Andy, To be honest, I have not used Photoshop / Image ready in three years, so I am unfamiliar with some of the upgrades that were possibly made. If you have a few minutes, I was hoping you could read my rant and maybe let me in on the inaccuracies or archaic thoughts that I have:

Not to shoot Ben down, but you do NOT want to switch to Fireworks. Photoshop is far more powerful, flexible, offers more options and it's just plain better than Fireworks. I was forced to use Fireworks for about 6 months at my first web job and it was horrible. I cheered loudly when Adobe came out with Image Ready 2.0, kicked Fireworks' dust from my feet and never looked back. The only thing that FW has going for it IMO is the price. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Also, I can't more highly recommend moving to Adobe FireWorks. It is designed FOR WEB DEVELOPERS. Photoshop is an amazing photo editing software. Yes, photo editing does overlap with web development, but it's not designed for web development. Fireworks IS. It makes slicing easier than eating ice cream. Plus, there is a Guru forum now that has some great tutorials. http://www.fireworksguruforum.com/ I switch over 3 years ago and have not looked back.. And my productivity and proficiency in graphics editing is up like 1000% percent from where it was in Photoshop. ........................

Crow... I started my career as a designer so I'm thoroughly familiar with slicing. My suggestion is to NOT use slices from within PS of FW or IR. It may seem like it makes things simpler, but it really doesn't. My suggestion is to make extensive use of guides, then manually select each area you want to slice. This way you ONLY get the areas you need as images and you can name each image whatever you like. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

I have a client who wants me to slice up their design, because they don't have anyone available to do it. Google searches bring up tons of results, but I was wondering if anyone had one that they liked better than others.
