To resize a layer-based slice using numeric dimensions (ImageReady)
1
Select a layer-based slice.
2
In the Slice palette, in the Layer Based Dimensions options area, change one or more of the following Pad options:
L
Specifies the distance in pixels between the left edge of the slice and the left edge of the layer’s content.
T
Specifies the distance in pixels between the top edge of the slice and the top edge of the layer’s content.
R
Specifies the distance in pixels between the right edge of the slice and the right edge of the layer’s content.
B
Specifies the distance in pixels between the bottom edge of the slice and the bottom edge of the layer’s content.
To divide user slices and auto slices
Use the Divide Slice dialog box to divide slices horizontally, vertically, or both. Divided slices are always user slices,
regardless of whether the original is a user slice or an auto slice.
Note:
You cannot divide layer-based or nested table slices.
1
Select one or more slices.
2
Do one of the following:
•
(Photoshop) With the Slice Select tool selected, click Divide Slice in the options bar.
•
(ImageReady) Choose Slices > Divide Slice.
•
(ImageReady) Choose Divide Slice from the Slice palette menu.
3
Select Preview in the Divide Slice dialog box to preview the changes.
4
In the Divide Slice dialog box, select one or both of the following options:
Divide Horizontally Into
Divides the slice lengthwise.
Divide Vertically Into
Divides the slice widthwise.
5
Define how you want to divide each selected slice:
•
Select and enter a value for Slices Down or Slices Across to divide each slice evenly into the specified number of
slices.
•
Select and enter a value for Pixels Per Slice to create slices with the specified number of pixels. If the slice cannot
be divided evenly by than number of pixels, the remainder is made into another slice. For example, if you divide a
slice that is 100 pixels wide into three new slices each 30 pixels wide, the remaining 10-pixel-wide area becomes a
new slice.
6
Click OK.
To duplicate slices
You can create a duplicate slice with the same dimensions and optimization settings as the original. If the original
slice is a linked user slice, the duplicate is linked to the same collection of linked slices. Duplicate slices are always
user slices, regardless of whether the original is a user slice, a layer-based slice, or an auto slice.
In ImageReady, you can also copy and paste slices within or between documents.
1
Select a slice or multiple slices.
2
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) from inside the selection.
