I've actually nearly always designed new sites or templates from my graphics file - whether that's fireworks or photopaint. To me, there's no difference in the two methods but designing your layout visually in the first instance gives you the best idea as to how the finished product will more or less look and you can easily move things around, change colors etc until you are happy with it.
It's when the design is curvy or you need to slice images that things can get fiddly. The trick is to design from the start with the method of ultimate output in mind - I've had to convert other people's graphics to layouts in the past and because they had no idea as to how a page is 'built' it was much harder and some elements had to be sacrificed or changed.
