Making Images for the Web 161

Slicing images

Image slicing and image maps are two convenient ways to create navigation

bars and clickable graphics for web pages. With image slicing, a graphic is carved

up into smaller graphics—each of which can have its own link, like any web

graphic—and PhotoPlus saves the sections as separate files when you export the

image. The process also exports HTML tags describing a table containing the

separate graphics, allowing a web browser to reassemble them seamlessly. The

result appears as a single larger graphic, but with different regions linked to

different targets.

For example, the menubar graphic (below top)... can be sliced into four separate

graphics (below bottom), each linked to a different web page.

The Image Slice Tool lets you divide the image into sections which can be

exported to the .GIF or .JPG file format. You can specify alternate text and URL

links for each of the image sections individually.

To slice the image:

Choose the Image Slice Tool from the Standard toolbar.

To place a horizontal slice guide on the image, click on the image at your

chosen cursor position. Shift-click to place a vertical guide. A guide line

appears with each click.

To move a guide, simply drag it.

To delete a guide, drag it out of the image window.

To specify the alternate text and/or link:

Right-click an image slice (any area enclosed by horizontal and vertical slice

guides) and enter the alternate Text and URL (link) information in the

dialog.
