In-Depth Information
When you create a slice, Illustrator divides the surrounding artwork into automatic
slices to maintain the layout of the page. Auto slices account for the areas of your
artwork that you did not define as a slice. Illustrator regenerates auto slices every
time you add or edit your own slices. Also, notice the number (3, in our case) in
the upper-left corner of the slice you created. Illustrator numbers slices from left to
right and from top to bottom, beginning in the upper-left corner of the artwork.
Next, you will create a slice based on selected content.
