@Pierce454

There is a place to do this right in DW. Modify>Page Properties> tracing image
you will be able to adjust the transparency of the image here.
check my screenshot .

But , the other answer here has a good point, that for web development, it's really best design and test repeatedly in the browsers since they all render slightly different.

One of the most effective ways to do it is to preview changes in Firefox and use the Pixel Perfect extension.

You might want to use a good CSS reset, to minimize browser inconsistencies.

If you don't want to install the extension, an alternative is to create an almost transparent png image in Photoshop and overlay it over the html. Use it while you are aligning the html elements with HTML and CSS and remove it once it's done.
