Re: Image Slicing in Image Styler

Lonna--

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do. It probably would help if 
you gave the URL of a site that has something similar to what you 
want, etc..

Here's a few thoughts:

(1) If you have ImageReady, you can control where the slices are 
made. (If you don't have ImageReady, you can get it by upgrading to 
PS 5.5.) You also could do this manually in Photoshop.

(2) You could create a large graphic, slice and dice it, then use the 
top parts and left-side parts while throwing away the rest.

(3) You could combine a graphic with a background image. For example, 
create a background tile that gives you a stripe down the left side 
of the page. Then add a graphic bar at the top, using the same color 
as the stripe. They should blend. Then, you can add nav links, either 
in HTML text, or as buttons with graphic text and the same background 
color, on the left (in front of the background stripe).


The problem with CSS is that it isn't supported by the older browsers.
