Re: Need help with slice tool in Photoshop
Hi junipaire, This is quite easy to do by using guides and the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool'. Set a vertical guide at 29.7cm using 'View/New Guide'. Set horizontal guides at 21cm and 42cm. Make sure that 'View/Snap To/Guides' and 'View/Snap' are ticked. Select each segment in turn with the 'Rectangular Marquee Tool' and copy this to a new layer (Ctrl-J) Apply your layer styles as required. rufus |

Cheers for that rufus, much appreciated. What setting would you suggest for the layer styles I never know what work best with all the setting to give them all a on a wall look with shadows and 3d look. regards Phil |
