| Slice and Dice - a web artist's image slicing app Many web content designers spend hours in PhotoShop carefully dividing images into smaller sub images, then editing the HTML by hand to create a table which puts these images back together again and then laboriously adding a URL one by one to each image. This painful and timeconsuming process can be accomplished in just a few moments with Slice and Dice. Slice And Dice makes it easy to create navigation bars and ersatz image maps, as well as complex mosaics of images that can, as an example, animate Mona Lisa's eye, but only be reloading an image the size of her eye, not the whole painting at each interval. Simply drag an image onto the document window, slice it up with vertical and/or horizontal cuts, drop on your URL's from OmniWeb, and Slice And Dice will automatically subdivide your image, place it into an HTML Table, and show you the reassembled image with its links in OmniWeb. The output subimages can be saved as JPEG, GIF, TIFF or PNG format, with control over compression, interlace, etc. The output HTML is extremely readable and editable, and the images are cleverly named by their row and column position. Choose "Sample -> Slice This" to begin slicing and dicing an image. HINT: For quick cropping of images, Command-Drag to copy a piece of the image, then Paste | ||||
