How do I preserve slicing settings / 'slicing grids'?

[Bobo72]

Hi,

I use Photoshop a lot for slicing up images for web pages. However, as I prefer Corel Draw for mocking up / designing the web page images that I later slice up in Photoshop, it can be quite a pain to slice up first 'out' images from one graphic file and the open another graphic file to start all over again in order to get sliced graphics for 'over' states.

The slice sizes and positions that I use from one graphic file (the 'out' state) to the other ('over' state) are identical.

This brings me down to my question: Is there any way in either Photoshop or Imageready to save slice settings - so that you can prepare a 'slicing grid' in one file and then take this grid and use it in another graphic file?

And a bit more simple; how do I save the slicing that I've applied to an image, so that when I open this image the next time, the slices are still there ... ?

Any help much appreciated,
Best regards,
/Bo

Wouldn't it be easier to simply place both images (on seperate layers) in the same sliced PSD? Then when you want to switch back and forth you can simply turn layers on and off.

When you save the PSD the slices will be saved as well.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
