first off, have them not do the cut up in Image Ready? saves them time and you frustrating rework. When I'm working for designers I ask them to supply a layered PSD and a jpg render of each page I then cut my own images from the PSD to suit background and inline images as dictated by a semantic layout. I can't think of a tool that could interpret a visual design in terms of layers and backgrounds in the way I find necessary for building with CSS. Be kind of nice if there was though... watching with interest. -- http://wiki.workalone.co.uk http://www.workalone.co.uk/ads.htm http://www.xebit.net ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
