Specifying slice background colors

The background color option lets you select a color to fill the transparent area (for Image slices) or entire area (for No Image slices) of the slice.

Photoshop and ImageReady do not display the selected background color--you must preview the image in a browser to view the effect of selecting a background color. (See Previewing an image in a browser.)

To choose a background color:

1. Select a slice. If you are working in the Photoshop Save for Web dialog box, double-click the slice with the Slice Select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
2. In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), select a background color from the Background/BG pop-up menu:
• (Photoshop) Select None, Matte, Eyedropper (to use the color in the eyedropper sample box), White, Black, or Other (using the color picker).
• (ImageReady) Select None, Matte, Foreground Color, Background Color, or Other (to use the color picker), or select a color from the pop-up palette.
