Dividing artwork into slices


    Web pages can contain many elements--HTML text, bitmap images, and vector graphics, to name a few. In Illustrator, you can use slices to define the boundaries of different Web elements in your artwork. For example, if your artwork contains a bitmap image that needs to be optimized in JPEG format, while the rest of the image is better optimized as a GIF file, you can isolate the bitmap image using a slice. When you save the artwork as a Web page, you can choose to save each slice as an independent file with its own format, settings, and color palette.
