Dividing, duplicating, and combining slices


    You can duplicate or combine any slices, and you can divide slices that weren't made with the Make (Slice) command.

To divide a slice:

  1. Select a slice that wasn't created using the Object > Slice > Make command.
  2. Choose Object > Slice > Divide Slices.
  3. In the Divide Slice dialog box, select from the following options:
    • Divide Horizontally Into to divide the slice or slices lengthwise.
    • Divide Vertically Into to divide the slice or slices widthwise.
  4. Define how you want to divide each selected slice, and click OK:
    • Enter a value for slices down or slices across to divide each slice evenly into the specified number of slices.
    • Enter a value for pixels per slice to divide each slice based on the specified number of pixels. Any section of a slice that is left over is made into another slice.

To duplicate a slice:

    Select a slice (see Selecting slices), and then do one of the following:

    • Choose Object > Slice > Duplicate Slice.
    • Choose Edit > Copy. To paste the slice into another file, open the destination file, and then choose Edit > Paste.
    • Select the Slice Select tool Slice Select tool , hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and start dragging from within the slice area to where you want the duplicate slice to be.

To combine slices:

  1. Select the slices you want to combine.
  2. Choose Object > Slice > Combine Slices.
  3. The resulting slice takes its dimensions and position from the rectangle created by joining the outer edges of the combined slices. If the combined slices are not adjacent or are of different proportions or alignments, the new slice may overlap other slices.
