Splitz! allows you to split any image into rectangular parts and export the resulting images along with the HTML table that puts them back together. This allows webmaster to create for creating mouseover effects and offers an alternative to imagemaps. It supports many images formats and includes smart JPEG compression as well as basic color balancing filters.
Usage:
------
1. Spliting Images:
Splitz! is really easy to use. Open an image by selecting "Open" from the "File" menu. Now, you can use the mouse to define the cells. Left-clicking the image will bring up a cut line where you clicked, right-clicking switches between horizontal and vertical lines. You can also switch between horizontal and vertical lines by using the buttons above the image. The third button with the rectangle glyph allows you to create a rectangular cell, 4 cut lines will be automatically added.
To edit the cut lines, move your mouse over the desired line. When the cursor changes, you can drag the line by holding the left mouse-button. To remove a line, simple drag it outside of the image. To remove all split lines, select "Clear Splits" from the "Tools" menu.
2. Adjusting JPEG compression:
If JPEG is selected as output format, you can adjust the compression level by clicking on the "JPEG" compression tab and using the slider at the bottom of the page. When you change compression, the right-hand image will show you a preview of the whole (!) compressed image.
3. Exporting image and HTML table:
Finally, when you're done, select "Export" from the "File" menu to save the slices along with the HTML table.
That's it, have fun!
