as far as photoshop integrating with dreamweaver and frontpage? Not sure about dreamweaver but here's how I design a site.
First I make the template. I do this in photoshop on a JPG that's 600*800 or so. I make my menu and my title and everything I need.
Then I hit the button that switches over to Image ready (wich is included in CS). Image ready is pretty cool. It takes the image that I made in PS and slices it up and creates the HTML code. I can also animate the buttons and do basically what ever I want to the overall layout.
From there I save the project and open it up in front page. Now Image ready likes to waste alot of space and bandwidth, you may be able to turn this off but I'm not sure. In front page I delete the middle slices created in IR and use FP to change the table color. That way I can actually type text and what not.
There I tweak the code in FP creating all the links and what not and save this as a template. After that I create all my later pages.
Maybe this helps maybe it doesnt but that's the way i've done my last couple of sites. I've been using photoshop for about 5 years now and have never taken a class on it but there's alot I still have yet to learn. That being said this is the first time I've used it to make a web page.
