PhotoWebber Reviews
New!
Team Photoshop says "PhotoWebber delivers on its claims..."
"What PhotoWebber promises to do is simply amazing. The program delivers on its claims to let you create individual web pages, provide realistic site prototypes for clients to review online, and design and test site layout and rollover button ideas- all without writing a single line of HTML or JavaScript code. This program is of particular interest to us Photoshoppers, because you do most of your web page design right in Adobe Photoshop. For those of you graphic designers who know Photoshop like the back of your hand, but have been unwilling or unable to get seriously into web site design, your opportunity has arrived. You really don't need to know much more than Photoshop to create web pages and sites with this program."

About.com asks "Can a Photoshop file really be converted into a web page in just one minute?"
"Media Lab claims that PhotoWebber can take a completed design from Photoshop (or any graphics program that supports layers) and convert it into a fully functioning web page in one minute... In short, Media Lab's claims are true. Here's an account of my first-time-user experience..."

MediaMacros gives PhotoWebber Highest Ranking
(5-Excellent)
"At first glance the natural reaction is to say, 'Another cutting tool?' But, this would be a HUGE underestimation of the power PhotoWebber gives you... My impression of this product is not why should you buy this, but how can your company do without it."

webreview.com says PhotoWebber "really is as easy as 1-2-3."
"I couldn't believe PhotoWebber could possibly be as easy as the Media Lab's press release made it sound, so I decided to put it though the paces...What I discovered was nothing short of amazing. PhotoWebber produced an instant Web page from my PSD file in 3 steps - keeping the layers, transparencies and objects in the correct positions."

Photoshop User Magazine gives PhotoWebber 4-1/2 Stars
"As an experienced print designer, I’ve shied away from technologies with which I have little familiarity. Hence, I’ve avoided getting into Web design. When I saw the demo of PhotoWebber from Media Lab, Inc., I realized at last a solution to my Web creation angst was at hand."
Internet Eye Magazine names PhotoWebber a Best Product of 2000
"If you do a lot of web related production work and are tired of converting your Photoshop files in jpg's and fighting alignment and the other many tasks it takes to get a good web page then look no further than Media Labs PhotoWebber. It is fast, friendly and takes all of the guess work out of creating fantastic and professional web pages without having to know a lot about HTML coding or scripting of interactive buttons."

"For any designer who's agonized over whether or not a Web page mocked up in Photoshop could actually be rendered in HTML--or who just wants to quickly bridge the gap between initial design and fully realized Web page--help is on the way."

"Wouldn’t it be great to push a button and output a web page from Photoshop? If this sounds like wishful thinking, think again. Media Lab has just released PhotoWebber 1.0, a standalone program that not only performs all of the above tasks, but gives graphic designers one more tool that just might change the way web development is done today."

"PhotoWebber aims to simplify the process of converting a layered Photoshop file into individual graphics and HTML code."
"PhotoWebber automatically converts Adobe Photoshop files into finished Web pages, seamlessly converting each Photoshop file into a Web-ready graphic with complete HTML code. This allows graphic designers to give programmers pre-assembled templates. The content will retain the original layout once the document is converted to HTML.

"You really have to see this thing in action to appreciate the miracle it performs. Media Lab was showing a pre-release version at PhotoshopWorld back in April and it was the hit of the show."
"Why this is such a time saver is that many professional Web designers, comp up what they want their site to look like in Photoshop. Then they have to dissect the whole thing, and reassemble it, piece by piece in a Web authoring app, but with this [program], you bypass the authoring app and go straight from Photoshop to the Web."
