Slicing makes it easy to specify what type of content will appear in a slice and how the image content in a slice shall be optimized.
#WEB SLICES DOWNLOAD#
You can use image slices in Photoshop to create and design dynamic web page layouts from a layered Photoshop image that will download efficiently and produce HTML output files that can be further edited in a program like Adobe GoLive or Dreamweaver. Different compression or format options can be applied to individual slices such that areas where image detail matters most, less JPEG compression is applied. Note how you can select individual slices (such as the main image) and choose specific image optimization settings.
#WEB SLICES UPDATE#
This is really handy because it will mean that the slice sections will update in size whenever layer effects such as a drop shadow effect are added or adjusted.įigure 4 Here is how the above ‘sliced’ image would look when viewed in the Save For Web & Devices dialog. You can also create slices based on the Photoshop layers by choosing Layer New Layer Based Slice. You can then optimize individual slices via the Photoshop Save for Web Dialog (see Figure 4). The slice tool Options bar is shown in Figure 1 and the slice select tool Options bar is shown in Figure 2.įigure 2 The slice select tool Options bar.įigure 3 Images can be sliced up in Photoshop using the slice tool. But if the slice numbers are currently hidden and you want to see the slice numbers displayed next to each slice, then go to the Guides, Grid and Slices preferences and check the ‘Show Slice Numbers’ option. The default setting is to show slice numbers.
But note that the Command/Control key lets you toggle between the two tools and as well as this, the slice tool automatically becomes the slice select tool whenever you hover over a user slice, thus allowing you to edit it without having to manually select the slice select tool each time. You can then use the slice select tool to go back and edit the size of each slice afterwards. To slice an image you use the slice tool to drag across an image to manually define a user-slice, and as you create such user-slices, Photoshop automatically generates additional auto-slices that divide up the other areas (as shown in Figure 3). I tried using ImageMagick instead, but it failed with a "can't access magic.xml" error for reasons I don't understand, so I'm back trying to slice it in Photoshop.The slice tools in Photoshop are particularly useful for Web designer’s as these allow them to divide an image up into rectangular sections, and the slices can then used in Photoshop to specify how each individual slice will be optimized, what file format a slice area should be saved in and what compression settings should be used. I've even tried as Adobe says, selecting a tile and edit->copy (to paste into another tab or even MS Paint), but it copies the entire image, not just the content of that tile. I've got as far as an image with slices/tiles shown correctly in blue (and unwanted slices/tiles deleted), but can't seem to get it to do anything with them. Nothing in the "save as" dialog, nor anything apparently relevant in the "export as" dialog, and "save for web" is greyed out and I can't figure why.Ĭlean install, from Adobe installer, no messing round or extensions. The map is fine, Photoshop CC 19 (Windows 10) handles it great, but I now need to slice it into 8192 x 8192 px tiles, and I'm having no luck. I have a huge 8 bit B&W image (PNG, 200k x 100k px) which is a high resolution generated map of a large area, so I can't generate it in small chunks.
