In-Depth Information
The Slice Selection tool allows you to edit slices you've created using different
methods. You can also select a user slice with the Selection (
) or Direct Selection
(
) tools by clicking the stroke (edge) of the slice or from within the Layers panel.

Position the pointer over the lower-right corner of the selected slice. When a
double arrow appears, click and drag toward the center of the logo until it fits
tighter around the logo content. Make sure to include all of the logo content within
the slice area.
When adjusting slices manually, you should contain all appearance attributes, like
drop shadows, in the slice area. This can be difficult if the shadow is very blurry.
Using the Object > Slice > Create From Selection command creates a slice that
surrounds all appearance properties, like effects, if those effects are applied direc-
tly to the artwork and not to the layer the artwork is on (with multiple objects on
the same layer). Using the Slice Selection tool, you can click and drag a slice, copy
and paste it, delete it, and much more.

Choose Select > Deselect, and then choose View > Lock Slices so that you cannot
select them.

Choose File > Save.
Using the Save For Web command
After slicing your artwork, if necessary, you can then optimize that artwork for use on the
Web. You can use the File > Save For Web command to select optimization options and to
preview optimized artwork. The key to the effective use of images on a website is finding
the balance of resolution, size, and color to achieve optimal quality.
