Hi there,

I’ve got a graphic in Photoshop CS3 Extended that is a map of the UK, split into regions. I’d like to use this to create an image map for a web page, for hovering over certain regions.

I’ve got the main blank map, then a layer for each coloured region.

How can I achieve this in Photoshop? I just need to get all the coordinates for each of the regions. I know you can do it manually, but there’s so many points it would be tedious and prone to error.

Thanks for any advice,

Ste

Try the "New layer based slice" in the Layers menu which transforms every layer in a new slice

Once I’ve done that, how can I get the coordinates for the different slices?

Thanks
