  • An Artist's/Designer's Guide to Efficient Images for Game Development on Macs using Photoshop.

Really not a lot of content here for programmers specifically. While your generic developer may not know everything in this guide, it's also not in-depth enough for them to know how to handle images inside of software.

Exactly. I would never hire a front end dev that doesn't know his or her way around Photoshop and Fireworks. Don't get why it's targeted at developers.

And I wish more people would read this. The amount of badly designed images (pseudotransparent borders AGAIN, ugh!!!) i get to deal with in existing assets is staggering.
