I'm on a MBA and can't see the bottom of the tutorial images. My browser height isn't tall enough.

Hi Sunsu, sorry for that. We are fixing it right now. Meanwhile, here is the image url - http://www.markupwand.com/assets/illustration-break-page.png

Awesomeness!

Now how about hire a little army to manually split my page to pieces, make it compatible to get markupwand to work, then give me back the whole page as if you did it all by magic. Imagine the premium I'd pay for that!

Just tried it using the provided PSD. I am supposed to get an email with results. Is there any manual work involved in getting the HTML/CSS ?

I had the same issue. In Chrome, if you go full screen, it lets you use the trackpad to scroll around.

How does it work?

Agreed... Is this an automatic thing or are we looking at a psd2html.com type thing?

Thanks Jenn!

Splitting page into pieces is only a temporary fix. We are working on getting the entire page work (automatically), it will be out pretty soon :)

I don't have much experience with prototyping-with-PSD...how standardized is that process among designers? This is a neat tool but it seems like it might be very dependent on good practices by designers, and seeing how adherence to best practices -- in naming conventions, file types, layer arrangement, etc -- can be highly variable among coders, I can only imagine what it's like among pure visual designers.

There is no manual work involved. After generation, you would have to edit the class names and you should be done.

Hi bherms, this is totally automatic. You'd have to edit the class names as of now.
