spanning graphics over several cells

D

Dave

can anyone tell me the easiest way to take a large image
and 'split' it among several cells in a table?

thanks,

1. Split the image and insert into each cell.
2. Merge the cells and insert the image.

excellent thanks, i think my main question was how do you
split it? i've tried PS but not too much luck.

Make it the background image for a table and then place another table with
cells on top of it.

Is there a reason why you need to split the image?

Hi,
I'm assuming PS = PhotoShop not PaintShop. If so open your picture in
ImageReady click the slice tool (looks like a knife) and slice your picture
as needed then hit File - Save Optimised As and save it wherever you like.

If you mean PaintShop ask someone else - that program is on my 2 worst
programs ever made list :)

if you have it, fireworks does a good job with slicing images into tables, but
there are free products on the 'net that do the same job (ranging from making
rollovers, layers and so on to simple slicing, generating html to reintegrate in
the browser.

FP itself does not have this capability.

But that (table bk) won't be supported by NN4x

PaintShop Pro 8.0 also has a great built in image slicer ...

Having been a PaintShop Pro user since it was a $29.95 shareware offering, I
have the opposite opinion. I think that it is excellent value for money, has
tons of features only found in more expensive programs like PhotoShop and is
also well supported by PSP user groups and developers. To each his / her own
.... :)

This from PaintShop Pro's Help file --

"When you slice an image, you divide it into several smaller images that you
can save in different formats or at different levels of optimization.
Because these optimized images can take less time to download than one large
image, your Web pages may load more quickly."

56K (usually a lot less) is the maximum spec for many (vast majority?) of
phone connected users.
This can be very slow when fetching pages from a server on the other side of
the world.

I was going to tape some records onto a cassette, but I got the wires
backwards. I erased all of the records. When I returned them to my
friend, he said, "Hey, these records are all blank."
