Photoshop Image maps (comments)

Displaying 1 - 20 of 36 comments

When I open the HTML file in Text Edit all I see is an image, no code.... When I take the Photoshop native file and use Save for Web and Devices I can't save the banner as a whole -- I am only getting small slices. I need a .jpg to use in my Wordpress blog header. I am doing this to have the 4 social media icons on my WP Header.

Hi -- your headline is a little deceiving because you're NOT actually creating image maps, you're creating image slices. In other words, each link is a tiny image and all the images are tossed into an HTML table (hence the comment above about everything looking like a jigsaw puzzle).

Adobe Fireworks will do proper image maps, in other words it will keep your image intact but allow you to create several links within the image -- without your image ever getting sliced up into tiny parts.

It still requires copying the HTML, however, since the HTML contains the definitions for the image map.

I just want to create a link in my image, send it by mail but do not show as an attachment but in the message box, so people just click on a part of it and go to my page.

I did everything you said but when it appeared on my myspace it was horrible looking. Like a puzzle kind of. Why is that?

When I go to the folder in wich I saved it in, I see no HTML file?

same problem. well, i know how to do it. but when i do the thing with notepad, it comes up in like this font that wont change. i can't read any of it. i've tried changing it, but it just stays the same. :|

its really easy! I so love this - you explained it so well.

Where you saved the file, there will be an html file, open that, right click - view source - copy the table into your html editor.

You don't just insert the picture, the slice tool breaks your image apart and insert it into your web page as a table.

Thank you so much! this has made my day! I am TRYING to teach myself html, css AND photoshop, all together, in 1 week.

Thanks, Again.
