Is is possible to have different layers for slices - i.e. each layer has a different slicing for the image. This is so that if I need to cut up the image another way all I have to do is change the "slice layer" instead of reverting to another copy of the psd file?
I often work on items for the web that I want to slice, but I need to slice them in layers. For instance, a background image, then some transparent PNGs to be placed on top of the background.
If I have everything laid our properly in Photoshop, then the layer items all overlap. I can turn off layers and export the background as one slice, then turn off the bkgrd and turn on a foreground item and create a slice for that... and so on. But if I want to go back and re-export the background (due to a change) the overlapping slices cause it to now break up into multiple pieces.
I can separate the layered items so that they are off to the side and the slices no longer overlap, but now any adjustments in the layout are hard to make because everything is all separated out. Is there a way to handle leaving the slices overlapped but not have them break up at export?
I have created a PSD file for my website. In the banner of the website I have 10 or 15 photos that rotate.
Normally, when I export the site from Photoshop I select the first layer of the banner export it; hide that layer (In Photoshop; To show the next image) and then export the second banner image. (I also change the file number, _1, _2, _3 etc)
And so on until I have gone through all 10 or 15 images.
My question:
Is there a way to automate this so I don't have to export to HTML 15 times? All of the banner images are located in the same folder and use a clipping mask.

Is there any way to slice a 3d object into layers ?
Example : a cube, 100*100*100 mm . I want to slice it in 10 layers of 10 milimeters (with the z axis)
My project is based on autocad. I 'm currently developing an addon to autocad that can get x,y,z coordinates of every shape in the drawing. I'm working with laser machines, and our lasers can only be use between -8 mm and 8 mm.
For 2d drawing, it's simple, i don't need slicing, but for 3d shapes, i need to slice to mark it with our lasers.
I'm trying to slice an image using the filter-web-slice function but I was wondering if there is a way to customize the function or change its properties in the Python-Fu. I need gimp to slice by columns (start in the top left corner slice each grid down the column then proceed to the next column. Right now all I can get gimp to do is cut by rows. Normally gimps function would be fine but I need the image labeled a particular way so I can use the individual files in a map for a game. I'm making a 118 images so renaming them by hand would take too long.
I know the basics of Photoshop so you can say I'm not a newbie but I find myself using it in ways I never have before. I'm in CS3 and I have to be able to slice up .psds for the web, I know about user slices, smart guides, naming slices, optimizing and saving for the web but the one thing I cannot figure out is the very beginning steps in doing this. For instance, let's say someone sends me an image of a webpage that is in any other format but a .psd. Reason I bring this up is tutorials always start with layered documents already in a .psd format and I need to know how to save the slices I make as layers from scratch. Now I'm looking at a (example) .tiff image of a doc I need to slice up so first thing I would do is to save as a .psd correct? or not? NOW here's where I'm missing information as I have tried to save the main image as a .psd file and when I go slice layers out of it and name the layers they do not show up in the palette, they are saved as part of the background.
i have made something in photoshop. i need to slice it, unaware of how to slice thigns in photoshop i did it in macromedia fireworks, the only problem is i used a photo in my design and its got sky in it the sky now has a few different blue shades rather than one smooth picture. fireworks saved them as gifs which is wat i would expect but not the quality has gone down quite alot with the photo!
how exactly do you slice and save the images for a webpage. I already made my template. A not so good one, but now that im done making it, how do i go about slicing it?
I have just made a header for a site with links and everything already on it. Now, what would be the easiest way to save the image in order to make those links? Do I slice up the header and save all the links seperately so that I just add HTML to them, do I take it to Image ready? What?
I am looking to slice a website up in Photoshop, I have created my design in photoshop for 800 x 600. I think this size is wrong as i haven't allowed for the scroll bar in the browser...
I notice i can use the slice tool, or slice from layers etc.
What about place holders i have left for "pure" text which of course i will enter in my html editor? But i should imagine i want it to export with the text place holder in the html file otherwise the html with the graphics are not going to line up?
Also i have created a box with rounded corners, i presume i should only be exporting the four corners and using some trickery to lower file size..
I want to select just two parts of this image to make clickable - in this case it would be the black part of the 'S' (the top part), and the white part of the 'S' (the bottom part).
Photoshop Image Ready only seems to let me create rectangular or square shaped slices - I have seen this done on other websites where differently proportioned shapes and slices have been created?
I have a psd file and there are a bunch of caption bubbles all on their own layer. How can I easily slice each bubble to their own new .png image file? All the bubbles are spaced nicely and they don't overlap.
Is there a way to auto slice an image in image ready when I have made the grid, so they save all the ares into different files instead that I have to save everyone indivitualy?
creating the slices (attaches is the design in photoshop). In particular I'd need some clues on correctly creating the rounded rectangle around the main content. (I'd like to use a fixed layout).
I've seen that there's a technique to define the four corners and repeat the main element so that the rectangle can be adapted to the dimension of the content.
how do you slice a circular object so that it can become a frame and that I can place a object inside it, I used the selection tool in image ready and created a slice from the selection but it slices a square that includes the circle.
I have created an image in Photoshop that I want to use as my website front end, but I have a few questions:
1. How do I go about putting the hyperlinks into my navigation menu?
2. I want to use the blank space I have left as a frame, what would be the best way to do this? I was thinking of creating the layout of frames in dreamweaver then slicing and inserting the slices into the individual frames? then filling the centre frame the same colour as the front end so it belnds in.
I am not sure if slicing is the correct word. Basically, I have a rectangular image and I would like to slice of the edges diagonally and turn the rectangular image into a parallelogram. Then I would like to put some stripes (possibly use the line tool) on the image.
slicing in photoshop? i've created a layout already i dont understand the slicing process. i looked at a few tutorials on it, still dont get the point and how it applies to dreamweaver...
also, can slicing be free-form (like slicing perfectly around a circular object)?
I created a simple site layout with navigation tabs on either side of the primary content area. Something along the lines of this:
Logo|||||||||||||||||
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
|nav| (content) |nav|
The site wasn't as hard to create as I first anticipated, however I ran into a problem.
The layout looks great as long as content in the primary table cell (inbetween my two nav bars, and below the site banner) remains within the guidelines of the layout.
If content is longer than the layout the entire table is stretched vertically so that there are gaps between each navigation button.
i have selected SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES and have then selected the slice tool. i click and drag to draw a slice but it does not create a slice. as i am clicking and dragging i see the marching ants showing the area i have selected. when i let the mouse button go it just dissappears and no slice.i am using ps cs4
So i have made a mockup of a forum skin i want to code in photoshop and later on im most likley going to slice it and code it in dreamweaver. I just wanted to know if you need to slice text or do you just slice the background that it goes on and write the text in the code itself.
I have four buttons that are oval shaped at a size of 100 pixels wide and about 25 pixels high.
In the future, I might want to change the text so instead of creating the button with text on it; I would like to use plain text.
I've tried slicing it and adding the text after making the middle section (text section) the background. Of course this messes up the tables and it becomes a mess. Can somebody tell me the best way to slice this?
