About image maps (ImageReady)

Image maps link an area of an image to a URL. You can set up multiple linked areas—called image map areas—in an
image, with links to other web pages or multimedia files.
When choosing between using slices or image maps to create hyperlinks, consider the following:
Using image maps keeps the exported image intact as a single file, whereas using slices causes the image to be
•
exported as separate files (one per slice).
With image maps, you can link circular, polygonal, or rectangular areas in an image; with slices you can link only
•
rectangular areas.
• Image maps do not allow as much flexibility in optimization as slices.
Note: To avoid unexpected results, do not create image map areas in slices that contain URL links—some browsers ignore
either the image map links or the slice links.
