New here! I'm having an issue with the current project I'm working on. I have to import a .pdf of an advertisment book, and slice and save each ad separately as a .jpg. I can not figure out for the life of me how to save them as individuals, and not the entire page, after I'm done slicing. Please help :)
 
Using one of the selection tools define a selection around the first add and then hit copy. Now open a new project using the settings that PS wants to use (this will make the new project the same size and res as the copied add) and paste the copied add into the project. Now save this new project. Return to your original document and repeat the process for the rest of the adds. At the end you will have accomplished your goal.

I hope this helps.
 
Thank you so much! I'll give it a whirl tonight as soon as I get home. I was pulling my hair out last night. I've never had to use them before and this project requires me to edit hundreds of pages using slices.
 
Quicker option would be to use the mmmm slice tool.

drag a section around where you want the images cropped you can do them all at the same time then go to save for web and just select images only and the format. you will get a folder labelled images with all your cropped images in. If you do save images and html you will also get an index html page and basically all your images sliced open up the index.html or whatever you named it and voila your artwork has just become a basic website in seconds.
 
I have never done any work for the web and am completely unfamiliar with the slice tool (does it have any use besides web work?). I took a quick look at the linked to Adobe Help page and it seems that the slice tool will allow you to save to html format. I see no mention of any other format on the site and the OP said that it was nec to save to jpg. Does this mean that the slice tool is not the right tool for the job or can you save to jpg using the slice tool?

I hope I have not messed up the lesson the OP poster was supposed to learn from this assignment but I fear I may have done so.
 
@bgoodman - The results of the slice tool are almost always saved using file / Save for Web & Devices menu. In addition to all the "save as html" optons, there are many, many other options under this including saving the individual slices as jpgs, pngs, gifs, or even a mix of different file types for different slices.

Understood and thanks for the info. I am not sure it will ever play a part in my work flow but you never know.
