Slicing web pages
About sliced web pages
Slices divide an image into smaller images that are reassembled on a web page using an HTML table or CSS layers.
By dividing the image, you can assign different URL links to create page navigation, or optimize each part of an
image using its own optimization settings.
You export and optimize a sliced image using the Save For Web & Devices command. Photoshop saves each slice as
a separate file and generates the HTML or CSS code needed to display the sliced image.
Web page divided into slices
When you work with slices, keep these basics in mind:
• You can create a slice by using the Slice tool or by creating layer-based slices.
• After you create a slice, you can select it using the Slice Select tool and then move, resize, or align it with other
slices.
• You can set options for each slice—such as content type, name, and URL—in the Slice Options dialog box.
• You can optimize each slice using different optimization settings in the Save For Web & Devices dialog box.
Slice types
Slices are categorized by their content type (auto, image, no-image) and by the way they are created (user, layer-
based, auto).
Slices created with the Slice tool are called user slices; slices created from a layer are called layer-based slices. When
you create a new user slice or layer-based slice, additional auto slices are generated to account for the remaining areas
of the image. In other words, auto slices fill the space in the image that is not defined by user slices or layer-based
slices. Auto slices are regenerated every time you add or edit user slices or layer-based slices. You can convert auto
slices to user slices.
