Adobe Photoshop - Saving a file with slices for the web

Expert: Kevin Stohlmeyer - 10/27/2009

Question

Web Header Image

I am working on a web image that is comprised of text and image layers. The white text sits on a transparent layer. I need to keep the file size down without losing the crispness of the text or the transparent layer below it. Is there a way I can compress the layers at different sizes -- make one a png-24 and the rest png-8? I've tried making layer-based slices, but is there a way to save the separate slices as one single image file?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Answer
Hi Carolyn,

In the Save for Web and Devices window, make sure you can see your optimized image. Then click on a slice and change the setting to what you want, then click another and you can change slices individually. You cannot compress layers at different rates, only slices. There is no way to create a single image as one file. What you will end up doing is saving out the HTML and slices and using the HTML code to reassemble in the browser.

Thanks

Kevin
