Slice tool suggestions

Hey everyone,

First time poster and I'm glad to be here.

I just had a question about the slice tool. Is there anyway I can save slices I make to one .psd file so they can be applied to another .psd file?

For example with these two layouts (2 images):

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q6/slackzmaster/angst2.jpg

If I could apply some certain slices to the first one, it would be nice to automatically be able to apply them to the second. Is this possible.

Thanks for the suggestions,

-z

Hi Zack,

I'm not sure of any way of taking slices from one psd and putting into another psd.

HOWEVER, I think in your case it would be best to just flatten the layers of the second psd, and copy that layer over to the first psd with the slices already in place. That way you don't have to reslice everything.

And custom king: The slice tool helps you chop up a web layout so that you have separate images for everything. For example the buttons on the navigation bar should be sliced so that they get saved as separate images and can then be worked with in the web code. If you have any more questions about it let us know, I've been making websites since 11th grade (which is what... 6-7 years ago)
