Today is the pre-release of version 0.1 lite beta of the Drupal Theme feature in psd2css Online. As you might be able to guess, I expect it to change as I get feedback from the Drupal community. In fact I'm not even going to write up formal documentation until the design has flushed out due to feedback.
Having said that though - right now you can build a Drupal Theme in Photoshop, name some layers for the content that Drupal will provide, convert the PSD file to a fully functional Drupal (version 6.x) Theme, copy it into your existing Drupal install and it works.
Drupal is an amazing CMS (Content Management System) with tons of features right out of the box and thousands more available as modules you download and install to your Drupal website. Drupal is available for free here:
http://drupal.org
You can define layers by naming them exactly (the whole name, not just the portions that start with underscore) as 'left_drupal' for the left column content, 'content_drupal' for the main content section, 'right_drupal' for the right column content, 'primarylinks_drupal' for the primary links menu items and 'secondarylinks_drupal' for the secondary links menu items.
If you have feedback about what it should do, what it shouldn't do, or anything else, please drop me an email. Thanks.
Here is the first working example:

Which came from this PSD file:

Here is a video showing some use of the new feature:
Hello everyone I've tried to
Hello everyone I've tried to modify your drupal theme and upload it to a drupal (6.12) installation. I've set it as a default theme and enable and it doesn't work I can only see the background (_bodybg), content_drupal , left_drupal other sections that I've added doesn't appear like the bg_center_jpg , or primarylinks_drupal. Then I've tried to upload your drupal online test theme unmodified and I have the same problem. Any ideas why?
Many of the support
Many of the support challenges have been centered around the need to optimize and prepare a PSD file for conversion by psd2css Online. You can certainly make a PSD file with 100 layers and feed it to psd2css Online - but a web page with 100 CSS regions is almost certainly not the most efficient web page you could build. As well there are filters and special effects in Photoshop that may need some special attention, there are links to make live and text to fill in after the conversion is finished. psd2css Online does a lot of your work for you, but there can be some more effort before your ready for the web. It's all very well documented on the site but you still may not wish to take these steps yourself.
