Dividing user slices and auto slices
The Divide Slice dialog box lets you divide slices horizontally, vertically, or both. In
Photoshop, you can divide only one slice; in ImageReady, you can divide multiple slices at
the same time. Duplicate slices are always user slices, regardless of whether the original is
a user slice or an auto slice.
Note:
You cannot divide layer-based slices.
To divide slices:
1
Select a slice. In ImageReady, you can select multiple 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(s).
•
(ImageReady) Choose Divide Slice(s) 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 to divide the slice lengthwise.
•
Divide Vertically Into to divide 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 divide each slice based on the specified
number of pixels. Any section of a slice that is left over 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.
Duplicating 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 set
of linked slices. For more information, see
“Linking slices (ImageReady)” on page 382
.
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.
To duplicate a slice:
Do one of the following:
•
Select a slice. (In ImageReady, you can select multiple slices.) Then Alt-drag (Windows)
or Option-drag (Mac OS) from inside the selection. In ImageReady, you can also choose
Slices > Duplicate Slice(s) or Duplicate Slice(s) from the Slice palette menu.
•
(ImageReady) Select a slice in the Rollovers palette, and choose Duplicate Slice from the
palette menu. (See
“Using the Rollovers palette” on page 398
.)
The duplicate slice appears on top of the original (offset 10 pixels down and to the right)
and can be moved, resized, or otherwise modified.
