Slicing Images

[Scootertaj]

Hey I am kind've knew to graphics and stuff (as I have been spending most of my time just coding) and I have come across people saying they "sliced up images from PS" what does this mean?

Basically, they crop the image, and save the slices (individual images) along with the crappy HTML that the image-editor produces.

Personally, I slice up the images, and then export just the images, and code up the layout manually.

Try searching Google for "slicing tutorials" and see what comes up :) .

This (http://home.earthlink.net/~harbingerofthevoid/retest/) is a sliced up image and so is this (http://borderlandrelics.com) . Basically that general layout was all one big PS file and then the header/footer were chopped off and coded into the needed divs. For general layout stuff it's easier if your using graphics as oppossed to pure code. That way all it takes is a code here and there and everything lines up.
