You can specify unique optimization settings for each slice in a sliced document. For example, you might want to do this when one part of your graphic contains a photographic image best exported as a JPEG, while another part might be a solid area of white, which would be better compressed as a GIF. By drawing a slice over each part, you can set each part to export differently.
When you select a slice object on the Web Layer, the Optimize panel displays the settings for that slice.
To set optimization settings for a slice:
| 1 | Select a slice object. |
| If slice objects are not visible, click the Show Hotspots and Slices button in the Toolbox. These buttons hide and show the Web Layer.
|
|
| Show Hotspots and Slices button
|
|
| Hide Hotspots and Slices button |
|
| 2 | Enter optimization settings in the Optimize panel. |
| The selected slice is now set to be exported with the specified optimization settings. | |
