Converting layer-based image maps to tool-based image maps

Because a layer-based image map area is tied to the pixel content of a layer, the only way to move, resize, or align it is to edit the layer. You can convert a layer-based image map area to a tool-based image map area to unlink it from the layer.

To convert a layer-based image map area to a tool-based image map area:

1. Select a layer-based image map area using the image map select tool . (See Selecting image maps.)
2. Choose Promote Layer Based Image Map Area from the Image Map palette menu. If the layer contains multiple, non-overlapping areas of pixel content, multiple tool-based image map areas are produced.
