I second that… No one should be using IE (either 6, 7) anymore! I personally think its just a case of laziness if someone cant click a download button to initiate a better browsing experience.

Really liked this tutorial, although for a noob like me, I would’ve done a couple of things differently.
– Step 2-3 has some good screenshots as to what tool needs to be selected, step 8-9 don’t, when they are crucial.
– Step 11-12 are talking about rotating (no info on how to do that ended up finding the ‘Free transform tool’) and the gradient screenshots are rather small to really see how it should look.

Also regarding PNG and IE, I would simply suggest to those users to use this nice Javascript:

It’s been a blessing when dealing with transparent PNG and getting them to work on IE6-7 🙂

Rick: You are right to say ignoring IE is not wise. You should always try to design your websites to render correctly in all browsers to reach all your audience.
That said, my comment on staying away of IE is based on its smaller compliance with web standards in comparison with the other browsers. Although I must admit latest version of IE seems to address may of this issues.

Thanks for your comments on my tutorial.

“No one should be using Microsoft IE anymore”? I hope you mean IE6 and below. IE –in all its iterations– is still by far the world’s most popular browser. Ignoring that fact doesn’t seem wise to me.

That said, nice tutorial.
