Can I use Photoshop "Slice" to simply split an image into many parts?
I need to figure out a way ASAP to split a large (8.5 x 11 inches) JPG
image into separate jpgs. My school has printed pages of barcodes, 2 columns by 13 or so. I need to handle about 500 barcodes, and separate them into separate jpg files to be printed on library cards/badges. Can I use Photoshop (recent, CS) "Slice" to do this? It's very confusing as it tries to mainly build a web page etc. Can anyone clue me in on how to "pretty simply" get the 26 or so separate image files from one input file? I have worked (played??) a bit right now with "Slice" and I can get the slicing set up OK to outline the sections I need... Many thanks... Regards, Terry King ...On The Mediterranean in Carthage |

Regards, Terry King ...On The Mediterranean in Carthage according to this instruction you can save the images OR html from slice, but I have to say I've never used the thing http://www.mediacollege.com/graphics...ool/slice.html Personally I'd just use the marquee tool and copy and save each section with that, but I find photoshop cumbersome so I would probably have used paintshop pro, which has a nice handy 'paste as a new image' so you could have each section on the work surface until you've cropped them all then save them in order. -- Paul (Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

I use Serif PagePlus, I would think any serious editing program would let you copy a selection to the clipboard then paste with options as new image, into a selection of an exisitng image or as a new layer. When you paste as new image or layer, the pixel dimensions will be that of the selection. When you paste into a selection re-sampling will take place to make the copy physically fit. I've never looked at slicing, a quick look in the help file states it's useful for creating navigation bars on web pages, I didn't read any further since it's something I'll probably never need.

wrote in message oups.com... I need to figure out a way ASAP to split a large (8.5 x 11 inches) JPG image into separate jpgs. No sweat. The short, easy way is to use ImageReady. Create guides. Slice on Guides. Save Optimized. Done. You can do the same in CS and CS2, but not quite as easily. |

Seem like you could accomplish the same thing by selective crops out of the master image. |

As the barcodes are probably the same general size with some white background around them, the above method will work well. Once you have setup your Marquee Selection to the size you want, Save Selection, place it over the first barcode, Ctrl-J, to create a new Layer from that barcode. Load Selection (Saved above), click the Lasso (or most other Selection tools) in the area of the Selection, THEN press Shift to constrain the move of the Selection, and drag down to the next barcode. Repeat Ctrl-J. Soon, you will have each barcode on a separate Layer. From here, you can export each Layer to a New Image, or whatever you wish to do with them. You could un-check all but one, and then Print it, but I'd migrate each to a New Image, sized as you wish, so you don't print, say one barcode onto an 8.5 x 11 sheet. You could dispense with the Layer creation, but by creating them, then saving the Layered image as a PSD, all of the work will be done, and Saved for later use. In Paul's method, a few keyboard short-cuts will speed things up: set up Marquee, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-N (New Image), Click on OK, as PS will setup the New Image per the size of the image in the Clipboard, Ctrl-S (will bring up Save_As, and you choose a name for each created New Image. The holding down of Shift, with a Selection Tool in the Marquee, will allow you to drag the Selection in a constrained path. Hunt Hah, thanks for that Hunt, I'm lousy at getting things speeded up :O) -- Paul (Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
