Can I use Photoshop "Slice" to simply split an image into many parts?
OK, here's what I finally did, that worked out pretty well. THANKS! for
all the help and suggestions. Regards, Terry King ----------------------( copy )------------------------ How-To slice many, many barcodes printed on 8.5x11 or A4 etc. paper into separate image files to go on badges etc: Terry King 1.01 10/24/05 1. Set your scanner to 300 or 360 DPI, color, 24 bits(Works better than Grayscale!) 2. Set your scanner 'cropping' to just enclose your maximum number of barcodes (Probably 24 per page. Get the edges close to the top and bottom of the barcodes. 3. Scan to a high-quality JPG file. 4. In PhotoShop (I used CS) open the scanned image. Hit Ctrl-0 to make it large. Orient it like a normal readable page. 5. In Photoshop, select the SLICE tool 6. Right-click out in your image and select DIVIDE SLICE 7. Set the divide into the correct number of horizontal and vertical slices for your image. Check that the slice boundaries are in between the barcodes. You have to get the scanned image to be the right size, some multiple of the barcode size. - Click OK NOTE: For 24 barcodes in 2 columns, I used 12 Horizontally, 2 vertically. NOTE: If you have multiple pages, use the one with the most barcodes to set this up. Later you can use the same setup to scan multiple pages. When you automagically slice, some images will be blank because there is no barcode in that 'slice', but that's OK! 8. Right-click again in your main image and select SLICE OPTIONS. Set SLICE TYPE to IMAGE, SLICE BACKGROUND to NONE. 9. Go to FILE menu and click SAVE TO WEB. A new screen will come up after several seconds. 10. Set JPEG, HIGH, OPTIMIZED. Do NOT set PROGRESSIVE etc. 11. Click SAVE on upper right. Set SAVE AS TYPE to IMAGES ONLY. Set SETTINGS to DEFAULT SETTINGS. 12. Select a destination folder. It's often better to save each page of barcodes in a separate folder to avoid cunfusion. 13. Click SAVE on lower right. A progress bar will run, and images will be saved. 14. You will return to Photoshop. I suggest you do NOT 'save' the image, as saving apparently associates it with Slicing somehow... 15. Check your saved images to make sure your scanning boundaries and slice numbers worked out OK. -30- |
