Using tools for the Web in Photoshop

Photoshop doesn’t have a whole lot of tools dedicated to the preparation of Web images (though it does have quite a few commands). That’s mainly because its companion program, ImageReady, takes up the slack in that department. You will find the Slice tool and Slice Select tool which allow you to create and select slices, or rectangular sections, from an image. You can then optimize, and apply Web features like rollovers and image maps, to those slices separately for the best viewing experience on your Web page.
