ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 275 User Guide Viewing slices You can view slices in Photoshop, the Photoshop Save for Web dialog box (see "Optimizing images" on page 320), and ImageReady. The following characteristics can help you identify and differentiate between slices: Slice lines Define the boundary of the slice. Solid lines indicate that the slice is a user-slice or layer-based slice; dotted lines indicate that the slice is an auto-slice. Slice colors Differentiate user-slices and layer-based slices from auto-slices. By default, user-slices and layer-based slices have blue symbols, while auto-slices have gray symbols. In addition, ImageReady and the Photoshop Save for Web dialog box use color adjustments to dim unselected slices. These adjustments are for display purposes only and do not affect the final image's color. By default, the color adjustment for auto-slices is twice the amount of that for user-slices. Slice numbers Slices are numbered from left to right and top to bottom, beginning in the upper left corner of the image. If you change the arrangement or total number of slices, slice numbers are updated to reflect the new order. Slice symbols Indicate whether a user-slice is an Image ( ) or No Image ( ) slice; if the slice is a layer-based slice ( ); if the slice is linked ( ); or if the slice includes a rollover effect ( ). (See "Choosing a content type" on page 281, "Linking slices (ImageReady)" on page 285, and "Working with rollovers (ImageReady)" on page 292.) To show or hide slices: Do one of the following: • Turn on display of slices in the View > Show submenu, and choose View > Show Extras. This command also shows or hides: (Photoshop) selection edges, guides, a grid, target path, and notes, or (ImageReady) selection edges, image maps, text bounds, text baseline, and text selection. (See "Working with Extras" on page 77.) • (Photoshop Save for Web dialog box and ImageReady) Click the Slices Visibility button ( ). To change the color of slice lines (Photoshop): 1 Choose a color from the Line Color pop-up menu in the options bar. To change the color of slice lines (ImageReady): 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Slices. 2 Under Slice Lines, choose a color from the Line Color pop-up menu. Changing the color of slice lines automatically changes the color of selected slice lines to a contrasting color. To show or hide slice numbers (Photoshop): Select Show Slice Numbers in the options bar. Slice numbers show when the option is checked.
