If you paste the slice into the same image as you copied it from, the pasted slice appears on top of the original. Combining slices (ImageReady) In ImageReady, you can combine two or more slices into a single slice. The resulting slice takes its dimensions and position from the rectangle created by joining the outer edges of the combined slices. If the combined slices are not adjacent or are of different proportions or alignments, the newly combined slice may overlap other slices. Optimization settings for the combined slice are those of the first slice selected before the Combine Slices operation. A combined slice is always a user slice, regardless of whether the original slices include auto slices. Note: You cannot combine layer-based slices. To combine slices: 1 Select two or more slices. 2 Choose Slices > Combine Slices. Arranging user slices and layer-based 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. To change the stacking order of slices: 1 Select a slice. In ImageReady, you can select multiple slices. 2 Do one of the following: • With the slice select tool active, click a stacking order option in the options bar: Bring to Front , Bring Forward , Send Backward , Send to Back . • (ImageReady) Choose Slices > Arrange, and choose a stacking order command from the submenu; or choose a stacking order command from the Slice palette menu. • (ImageReady) Drag the slice up or down in the Rollovers palette. (See "Using the Rollovers palette" on page 398.) Aligning user slices (ImageReady) In ImageReady, you can align user slices with the top, bottom, left, right, or middle. Aligning user slices can eliminate unneeded auto slices and generate a smaller, more efficient HTML file. Note: To align layer-based slices, align the contents of the layers. (See "Repositioning the contents of layers" on page 289.) Using Help | Contents | Index Back 376
