PhotoWebber 2.0 Helps Build Hot-Looking Websites Without Burning Up Your Budget

Innovative Tool Turns Photoshop(R) Designs Into Instant Web Pages; Keeps Your Web Project on Time & Within Budget June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Web sites are busting out all over this year with color, interactive images, movement, graphical buttons, pop-up menus and the best in contemporary design. Every marketer wants a hot- looking web site, or at least a terrific home page. The cost of building these powerful, interactive web pages can burn through today's limited budgets quickly.

With a refreshingly cool solution, Media Lab today announced a new and improved version of its innovative software tool for keeping online graphics projects on time and on budget.

"PhotoWebber is the fastest way to turn a Photoshop design into a web page," said Chris Perkins, CEO of Media Lab. "It may also be the best investment your creative department makes this year."

Six ways to save time and money with PhotoWebber 2:

1. Create finished web pages instantly from Photoshop files without any HTML or Javascript programming.
2. Convert Photoshop files into HTML pages that can open directly in Dreamweaver or GoLive for further enhancement.
3. Build realistic website comps for online review. Clients who are traveling or located in a distant city will have easy access to review artwork at their convenience.
4. Try out ideas for page layouts or test interactive functions without tedious re-working.
5. Re-purpose existing print artwork to the Web with little effort.
6. Save hours and hours of tedious drudgery slicing and optimizing web graphics.

"PhotoWebber gives designers a shortcut just when they need it -- at deadline," said Robb Kerr, president of Digital Iguana and a popular Photoshop trainer. "Most designers prefer to spend their time in Photoshop actually 'designing' rather than in some other application 'programming.' PhotoWebber lets them do just that."

What's New in PhotoWebber 2?

• Pop-up menu support.
• HTML extensions including Quicktime, Flash, Shockwave, Java applets and MPEG movies.
• Layer effects (Photoshop 5) and layer styles (Photoshop 6) now carry over seamlessly.
• Preview interactive pages without leaving PhotoWebber.
• Improved control of tables.
• Page alignment options.
• New user interface.

"PhotoWebber is not necessarily the best solution if your web pages are text-heavy," said Perkins. "But it's ideal for graphically intense home pages or web sites with significant interactivity or graphical elements throughout. Art directors and graphics department heads will love the new features in PhotoWebber 2."
