So I am using Photoshop to edit an image. I have marked the slices so that the image is in 4-5 parts. Now I want to convert the one psd file such that the output are 4-5 GIF images, which form a complete pic when put together. Does anyone know how to do that? I have marked the slices, but don't know how to get the GIFs. Save as doesn't work as it will give only one full GIF image.

do you mean that you want it to be animated ?

I was thinking about roll-over effects, but doesn't have to be. Just need 4-5 smaller GIF files rather than one big file. Like what most websites usually have for the layout.

a lot of times that is generated by macromedia fireworks which chops up your drawings into slices for you.

but to do this without fireworks,
just export as a gif each time with the appropriate layer on top
then do a rollover something like <img src="foo1.gif" onMouseOver='this.src="foo2.gif"'> or some such...

yeah, that's what I was trying to do. But to export it as 4-5 GIFs, I'll have to cut it manually and make each of them as a new image. And then, it would be a pain to put them back together since its hard to cut them all perfectly to fit well.

well either read the little thing while you are highlighting that tells you the pixel count
or use something else

In Photoshop 7...

Open file, create your slices
File -> Save for web... (shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S)
opens the save for web tool, adjust your gif settings as you see fit
Save button
should ask you to save an html file, with all the slices properly saved and arranged.
