Resizing and moving slices using numeric coordinates

You can set the exact position and dimensions for a user slice using the Dimensions options. In ImageReady, you can also set the exact position and dimensions for a layer-based slice using the Layer Apron options.

In ImageReady, if the Dimensions or Layer Apron options aren't showing, choose Show Options from the Slice palette menu, or click the Show Options button on the palette tab to view them.

To resize and move a user slice using numeric coordinates:

1. Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the slice select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
2. In the Dimensions area of the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), change one or more of the following options:
• X to specify the distance in pixels between the left edge of the slice and the origin point of the ruler in the document window.
• Y to specify the distance in pixels between the top edge of the slice and the origin point of the ruler in the document window.

Note: The default origin point of the ruler is the upper left corner of the image. (See Using rulers, columns, the measure tool, guides, and the grid.)

• W to specify the width of the slice.
• H to specify the height of the slice.
• Constrain Proportions to preserve the current proportions of the slice.

To resize and move a layer-based slice using numeric coordinates (ImageReady):

1. Select a slice.
2. In the Slice palette, change one or more of the following options:
• L to specify the distance in pixels between the left edge of the slice and the left edge of the layer's content.
• T to specify the distance in pixels between the top edge of the slice and the top edge of the layer's content.
• R to specify the distance in pixels between the right edge of the slice and the right edge of the layer's content.
• B to specify the distance in pixels between the bottom edge of the slice and the bottom edge of the layer's content.
