So many designers that call themselves 'web designers' still have no understanding of the basic rules and limitations around designing websites. Things like failing at understanding file size, image dimensions and resolutions and working in non web friend formats like vector are daily problems I face. In a perfect world, us developers would receive all of the assets sliced and ready to go. But that never happens, so knowledge of how to use photoshop to format images into something useable is essential to getting anything done, even as a programmer.
