PHOTOSHOP CS3 512 User Guide 5 Define how you want to divide each selected slice: • Select and enter a value for Slices Down or Slices Across to divide each slice evenly into the specified number of slices. • Select and enter a value for Pixels Per Slice to create slices with the specified number of pixels. If the slice cannot be divided evenly by that number of pixels, the remainder is made into another slice. For example, if you divide a slice that is 100 pixels wide into three new slices each 30 pixels wide, the remaining 10-pixel-wide area becomes a new slice. 6 Click OK. Duplicate slices You can create a duplicate slice with the same dimensions and optimization settings as the original. If the original slice is a linked user slice, the duplicate is linked to the same collection of linked slices. Duplicate slices are always user slices, regardless of whether the original is a user slice, a layer-based slice, or an auto slice. 1 Select a slice or multiple slices. 2 Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) from inside the selection. Copy and paste a slice You can copy and paste a selected slice within an image, into another image, or into another application such as Dreamweaver. Copying a slice copies all layers within the bounds of the slice (not just the active layer). 1 Select one or more slices with the Slice Select tool. 2 Choose Edit > Copy. Note: A slice can't be copied if there is an active selection in the document (a marquee pixel selection or a selected path). 3 Do one of the following: • If you want to paste the slice into another image, open and display that image. • If pasting into Dreamweaver, make your Dreamweaver document the active window. 4 Choose Edit > Paste. A new layer is created when a slice is pasted into a Photoshop image. Note: A slice copied into Dreamweaver retains information about the filename and path of the original Photoshop source file. To view this information in Dreamweaver, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+click (Mac OS) the image and choose Design Notes, then locate the FilePathSrc field on the All Info tab.

Photoshop determines the dimensions and position of the resulting slice from the rectangle created by joining the outer edges of the combined slices. If the combined slices are not adjacent or have different proportions or alignments, the newly combined slice may overlap other slices. The combined slice takes the optimization settings of the first slice in the series of slices you select. A combined slice is always a user slice, regardless of whether the original slices include auto slices. Note: You cannot combine layer-based slices. 1 Select two or more slices.
