Designers, quick question ??

When you are making a PSD for a website in photoshop,

What canvas size do you use?

1024 X 768
1152 X 864

OR,

1280 X 1024?

Let me know please, thanks

1020px wide*. that leaves a safe 10px buffer on either side of the actual design (coded version is 1000px wide* at most.



*unless designing for widescreen

I make my canvas MUCH larger than the finished site while designing.

So I can see how the site will look on it's background and so my eye isn't distracted by other stuff around the screen.

I design it as if I was looking at it in the browser. I'm not a designer.. So i probably do everything wrong.

I set my canvas to 2,000px wide, and set guides to see where the center 1,000px sits.

This allows me to make a background that can be seen on high res screens, and then I keep the content within the 1000px which means people on 1024 resolution see no horizontal scroll even though there is more to see beyond that resolution.

btw, the same principal can obviously be used if you are keeping below 800px with the content, but I almost never do that anymore.
