Selecting slices

You select a slice with the slice select tool in order to apply modifications to it. In the Photoshop Save for Web dialog box and in ImageReady, you can select multiple slices.

To select a slice:

Do one of the following:

• Select the slice select tool , and click on a slice in the image. When working with overlapping slices, click the visible section of an underlying slice to select it.

To toggle between the slice tool and the slice select tool, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS).

• (ImageReady) Select a slice in the Rollovers palette. (See Using the Rollovers 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 ImageReady, you can save, load, and delete slice selections. Using slice selections lets you reselect specific slices quickly and accurately.

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.
