Exporting Slices
Once you have finished slicing your work, you can export the images
(GIFs or JPEGs). You can also create an HTML file with a table that
contains all of the images. The options to perform these functions are
available in the Slicer Export Options dialog box.
Slicer Export Options dialog box
To access this palette, ensure that you have selected at least one slice.
Next, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac). This action will
bring up the Slice context menu. Select Export Slices from the Slice
Operations menu.
Replace existing images (A )
Checking this feature automatically replaces existing images that
have the same file name and location. If unchecked, then a dialog box
will warn you when a slice is about to be replaced.
HTML Export options (B )
This option creates an HTML file that will contain the images to be
exported. The file will contain one table that will link with all of the
images. These settings can affect how the HTML table will be
designed.
Render empty slices (C )
If checked, all empty spaces (within the rectangle that determines the
boundary of all of the selected slices) will be rendered. If not
checked, the cell in the table will appear to be empty. For rendering
the empty slices, default image options will be used.
Use spacing GIFs (D )
When working with complex tables, it may become necessary to uti-
lize a one-pixel wide transparent GIF image as a spacer. The spacer
should be used to fill all empty cells in a table. It also should be used
to fill cells in a false row and column. They are added to the table (as
the first row/column) so that a Web browser is forced to accurately
display a complex HTML table.
Note: You do not have to create these false cells in your document;
they will be generated automatically.
The Use spacing GIFs option will give you the ability to choose one
of the predefined, commonly used names. You also have the option
to enter your own spacer name.
The Slice Export Options dialog
box is available from the Slice
Operations menu.
