Give slices another chance !"... Well, still buggy it seems. Pixel preview is perfect, round dimensions everywhere, and still, slices all wrong (1 pixel wrong).<br /><br />Interestingly the same shapes I used for slices do very well when converted to artboards... <br /><br />I guess I will stick to my old fastidious multiple artboards techniques.pachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134466126078733023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-63919368241817856382009-05-12T22:29:00.000-04:002009-05-12T22:29:00.000-04:00@Leito: Is it positioned at a "round pixel" x,y?
O...@Leito: Is it positioned at a "round pixel" x,y?<br />Otherwise, Illustrator might use anti-aliasing on it and average the color, creating another line of pixels.ricardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427737126479587421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-15605586926041452982009-05-10T05:35:00.000-04:002009-05-10T05:35:00.000-04:00Thank you for the post, it is interesting.
I hav...Thank you for the post, it is interesting. <br /><br />I have designing sites and icons in Ai in 10 last years. I have thought about using slices for pages since the slices appeared in Ai. However the slice multi-paging method have two issues: <br /><br />1. Many objects and texts at the same time are appeared on artboard -- it making difficult designing complex websites on not so new computers. But now in CS4 with the updated text engine it is a bit easier.<br /><br />2. Ai does not have master pages like InDesign. Common items (like background or logo of the site for instance) can be placed on each page in slicing method as symbols or placed Ai file. But in this way is difficult to control pixels making with pixel preview. Sometimes after changing a symbol the graphics and shifts.<br /><br />In the years I have using another method. I have making a common layer and a layer for each page. If the art on the pages is complicated I use sublayers. <br /><br />It is true that each page has to be saved as PNG separately but the layers method allows control making of each pixel. Combinations (or compositions) of the layers can be saved as view (View > New View). To all (ten first) views can be assigned shortcuts.<br /><br />Websites and icons have been made in Ai can be seen on my site: www.kletsel.com/websites and www.kletsel.com/icon-design<br /><br />Mordy, thank you for your tips. I learned more from you. If it interesting I can send you samples of Ai file with a site design project.<br /><br />My name appeared upstairs in Hebrew is Alexey Kletsel.אלכסיי קלצלhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812398890911343836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-88774769347072358442009-05-08T12:32:00.000-04:002009-05-08T12:32:00.000-04:00Thanks! this is great... however.. i don't know wh...Thanks! this is great... however.. i don't know why the final jpg has 1 pixel more than the original slice... it's only 1 pixel but makes me nervous!!!Leitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954602688415180953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-2840027429544162962009-05-07T12:28:00.000-04:002009-05-07T12:28:00.000-04:00samhs - Yes, of course you have that option -- but...samhs - Yes, of course you have that option -- but it's not anywhere near as powerful. Here's why:<br /><br />1. The Export option will save every file using the exact same optimization settings. So if you want some files to be GIF, some to be PNG, and some to be JPG, AND if you want different settings within those formats, that won't be possible. With Save for Web, you can export a combination of file formats with one action.<br /><br />2. The Export option *will* allow you to save a range of pages, but you'd have to memorize the actual artboard numbers you want to export. Via the Save for Web feature, you could select 5 slices visually (just by clicking on them), and choosing to just save All Selected Slices (instead of All User Slices).<br /><br />3. The Export option will take your document file name and append "_01" etc to each file. So you'll have to manually rename each file after it has been exported (again, memorizing which file is what). With Save for Web, the slice name becomes the file name - you set it once and it saves that way forever for each individual slice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795570164435872662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-67695387795769916812009-05-07T11:48:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:48:00.000-04:00Nice post Mordy.

This doesn't work for GIF files, but you can use File > Export and choose either PNG or JPG as the format. The export functionality does support multiple artboards, allowing you to choose to output a single artboard, all artboards or a range. <br /><br />Quite a useful time saver if you are using artboards rather than slices.samhshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587585677506425943noreply@blogger.com
