Change The Stacking Order Of Slices; Align And Distribute User Slices; Delete A Slice; Lock All Slices - Adobe Photoshop CS6 User Manual

Change the stacking order of slices

When slices overlap, the last slice you create is the top slice in the stacking order. You can change the stacking order to gain access to underlying
slices. You can specify which slice is on the top and bottom of the stack and move slices up or down in the stacking order.
Note: You cannot arrange the stacking order of auto slices.
1. Select a slice or multiple slices.
2. Choose the Slice Select tool
Stacking order options
A. Bring To Front B. Bring Forward C. Send Backward D. Send To Back

Align and distribute user slices

You can align user slices along an edge or their centers, and distribute user slices evenly along the vertical or horizontal axis. By aligning and
distributing user slices, you can eliminate unneeded auto slices and generate a smaller, more efficient HTML file.
Note: To align or distribute layer-based slices, align or distribute the contents of the layers.
1. Select the user slices you want to align.
2. Choose the Slice Select tool
Alignment options
A. Top B. Vertical Centers C. Bottom D. Left E. Horizontal Centers F. Right
Distribute options
A. Top B. Vertical Centers C. Bottom D. Left E. Horizontal Centers F. Right

Delete a slice

When you delete a user slice or layer-based slice, auto slices are regenerated to fill the document area.
Deleting a layer-based slice does not delete the associated layer; however, deleting the layer associated with a layer-based slice does delete the
layer-based slice.
Note: You cannot delete auto slices. If you delete all user slices and layer-based slices in an image, one auto slice covering the entire image
remains.
1. Select one or more slices.
2. Choose the Slice or Slice Select tool and press the Backspace key or the Delete key.
3. To delete all user slices and layer-based slices, choose View > Clear Slices.

Lock all slices

Locking slices prevents you from resizing, moving, or otherwise changing them accidentally.
Choose View > Lock Slice.
