Hi there. This video is all about how to export our CSS our image is everything we need to build a website from our mock up. Even if you don't plan on doing web design in Photoshop hang around because there's some pretty cool export settings that you might use for say print or social media exports. It's worth watching. Hang about. Let's get started. Okay. I cheated. I took our example from the last video and did a whole bunch of extra work So you can skip to here and go to file open and then your exercise files, there is a file called web design example. Open that one up. If it's asking for missing fonts, just click cancel. Don't worry about updating them for the moment. So basically this is just a Photoshop document. Nothing special. There's text boxes, there's images. I've done some cropping to some of them. I've added some green filters to this. I've ignored doing the tablet just because I'm lazy. But let's say I've got a desktop view, a mobile view and a tablet view and the client ...

likes it. They've signed it off and they say, yeah, I like the designs. Can you go and start making this now if you are just the designer. Okay. You're just working in Photoshop and then that's it. You don't want to touch the html and CSS you want to hand this off to somebody else. There are things you can do to make their life easy if you're like me and you like doing the extra stuff. Do you like doing the front end web design, you can also pull information out of here to make your life easier. In something like Dreamweaver, let's say it's this font here. If I send it to my web developer friend mel, he says, what font is it? What size is it? And I have to create this kind of like big long list of what it should be. Otherwise I send them jpeg and he guesses that's no fun. So information that I can give him that make sure that it's going to be perfect. I make sure I click on the right layer so it's selected. I can go up the top header layer and there's this option, copy CSS. CSS is the styling of the font. Nothing really happens. Right? Just copy it. And then what I can do is I can paste into an email or into the dock like this. I can just paste in the CSS and it's going to tell him lots of information. Probably more than he needs, but he's going to know the font size, what font family I'm using what color I'm using the line high. Whether it's centered all sorts of super useful information. If you're a developer, you might do yourself a favor and maybe can you see it's used? It's created the class based out of the name. So you might give it a different name instead of just letting it be layer one. Or let's make this, you can call this maybe H one, there's bits in here they don't need, but if you're not sure seeing them everything and they'll be able to pick out the bits they need. Probably don't need any of that. Well that now if Malcolm comes back to me and says, hey, I've picked this font and there's nothing like this, I can say, hey, what happened? I sent you the perfect details. So it's not just for text, it's useful for boxes. So this big rectangle that I've done up here for my navigation, I can have it selected here, I can go to layer, I can go to copy CSS the same thing in a text document or an email. I can paste it in. Okay, so there's my never there's the color capacity for it as well. I'm probably not worried about position, but definitely the height that's going to match my mock up perfectly. So you can just work your way around building up a list of titles subheadings, body copy just to ensure that your website gets matched perfectly. So let's getting out the text, let's look at the images. So let's say this image in the background here. This fella, the way to make this easier is to name the layer. Okay, so I'm going to drag it out here when you name the layer, this is what the jpeg is going to be called. Okay, so that's why I've put hyphens in here because it's best to have images for websites that don't have spaces, they have hyphens or underscores and I'm making sure that I'm using S E O friendly words in this case is not particular search engine friendly, but you get the idea, let's say now I want to send them this background graphic. All you need to do is right click it and there's an option in here that says you can see this is quick export as PNG. For some reason the default is a PNG. It's not something that I use very often. So what you can do is you can go to your preferences and change this quick export to jpeg on a Mac. It's Photoshop CC preferences go to general, not a p c. It's in the edit right down the bottom. You'll find preferences down here under export. Okay, I'm gonna switch this to Jpeg. So Jpeg my favorites depending on whatever your quality favorite is. I'm going to go 60 click OK. And it means now this graphic here, I can right click and just go quickly export tell it where I wanted to go. Was going to go on my desktop and this is going to be images for website and you can see it defaulted to jpeg used the name of that layer. And hopefully now I'm a desktop, there's my images for website, there's my topic. Alright, back into Photoshop. Now if you have a person who used to use slices just so you know, slices don't get used anymore. You can use them, but this is an easier way of doing it. Same with this image here is a little practice. This guy here, I've given it a good name, I can right click it go too quick export as J peg it saved, you can see how much quicker this is. Now, let's have a look and there it is, there another cool thing you can do is let's say I invert this right, click it quick export as J peg save replace. You can see you can get a nice little flow of getting these images out ready for your site. Let's look at one last little trick you can do when you're exporting stuff for websites, it's called adobe generator. So first of all, I'm going to file save as, because I want to show you a little trick, so I'm gonna stick it on my desktop, this is going to be called dance tricks, just because I couldn't think of a better name and we're going to turn on this thing called file generate majestic. So we're using it for website design, we could use this for, say, social media export what it's useful for is over here. I've got this thing called image books. If I give it the extension JPG for jpeg and click return. What ends up happening is Photoshop on my desktop dan's trick assets. So there's the PSD that I made, it's automatically generated. This hyphen assets folder in here, can you see, I've got this one called Image Books. Anything you add an extension to will actually automatically create. Let's have a look at this one here. So at the end here dot j p G without doing anything else. They're the same. Go on. And it's kind of like a live dynamic thing. Let's go into here. Remember we inverted this inverted back. You don't have to do anything else but you can see Image books is updated. So it's kind of a nice live thing, let's say these icons here, these icons transparent, right, there's holes in them. So this one here, I'd rather be dot PNG because we know PNG's PNG allow for transparency. So just give it the dot PNG, check it out. There's a PNG ready to go. So for that to work, you need to have saved your file, make sure you've turned generate on, it's going to take on and nothing really happens. Right until you start naming things with P and G S J pigs, Photoshop goes and exports them, putting the color effects off, let's save, jump back out here. I should have a black version. If you want to stop updating you can turn off, generate or just copy and paste them out of that folder that it's been made. That folder that it's made called assets. Just put them some rest. All right, So that's the skinny version of using Photoshop for web design. We used lots of art boards. The guides are super helpful for getting everything to line up when we're exporting as well. We can export the CSS, which is perfect for things like boxes and type anything that's generated normally with code on our website. The things that aren't code like images, Jpeg and PNG s. We can either right click them and go export as, or we can get fancy and use adobe generator. Alright. That's gonna be it for web design. I will see you in the next video.

Amazing experience but it is little old. You should update with latest version of PS

Great class, but outdated PS version. It was confusing sometimes. Some tools are not in PS anymore and more tools have been added which is not included in the course.
