Adobe's new online tool lets you convert PSDs to CSS code Adobe has debuted a beta web-based tool that lets you convert PSDs into CSS code. At first glance it appears to be more of a fun experiment than a serious tool – as it replicates the Generator tool added to Photoshop CC last September – but it's also more evidence of how Adobe is thinking about moving more of its Creative Cloud toolset into the actual cloud. You can see Project Parfait in action in Adobe's video above, or try it yourself at projectparfait.adobe.com (though it requires you to be using Chrome). On the Project Parfait site, you can upload PSDs – even large ones – and access (though not edit) all of the elements and layers. As with Generator, this isn't a tool that 'converts' PSDs into websites, but more of a way to smooth the process turning mockups into anything from interactive prototypes to full sites. For each element – including text – you can see how it would be rendered in CSS, and copy either the entire code or separate elements.

This trick is perfect when there is only a single child element, otherwise the absolute position will affect the other element within the same container. 2. CSS3 Transform has made it easy to put content at the center. 3. 4.
