Arrangement commands: Will arrange selected slices in a certain order: Shuffle Up,
Shuffle Down, Bring to Front, Bring to Back (see "Arranging objects in the stacking order" on
page 180).
Exporting slices
Once you have finished slicing your work, you can export the images (GIFs or JPEGs). You can also
create an HTML file with a table that contains all of the images. The options to perform these
functions are available in the Slicer Export Options dialog box.
Slicer Export options
To open this dialog box, select Export Slices from the Slice Operations menu.
Replace existing
images
Selecting this item automatically replaces existing images that have the
same file name and location. If deselected, a dialog box will warn you
when a slice is about to be replaced.
HTML Export options Creates an HTML file that will contain the images to be exported. The file
will contain one table that will link with all of the images. These settings
can affect how the HTML table will be designed.
Render empty slices If checked, all empty spaces (within the rectangle that determines the
boundary of all of the selected slices) will be rendered. If not checked,
the cell in the table will appear to be empty. For rendering the empty
slices, default image options will be used.
Use spacing GIFs When working with complex tables, it may be necessary to use a one-
pixel wide transparent GIF image as a spacer. These spacers force a
Web browser to accurately display a complex HTML table. Choose a
predefined name or enter your own spacer name with only HTML-safe
characters.
Images to subfolder Allows you to name a subfolder to which all images will be exported. If
not checked, then images will be created in the same folder where the
HTML file is being exported. The name of the subfolder should contain
HTML-safe characters only.
Text encoding If activated, all text (i.e., alternative texts and image titles) will be
encoded using the specified encoding. Also, the information about which
encoding is used will be declared in the HTML file’s header. Western
(ISO) is best used for the western Latin alphabet. Unicode (UTF-8) is
best used for other alphabets (central European, Cyrillic, Asian) or
mixed alphabets.
If no encoding is required, then all of the text is exported as is. Only
