Locking slices (Photoshop)
Locking slices prevents you from making changes accidentally, such as resizing or moving
slices.
To lock all slices:
Choose View > Lock Slices.
Specifying slice options
Setting slice options lets you specify how the slice data will appear in a Web browser.
The available options vary according to the application and the slice type you select.
You can only set options for one slice at a time.
Note:
Setting options for an auto slice promotes the slice to a user slice.
Viewing slice options
You specify slice options in the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) and the Slice palette
(ImageReady).
To display the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop):
Do one of the following:
•
Double-click a slice with the slice select tool.
•
With the slice select tool active, click the Slice Options button in the options bar. This
method is available only in the main Photoshop application, not in the Photoshop Save
for Web dialog box.
To display the Slice palette (ImageReady):
Choose Window > Slice, or click the palette button
on the right side of the options bar
for the slice select tool.
Choosing a content type
Formatting and display options for a slice vary according to its content type. There are two
types of slice content:
•
Image slices contain image data, including rollover states. This is the default content
type.
•
No Image slices contain solid color or HTML text. Because No Image slices contain no
image data, they download more quickly. Photoshop and ImageReady do not display
No Image slice content. To view No Image slice content, preview the image in a
browser. (See
“Previewing an image in a browser” on page 53
.)
To specify a content type:
1
Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the slice select
tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
2
In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), select a
slice type from the Type pop-up menu.
