Slicing and Dicing with PSP 7

October 6, 2000

Slicing images up into sections for placement in a table has been the webdevelopers bane since it was first discovered that cool designs could be created with tables, and images would load faster if they were cut up into smaller pieces. If you couldn't afford the more expensive graphic programs that expedited this process for you, you were stuck doing it by hand. Definitely not a fun time, but Jasc has come to the rescue with it's latest release of Paint Shop Pro! PSP7 includes several new web features, one of which is a slicer that handles the job very well.

The Slicer not only slices the image into neat little sections but also saves the location of each section as a table cell and generates the HTML! Not only that, but if a rollover effect is your desire, PSP will also generate the necessary JavaScript! Does life get any better than this?

The Slicer tool can be found in the File Menu under File > Export > Image Slicer . Once the dialog box opens, you're faced with an array of choices, tools, cell properties, rollovers and more!


The tools are pretty straight forward and do what you would expect. The Arrow is a selection tool used for selecting a section that has already been sliced. The Grid is cool. Use it to automatically select equally divided areas. The Slicer selects areas of varying sizes. This is great for dividing up an image for use in tables where you only want certain sections of the image to appear in the table. Delete erases a cut made in error and Pan is used to move around an image that is larger than the preview area. But let's look at this whole thing in more detail.
