Looking for the fastest way to slice hard web images - 5/23/2007 5:01:38   
Hi Folks,

Does anybody know of a way to slice web-template images fast?

I've found two programs that do a great job slicing.
One is Image Cut and the other is Image Cutter. However, Image Cutter does not allow slicing with arbitrary layout.
In my opinion, Image Cut is the better choice. Does anyone know of any better ways? Photoshop is not an option since it does slower cutting compared to Image cut.

Here are web-sites of these tools, just in case :

It reassembles all those images into a table layout though - very old fashioned methods.

It's also suggesting keyword stuffing in ALT attributes!

Yuck! :)

Sorry - I don't see why you'd need to use this sort of programme, it seems like the wrong approach completely, very inflexible, very inaccessible - very 1990s.

If an image is informational it should be in the mark-up. If it's non-informational it should be in the stylesheet. I don't see that it takes hours to cut images up for backgrounds anyway.

....and using an image that includes text and all as web template is very inaccessible. Images don't load for whatever reason (or the visitor has images turned off, which 56k users may do to save bandwidth) and all the visitor gets is a blank white page. It's also completely inaccessible to anyone using a screen-reader or to people who need to increase the text size.
