Giving coders the PSD

I simply commented off what others have posted previous to me on reasonings of why they like to have the source. Looking at my own personal work, as well as when I code my own work, I rarely require anything that would be needed from the source. Then again, my designs are usually created with ease of coding in mind. Perhaps the source is not required if proper flat files are given?


Personally I just can't see how it's an excuse to want the source simply because you can't tell 14pt Arial from 18pt Verdana.

As to Salathe's comment: With the growing ammount of work given over the internet, as well as the discounted services that alot of htmlers charge now days, contracts are usually more hassel than a benefit in smaller projects.
