Converting layer-based slices to user slices

Because a layer-based slice is tied to the pixel content of a layer, the only way to move, combine, divide, resize, and align it is to edit the layer. You can convert a layer-based slice to a user slice to unlink it from the layer.

To convert a layer-based slice to a user slice:

1. Select a layer-based slice. In ImageReady, you can select multiple slices. (See Selecting slices.)
2. Do one of the following:
• (Photoshop) Click Promote to User Slice in the options bar.
• (ImageReady) Choose Slices > Promote to User-slices.
