designers: how do you cut-up a photoshop image for html tables?
 

Is there a trick or just a matter of 'show grid' and cut it up manually?

Try to use Image Ready.

There you are able to work easily with slices

I just slice it in PS using guides. Image ready is also a handy tool to have. :thumbsup

slice up your image in photoshop, import into imageready and save :)

You can use your slice tool on the toolbar, or you can use the "create slice from layer" option. Some people use imageready, I do all mine right in PS. If you do a save for web once you'd made your slices, you can have it generate the html for you as well.

You mean printing it out and using an x-acto knife then rescaning each piece is not how everyone else does it?

Fireworks is also a great tool for cutting the images..

Thanks!


So Image Ready sounds cool.. is there a stand-alone version available?

I run PS 5.5 and all Image Ready links refer to Photoshop CS
on Adobe's site.

I tried an x-acto knife but it scratched my screen :mad:

Right! :thumbsup

why import it? save for web feature in PS does teh exact same thing but with better compression.

Can't agree with that. The compression and the quality is way better when i save it optimized within image ready. Maybe it's me who is doing something wrong ... dunno. But in the past i had everytime better results using image ready.

Image Ready works great. :)

Hey SubSonic, I like the button in your sig. You make that?

Upgrade biatch!

I just flatten image and add a background layer and color it in

then carefully crop out the images

if I fuck up, I just do it again

Yep PlayGirl ... i made it. With Photoshop and ImageReady :1orglaugh

ROFL!!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yes, I still do that occasionally.

manually

it's pretty :thumbsup

Thanks :)

Just wait until you'll see our new program that is coming out tomorrow :winkwink:

But for now i am off to bed. :)

guess there's no other option..

Ive been using PS 5x since day one and using it has become second nature but i need IR..

Thanks for the great advice ppl!
