"45 Photoshop Tutorials for Better Navigation" Vandelay Website Design (March 3, 2008 )
"Navigation is obviously one of the most crucial aspects of web design in terms of usability, but often it is also a focal point of the design’s appearance. Navigational buttons, bars and menus provide the designer with an excellent opportunity to be creative and add some style to the design. What better tool to use for this purpose than Photoshop?"
No question about it: the samples shown are attractive navigation elements.
Whether pretty buttons means "better navigation" is a debatable point, at best. It certainly means better-looking navigation.
Although I've used Photoshop, and am impressed with the software: "What better tool to use for this purpose than Photoshop?" deserves an answer.
If money is no object, you actually need the wide range of advanced features that Photoshop offers, and you need to impress clients (or your boss) with the word "Photoshop," then Photoshop is the better tool.
If you don't have transfinite financial resources, your graphics software has to do about 95% or so of what Photoshop does, and you don't have to impress someone by saying that you use Photoshop, I'd go for another package.
I use Corel products: when I bought the package that included "Photo Paint," that, and the other software, cost about half of what I'd have paid for Photoshop.
Still, those are cool graphics. And, the tutorials probably have knowledge that can be adapted to whatever graphics software you use.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
