The Slices panel allows you to export defined areas of your design to universally recognised image formats.
Once an export area has been defined, the Slices panel allows you to export the area at various sizes and formats.
The panel can be populated with one or more slices. Each slice possesses a single export setup, within which multiple export formats (detailing file format and scaling options) may be stored. In turn, each export format can have multiple export sizes. This allows different graphics formats, of different sizes, to be exported from each slice simultaneously.
The following options are available in the panel:
Copy export setup to clipboard—copies a selected slice's export setup (including multiple export formats) to clipboard. If you select a graphic-specific export format within the setup, the button can be used to copy that export format to another slice's export setup.
Replace export setup from clipboard—pastes a copied slice's export setup from the clipboard to another selected 'target' slice. A copied export format can be pasted too.
Add Export format from clipboard—pastes a copied export format selected from a slice's export setup and adds it to another slice's export setup.
Delete—removes the panel item and corresponding export area from the page. The Page panel item cannot be deleted.
Export Slices (n)—exports all checked panel items.The following options are available in the export setup for each slice entry:
Page—indicates that the export area is the entire page.
Slice—indicates an export area drawn with the Slice Tool.
Slice (from item)—indicates an export area created from a layer, group or object.
Active/Inactive—when checked, the area is exported when Export Slices (n) is clicked at the bottom of the panel. Export—exports the area represented by the panel item.You can store multiple formats within every slice's export setup. The following options are available for each format:
Export—exports the slice using this export format.
