Hi,

Intro

I make a lot of html emails, I've been doing this for almost 2 years now. If you've ever done that before; you know it's a pain in the bum. It just consumes your time. But actually, over time I've come with a quite dynamic way to build these mails, and over the past 2 years have learned a lot about outlooks way of displaying html (and other clients).

Question

Is it possible to alter the way photoshop generates its html and how would I approach this if it's possible to do? It would save days, weeks, years(!!) of work if photoshop has a feature that will not use rowspans (they don´t work in outlook2003) and some other things that I'm not going to list here.

Outro

There's very little information on the web about making plug-ins for photoshop. I'm willing to invest time in this, or maybe collaborate with someone who has experience in making photoshop plug-ins.

Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions or advice; please post, every help is welcome

With Photoshop Scripting since CS3 it is possible to create Photoshop Plug-ins look at "Fit Image.jsx" that ships with Photoshop tresets/script.  It is also possible to write html files with Photoshop scripting look at  Jeffrey Tranberry scripts that can be downloaded from the simpleviewer web site that generates web galleries.

Thanks!

Can you also give me some tips on how to start such a project? Do you even think it's possible?

the gallery thing is a .mxp and I have no idea how to reverse engineer such a file. I can't even install it because I don't have admin rights.. yeah really...

anyway, thanks again
