The Benefit of Image Slicing<\/h3>\n\n\n\nImage slicing is beneficial for the use of images on the web as it allows the Internet to load individual parts of the image, one piece at a time. It is especially useful for designers and web developers that work with very high-resolution images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a slow Internet connection, such large files take a lot of time to render or sometimes don’t even open clearly. You can create slices with three attributes: Normal, Fixed Aspect Ratio, and Fixed size. Normal is the slice size where the slice is the area you mark as one slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fixed aspect ratio is where the size of the slice is in the whole number system. For instance, you can specify the height as 20 units while width as 10 units, for a slice. The Fixed sized slice has the height and width specified in terms of pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can compress the image, but it will only make the image’s quality suffer, to a certain extent. Therefore, slicing is the solution to rendering large pictures on the web. It is also beneficial for users that have slow internet connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slicing, as we previously saw, allows you to let the image render piece by piece, one piece at a time. The slicing tool cuts the high-resolution pictures into pieces, and each piece saves as a separate file. This method optimizes the usage of the file over the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photoshop is a smart tool that creates HTML or CSS to display the sliced image. When it loads in a web page, each section or “slice” of the image is rendered and reassembled in the browser to generate a smooth-looking image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
