Perhaps you have always thought of Photoshop as software only for designers who like to manipulate images. And, it is very effective for that purpose. Besides being great for photo editing, Photo shop is also great when you want to do website development. In fact, if a web designer doesn't have Photo shop, they aren't going to get the best results. That's because a great website will incorporate a number of graphics and images into its design.

Below are a few reasons why web developers love Photoshop :

1. Slices for easier web development.

Graphic designers used to working in two dimensions can use their skills as web designers. With Photo shop, you can put all the design elements together to see how the web site will look. The software can then save the layout in multiple slices.

2. Photoshop Uses Universal File Formats

Because Photo shop is so widely recognized as the industry standard software for graphic design, programmers know they can rely on slices from Photo shop to be used effectively within their programming code. Even when working on a team, programmers know that they should be able to access files created by Photo shop. When working on a team, it's important to save in a file format that everyone can access. With Photo shop, you can actually save one layout in several different file formats without taking away from the quality of the original. When you save a Photo shop document, you can save as a .psd , .pdf, .txt or .eps file. That makes it great for virtual teams that have different operating systems and applications.

3. Interfacing capabilities

Rollover images are used sparingly, but are still used on the internet for the design quality and interactive experience for the website user. Website users have become accustomed to rolling their mouse over an object and getting an instant graphical change result to identify that something has changed on the website. For website owners who want this type of graphical element change on the user interface, Photo shop is the perfect tool for creating this effect.

Once you've tried Photo shop, you'll never want to use that other software program again.
