design industry work, you may not wish to tell us what is and isn't a viable design tool and what they are for. Cheers.

I'll never take advice from from Mr Stupid Questions, aka omahadesigns. In fact, according to him, I'll need to contact all the studios I code for in LA to inform them I can no longer accept .psds and that they should immediately stop preparing them for production. We'll just have to figure out something else as we cry over all those jobs we've already completed with them using PhotoShop... Dipshit.

Production files should be PS, but the actual design process is a nightmare in PS. Who can design like that? You don't design anything else in PS, why should you design a website? It's built for editing photos.

maybe in the first few early iterations of PS. it is worlds above where it started. if you are designing for web using Illustrator or especially InDesign, you are doing it wrong. plain and simple.
this shit makes me laugh.

Fuck it, I am going to use InDesign to create logos and Illustrator to publish brochures and catalogs moving forward!

Yep. I just did my latest site design 100% in InDesign. I then screen captured it and dropped the image in a table. It looks slick. The only downside is that each page is around 22mb and Google doesn't seem to see any of my content. I am particularly proud that it seems to render the same in all browsers. Also, has anyone heard when the next upgrade for Netscape was due?
- With all respect, you need to take another hard look at InDesign, my friend, and maybe rethink that statement.monospaced

If only Adobe had a hybrid program that does pages and type like Indesign, logo capabilities like Illustrator and pixel precision of PS. That would be the ideal web program.
