Hi,

i don't see the slicing tool is it not available in the gimp latest version.

MS> What is the slicing tool?

Already mentioned was: Image > Transform > Guillotine
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/plug-in-guillotine.html

There is also: Filters > Web > Slice
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/python-fu-slice.html

Checkout the gimp registry too.

PS: The links to the GIMP documentation are broken on http://www.gimp.org/docs/ which always. The web page has links like http://docs.gimp.org/en/, but it should be http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/

To follow up, GIMP 2.6.6 for Windows does not include that (not that I expect is should, as it relies on Python); GIMP 2.6.6 included in Ubuntu 9.04 does include it.

Please explain how you came to this conclusion,

(not that I expect is should, as it relies on Python);

especially as this is no reason for something to be missing on Microsoft Windows (Perl-based would be one, for example).

Well, I'd been running 2.6.5 on Windows XP; open an image, add a couple of guides and Filters|Web shows only "Image Map..." (and "Semi-Flatten", but greyed out). So I upgrade (I did not uninstall 2.6.5) to 2.6.6 today (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.6.6-i686-setup.exe via gimp.org links). Same results.

I've never installed Python on this PC. So, am I missing something by looking in the wrong place? Are you saying you'd expect "Slice" to be there in a "standard" installation of GIMP on Windows, even without Python installed, and without installing additional plug-ins?

I'm a web developer, and I never used any slicing tool, although I use GIMP mainly for my website mockups. They way I do is simple: I draw a rectangle selection over the part I need, then I press CTRL+SHIFT+C (copy visible) and then CTRL+SHIFT+V (paste the copied to a new image). Then I save the new image as .png or .jpg.

I do it that way because you don't need so many images in most cases... Also there are often color gradients in websites where you only need a 1px image that is repeated through CSS. I doubt that there is much time to spare using such slicing tools. Maybe you like this way too ;)

The plug-in is part of the standard installation of GIMP on Windows. But only if you installed Python before installing GIMP.
