Selecting slices

You select a slice or multiple slices with the Slice Select tool. You can then modify the selected slices.

In ImageReady, you can save, load, and delete slice selections. Using slice selections lets you reselect specific slices quickly and accurately.

To select a slice:

Do one of the following:

• Select the Slice Select tool  and click the slice in the image.When working with overlapping slices, click the visible section of an underlying slice to select it.
• (Photoshop) Choose File > Save For Web. In the dialog box, use the Slice tool to select a slice.

When using either the Slice tool or the Slice Select tool, toggle between them by holding down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS).

• (ImageReady) Select a slice in the Web Content palette.

To select multiple slices (ImageReady):

With the Slice Select tool , do one of the following:

• Shift-click to add slices to the selection.
• Click in an auto slice or outside the image area, and drag across the slices you want to select. (Clicking in a user slice and dragging moves the slice.)
• In the Web Content palette, shift-click multiple slices.

To select all the user slices in a document (ImageReady):

Choose Slices > Select All User Slices. This actually selects all nonauto slices, and includes layer-based slices in the selection.

To save a slice selection (ImageReady):

1. Select one or more slices.
2. Choose Slices > Save Slice Selection.
3. Enter a name in the Selection Name text box, and click OK.

To load a slice selection (ImageReady):

Choose Slices > Load Slice Selection, and select the name of the slice selection you want to load from the submenu.

Note: You must save a slice selection before you can load it.

To delete a slice selection (ImageReady):

Choose Slices > Delete Slice Selection, and select the name of the slice selection you want to delete from the submenu. Deleting a slice selection does not delete the slices themselves.
