SiteGrinder

How do I use the current document state as a page?


SiteGrinder by default will build a page for every button and menu item. If the button names match the names of pages you have defined with layer comps or with SiteGrinder's Page Defining tool then SiteGrinder uses those pre-defined pages to decide which layers to show on each.

Sometimes you might just want to build a page without defining it first. For example you may just want to experiment with styled text on a scratch page.

SiteGrinder allows you to build a page based on the current state of the document. This means that whatever layers are visible when you run SiteGrinder will be on this page and whichever are hidden won't. In short, the page will look just as the document did when you opened SiteGrinder.

SiteGrinder lists "last document state" as a page in its list of pages in the "Pages" panel of the SiteGrinder interface. It takes it's name from the name of the Photoshop document. You can turn it off or on.

You can actually build an entire site from the current document states of multiple Photoshop documents. This can be quite useful if pages have radically different dimensions from each other, for example.
