I want to use one of the Adobe Creative Suite 5 programs to create an image sprite of all the small icons and images on my webpages.
I've done it a number of times before in Photoshop but can't quite get every icon to be at the exact coordinates I intend them to be at.
The last method I used was to explicitly define the correct size of each as a shape, and use snap-to and line guides to line them all up where I want each image, and then insert the images and hide the shapes.
This takes a little while and to my dismay, there always seems to be something that's a pixel or two out of place, messing with my beautiful site designs.
What method can I use to set up a grid of images with varying sizes to be at specific coordinates?
Which of the Adobe CS5 Programs has the best functionality for this?
and a loosely relevant side question..
For the purpose of rendering in a browser as fast as possible, should the images be lined up vertically, horizontally or in a roughly equal sided rectangle?
