SliceAndDice 3.2 review

In the past, web page designers would spend hours in PhotoShop, carefully dividing images into smaller subimages, then creating an HTML table to put the subimages back together, then editing the HTML to add a URL to each subimage.

In the past, web page designers would spend hours in PhotoShop, carefully dividing images into smaller subimages, then creating an HTML table to put the subimages back together, then editing the HTML to add a URL to each subimage. (Here's an article on the subject.)

SliceAndDice automates that process.

Simply drag in an image, drag on horizontal and vertical cut lines, and drag on or type in URLs for each subimage. SliceAndDice will subdivide your image, create an HTML Table with the subimages and links, and display the reassembled image in your web browser.

Here are some key features of "SliceAndDice":
Divide images into subimages, each of which can have its own URL
Create navigation bars and ersatz image maps
Create JavaScript rollovers
Replace subimages with other images, including animated GIFs.
Drag and drop images and subimages
Crop images
Control the output image format: choose JPEG, GIF, TIFF, or PNG with control over compression, interlace and dithering
Edit the HTML produced by SliceAndDice because the output is extremely readable
Give each subimage a name or use SliceAndDice’s automatic and convenient naming by row and column position.

Limitations:
30 day trial
You can only slice and dice the images under the 'Samples' menu.

What's New:
Editing a link will update when you save even if you haven't left the URL field
Better integration with Create.
