Note:
These tutorials assume a basic working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. If you are unsure how to configure the program to
perform any of the steps described below, please refer to the Help files and manuals included with the program.
Before you begin image slicing with Paint Shop Pro, you will need to create your image. For this example,
our image contains four layers. The first layer is the background (or full image) that you wish to slice; the second
layer is what you want your off state to be; the next layer should be the over state while the last layer should be
your text layer. The over and off layers can be swapped at your discretion. You may also notice in some of the
sample images, that it is not a requirement for the buttons and text to be in the same layer or file. For the images
that are contained in different files, their necessary components have already been merged into a single image for
your convenience. However, the first and last layers should always be in that order. Once you have created such an
image (or selected one of the samples below) you can begin the slicing process.
