Designing Web Pages
To snap slices to a guide or another user-slice:
Select the options you want from the View >
1
Snap To submenu, and choose View > Snap.
(See "Working with snap" on page 152.) A check
mark indicates that the option is turned on.
Move the selected slices as desired. The slices

snap to any guide or slice within 4 pixels.
Dividing user-slices and auto-slices
(ImageReady)
In ImageReady, the Divide Slice dialog box lets you
divide one or more slices horizontally, vertically,
or both. Duplicate slices are always user-slices,
regardless of whether the original is a user-slice or
an auto-slice.
Note: You cannot divide layer-based slices.
To divide slices:
1 Select one or more slices.
Do one of the following:
2
Choose Slices > Divide Slice(s).
•
Choose Divide Slice(s) from the Slice
•
palette menu.
Select Preview in the Divide Slice dialog box to
3
preview the changes.
In the Divide Slice dialog box, select one or both
4
of the following options:
Divide Horizontally Into to divide the slice
•
lengthwise.
Divide Vertically Into to divide the slice
•
width-wise.
5 Define how you want to divide each
selected slice:
• Select and enter a value for slices down or slices
across to divide each slice evenly into the specified
number of slices.
• Select and enter a value for pixels per slice to
divide each slice based on the specified number of
pixels. Any section of a slice that is left over is made
into another slice. For example, if you divide a slice
that is 100 pixels wide into three new slices each 30
pixels wide, the remaining 10-pixel-wide area
becomes a new slice.
Click OK.

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. (See
"Linking slices (ImageReady)" on page 285.)
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:
Select a slice. In ImageReady, you can select
1
multiple slices.
2 Do one of the following:
• Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS)
from inside the selection. (Dragging from the edge
will resize a user-slice.)
