Photoshop question
I'm trying to build a website for my dad, I'm using Photoshop when I save it as an html file and try to open it up and edit it with just the html style there are just images even the text. What I'm wondering is, is there a way to save it to where I can edit the text in html after I'm done building it in photoshop without having to go to photoshop each time. (A little about the website site is one side is white and one side is blue which is why I think it saves it all in images) Thanks Jackie

Photoshop is an image editing program, it does not know the difference between an image and text.

You could open the html file in a text editor like Notepad (windows) or Text Edit (mac) and edit the text.

Naww jack see his problem is his text is from PS, its going to stay an image there is no way to edit that except within PS. You have to delete the "picture" with the text in it and enter the text in a program with notepad. I know that sounds pretty easy but its not on your first time. You should look up ome good tutorials for this

Is there a reason why you cannot just add the text in html, instead of doing that in Photoshop? The text created in Photoshop will always save as an image. That is good if you want to use whatever font you want, or special effects on that font. You see,then you don't have to rely on people having some special font that you like. But it is bad if you want to edit the text in html, because you can't.

jlaughingduck,
Photoshop is an image editor. Not an html editor, not a page layout program. All it can do is generate the table code or css positioning and include the image slices in the appropriate places. In other words, it generates an html file consisting of nothing but images.
What you need to do is edit the html file by hand. Remove the image slices in the places you want text, and add the text by hand. Now this can be tricky since PS has sized table cells or divs (depending on what your output selection was), according to the images it produced, and not actual text content.
If you are using a table based layout, you most likely will need to edit the table code as well so that the layout doesn't break when you add plain old text. If you are using the CSS based layout, you may need to edit the divs.
The best thing you can do is simply slice up your layout and assemble it by hand, but it sort of sounds to me like you are a beginner at this? If you are just starting you'll read some tutorials and gain some basic skills. It isn't hard to learn, but takes a lot of practice.
The link above to the W3C schools is the best place to go.
