Not necessarily. Different parts of the image may lend themselves to different compression techniques and file formats. Separating a part of the image that has more detail or a different colour palette can mean the rest of the image can be compressed much more efficiently. But it is better to separate into layers rather than slices. cheers, Geoff ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
