Optimizing slices


    You can optimize Image slices using the Save for Web dialog box (Photoshop) or the Optimize palette (ImageReady).

    All Image slices use the optimization settings of the entire image until you apply new settings. If you select multiple slices with different optimization settings, only the controls that are relevant to all of the selected slices are visible. If settings for a control differ among slices, the control is blank. Any settings you choose are applied to all selected slices.

    In ImageReady, you can also copy optimization settings from one slice to another within a document, or from a slice in one view to a slice in another view in 2-Up or 4-Up view.

To optimize a slice:

    Select one or more Image slices, and specify options in the Optimize panel/palette. (See Optimizing images.)

To copy optimization settings between slices (ImageReady):

  1. Select the slice that uses the optimization settings you want to copy.
  2. Drag the Droplet icon Droplet icon from the Optimize palette onto the slice to which you want to apply the optimization settings.
