How to prepare your images for web use

Not all that long ago, exporting images from a PSD file was a complex and tedious task which could take a dozen or more steps to create a single asset. That began to change when Adobe introduced Edge Reflow CC and the Generator plug-in which allowed designers to change layers into images and export them to Edge Reflow complete with CSS and HTML information.

Now you can use Photoshop to convert layers into images using Extract, which saves images to a folder and allows you to use them in your projects. Adobe Extract can be used with Creative Cloud, Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
