Slice, Dice, Chop and Peel. (Creating a Sliced Image).
It has been some time since I covered Xara's ability to slice and export an image, such as one that might be used in a button bar. And many of us may have forgotten about the Name Gallery and how important a tool this can be.
We'll create a high tech control panel image which we will then export in slices. It's all very exciting and I can hardly wait to get into the tutorial. But first a word from our sponsor. (The company that makes these tutorials possible in case you were wondering).
You can't beat this?
For a mere $11.95 per month, you can access all the Xara Modules web graphics, photo and text effects including the Cross Fade module used to animate the image above. For $119 per year you get a free copy of Webstyle 3. (Christmas 2004 is not that far off. Buy someone a gift—Webstyle 3—and give yourself a terrific package of web effects!)
Xara Modules creates a line of script which goes into your HTML page, and which plays the JavaScripted action when your visitor visits your web page. I think you can probably think of at least a dozen creative uses for this and some of the other 8 cool effects.
All modules come with a free 15-day trial period. If you don't like the effect, you don't pay for it (of course you can't use it after 15 days if you don't pay for it). And, I need not remind you who makes these free tutorials free. Eh? (HINT is rhymes with Clara!) and just happens to be the company that makes the best vector graphics software.
So do me and yourself a favor and pay a visit to the Xara Modules site. There is some really cool and fun effects that will add spice to your web site.
