I’ve managed to use photoshop 7 to create slices in an image, but I want these slices to each link to a different web page. I have set up 5 slices with each one linking to a different web page. HOw do I save the .psd file so that I can put the picture on my web page and have it link? I’ve honestly looked everywhere I can find and I cannot get a clear answer, even semi-clear. Thanks for any help! My webpage with the picture I want to use to link is at <http://www.euuc.org/youth/uusite.php> -Nick

Nick,

save the .psd and then open it up in IR. If you already have the image sliced, choose the select slice tool and the slices will appear on your image. If you don’t have the image sliced up, use the create slice tool to make your slices.

For simplicity, try to make (slice) nice and even rows/columns. Where you have uneven rows/columns, IR will create "spacer.gif" images. Not a biggie, just letting you know it will do it. You will need to upload those spacers as well.

Select a slice, then in the slice palette, you can enter a URL (you generally only have to put the file name, not a full path to it) for it and a unique image name (for example, if you have an image for "links" you might wish to call your slice name "links").

Save it via File -> Save Optimized As. Make sure you save as both images and html.

Walwin,

have you ever tried IR for taking an image, slicing it and adding links? It’s really not all that rough to do and is certainly easier than trying to do CSS or using DW or GL!

That said, if one wanted to *learn* html, then DW and GL would be a good way to go.

I also used IR I find that easier and quicker to animate but I figured if he was asking about linking in PS7 I didn’t want fry his brain cells so I offered an alternate way to get the job done I would of said just code it in but like I said it was an alternate way of getting the job done no offense meant
