Copy CSS Attributes in Photoshop 13.1

Adobe Photoshop

In an attempt to make the hand-off between designer and developer easier, several attributes of Type and Shape Layers can be copied as CSS. To copy a single layer or a Layer Group, select it in the Layers panel, then use the fly-out menu to select Copy CSS.
The DIV shapes include:

  • Rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse
  • Solid Color fill, gradient fill (linear & radial), opacity
  • Drop Shadow, z-index

Stroke Attributes include:

  • border-width, border-color,
  • border-style (dotted/dashed/solid)
  • background-image (layer name)

Text Attributes include:

  • font-size, font-family, color, font-weight (bold),
  • font-style (italic), font-variant (small-caps),
  • text-decoration (strikethrough, underline),
  • text-transform (uppercase), vertical-align (sub, super)
  • text-align, text-indent, transform
  • Drop Shadows

In addition, there are third party plug-ins( such as CSS Hat) that can help with handing off Layer Style information to CSS.
