wel, a few days ago I started with my book Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a book. I arrived at lesson 6 and it's about the extract panel. Now I've read that it's not available anymore. But I don't know how I can open the PSD from the lesson in to dreamweaver to continue the lesson. Is there someone who had the same problem and how did you fixed it?

The Extract Panel was removed from DW in 2022.

Some alternative workflows.

Go to Site ⇒ New Site. Define a local site folder for your project. See screenshots below.
Use Photoshop’s File ⇒ Export ⇒ Export As panel to create optimized images for the web. Save them to your hard drive.

Use Dreamweaver to build your HTML structure and CSS styles.
Go to File ⇒ New ⇒ Starter Templates…

After you SAVE, DW Creates Asset folders for you in your Local Site folder.

Post back if you have more questions.

Hi Nancy, I have a different question. I am trying to install some Dreamweaver extensions and I would like to know where the Creative cloud preference is located. If you can help me with this it would be appreciated or direct me to the proper forum

Cheers, Kowbok

@kowbok,

I gave up on 3rd party add-ons for Dreamweaver. Most extension builders have stopped developing add-ons for Dreamweaver. I prefer to code what I need manually.

That said, see this topic about DMXZone’s Extension Manager.

You’ll need that to install DW Extensions, assuming the extensions are compatible with Dreamweaver ver. 21+.

Hope that helps.

You must have a very old Classroom in a Book.

DW is a code editor. It doesn’t open Photoshop PSD files.

Dreamweaver and the web support these files types. See screenshots below.

Here’s Adobe’s Help file:

https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/dreamweaver-integration-extract.html

”Learn how to quickly translate your PSDs into HTML-based web designs for mobiles and desktops. Extract CSS, images, measurements, fonts, colors, gradients, and much more from Photoshop directly into Dreamweaver.”

It’s been four years since Peachpit published a Classroom in a Book for Dreamweaver.

@jane-e is pointing to obsolete documentation.

As @Jon Fritz correctly stated, Extract services were discontinued in 2022. A nice idea that failed to meet user expectations.
