Slice operations context menu
The context menu can only be accessed if the Slice Selector tool is selected. Some of the commands
are available only if they are relevant to the context of the current situation.
To open the slice operations context menu:
Right-click the Slice Selector tool on a slice.
Select this slice: selects the slice at the cursor’s current position.
Deselect this slice: Deselects a slice if it is the only one selected.
Remove from selection: Removes the slice at the cursor position from the selection set.
Select/Deselect all slices: Selects or deselects all slice objects.
Delete slice(s) : Deletes all currently selected slices.
Divide slice: Allows you to divide a slice horizontally and/or vertically into smaller slices.
When choosing this command, the Slice divider dialog box appears with two options.
Slice Divider dialog box
Horizontally Specifies how many horizontal portions in which the slice will be divided.
To prevent horizontal division of the slice, a value of 1 can be specified.
Vertically Specifies how many vertical portions in which the slice will be divided.
To prevent vertical division of the slice, a value of 1 can be specified.
Using this method, a slice that overlaps another slice cannot be
divided.
Split slice: Splits all selected slices that are overlapped by other slices. Slices are sliced
along the soft slice-lines. This operation separates the image into individual slices. These
slices will have the parent slice’s parameters by default, but the parameters can be modified.
Export slice: Exports slices as images. It can also create an HTML file with a table that will
contain all of your image slices (see "Exporting slices" on page 707).
