As Simple As Photoshop > Tools > Slice Tool

The Slice Tool cuts images to pieces for Web publications:

  • In the Toolbox, select the Slice Tool, click on the image and drag a rectangle holding mouse's button pressed.
  • To add a slice just drag another rectangle.
  • To create a slice with pre-defined proportions choose Fixed Aspect Ratio option and set Width and Height values.
  • To create a slice with pre-defined size choose Fixed Size option and fill Width and Height fields.
  • In Photoshop 7* you can move and resize with the Slice Tool the bounding box of currently active slice. To move a slice by a few pixels you can use keyboard cursor keys.

  • Right-click on a slice to open the tool's context menu. Via this menu you can access commands available for slices in Photoshop. To access the rest of Slice commands you have to switch to ImageReady.
* In Photoshop 6 for moving / resizing slices you need Slice Select Tool.
