I'm sure that you are already
familiar with the fact that save for web is the best way to
export your page for the web from Photoshop. But few people
realize the power of this little tool. Did you know you can set
links and even add text to your web pages in save for web?
Begin with your sliced image.
Edit>save for web
The save for web window will open.
Choose the slice select tool and click on a
slice. On the right you can adjust the image quality and select
a format. I used jpeg.
Double click a slice with the select tool still
active and you will see the slice options dialog box pop up.
You can enter a url to link the slice to and
even a target if you want to open a frame.
Enter text into the alt box, this will show when
the image is being loaded.
Choose a clice that you would like to replace
with text.
Choose the "no image" option and this slice will
now become a blank cell.
Click on text is html and type into the window.
This will be added as HTML text in the cell on your webpage just
as if you had created it in Dreamweaver or Golive.
You can also change the alignment of the text by
centering it in the Cell alignment boxes.
Under background click the box and choose
custom.
The color picked will pop up and you can select
a color. You can check the "Only Web Color" box to restrict the
picker to the 216 web safe colors if you want. Click ok to
apply.
Press the preview in browser button at the
bottom of the window.
And here's your image in the web browser
complete with the text.
