As designers, we often add links to documents and websites, but adding hyperlinks in Photoshop is not as easy. Therefore, we’re going to look at the step-by-step process of how to add a hyperlink in Photoshop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Adobe Photoshop, changing backgrounds, simulation of a real-life poster, or creating a parallel universe view is made possible. It’s also possible to add a hyperlink<\/strong><\/a> (also known as a URL) to an image directly in Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are pros and cons of Photoshop<\/strong><\/a>, as with any application, but in this tutorial, we will just focus on the often-desired feature of hyperlinking an image directly within the program. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Using the Slice tool:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slice tool is a tool in Adobe <\/strong>Photoshop<\/strong><\/a> that enables a user to create a batch of images from a straightforward or a layered image. With this tool, you select an area on the image that you want to preserve for further users. The remaining space can be exported to a new Photoshop document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the creation of multiple slices of one image, you can save each slice as an individual document. To use this tool, you have to keep the image as an HTML<\/strong><\/a> file instead of a JPEG file format. A layperson can also use this feature as it does not require any kind of knowledge in coding. Photoshop generates the syntax of HTML needed and embeds the picture in a web-friendly format for the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open an image in Photoshop. Ideally, you should use a large painting for this purpose. Select the “Slice tool” from the Photoshop toolbox. If the tool is invisible, click and hold the right bottom corner of the Crop tool or other tools in the group. Once you see the Slice tool, select it by clicking on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are things that you need to consider before working with a Slice Tool. You can create slices of an individual image using a Slice tool or the layers of the picture. The selection of slices is made using the Slice Selection tool. You can move, resize or realign the slice with other slices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it is possible to specify the name for each slice, type of the slice, and the URL. Optimization methods of each slide are available in the settings of the “Save for Web” dialog box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Slicing the image:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drag the mouse cursor around the image of real estate that you want to be turned into a hyperlink. For creating one hyperlink on an image, you have to drag the cursor over the entire picture. You can select multiple areas on the same image that can have different hyperlinks. Here, we are going to select various areas where we will place a hyperlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefit of Image Slicing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Image 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
