Duplicating slices

You can create a duplicate slice with the same dimensions and optimization settings as the original. If the original slice is a linked user slice, the duplicate is linked to the same set of linked slices. For more information, see Linking slices (ImageReady). Duplicate slices are always user slices, regardless of whether the original is a user slice, a layer-based slice, or an auto slice.

In ImageReady, you can also copy and paste slices within or between documents.

To duplicate a slice:

Do one of the following:

• Select a slice. (In ImageReady, you can select multiple slices.) Then Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) from inside the selection. In ImageReady, you can also choose Slices > Duplicate Slice(s) or Duplicate Slice(s) from the Slice palette menu.
• (ImageReady) Select a slice in the Rollovers palette, and choose Duplicate Slice from the palette menu. (See Using the Rollovers palette.)

The duplicate slice appears on top of the original (offset 10 pixels down and to the right) and can be moved, resized, or otherwise modified.

To copy and paste a slice (ImageReady):

1. Select one or more slices.
2. Choose Copy Slice from the Slice palette menu.
3. If you want to paste into another image, open and display that image.
4. Choose Paste Slice from the Slice palette menu. If you paste the slice into the same image as you copied it from, the pasted slice appears on top of the original.
