Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) and choose Combine Slices.

Change the stacking order of slices

When slices overlap, the last slice you create is the top slice in the stacking order. You can change the stacking order
to gain access to underlying slices. You can specify which slice is on the top and bottom of the stack and move slices
up or down in the stacking order.

Note: You cannot arrange the stacking order of auto slices.

Select a slice or multiple slices.

Choose the Slice Select tool, and click a stacking order option in the options bar.

Stacking order options
A. Bring To Front B. Bring Forward C. Send Backward D. Send To Back

Align and distribute user slices

You can align user slices along an edge or their centers, and distribute user slices evenly along the vertical or
horizontal axis. By aligning and distributing user slices, you can eliminate unneeded auto slices and generate a
smaller, more efficient HTML file.

Note: To align or distribute layer-based slices, align or distribute the contents of the layers.

Select the user slices you want to align.

Choose the Slice Select tool, and select a option in the options bar.

Alignment options
A. Top B. Vertical Centers C. Bottom D. Left E. Horizontal Centers F. Right

Distribute options
A. Top B. Vertical Centers C. Bottom D. Left E. Horizontal Centers F. Right

Delete a slice

When you delete a user slice or layer-based slice, auto slices are regenerated to fill the document area.

Deleting a layer-based slice does not delete the associated layer; however, deleting the layer associated with a layer-
based slice does delete the layer-based slice.
