There are several kinds of slices in ImageReady: layer-based, user, auto, table, and subslices.
We will create layer-based slices and later use the Slice tool to make user slices. Auto slices fill
the spaces in between the other types and are created automatically. If there is overlap between
slices, those areas are considered subslices.

NOTE Table slices are an advanced web design topic that you can read more about in the Image-
Ready Help.
Layer-based slices divide image areas using the outer borders of layers. You will create several
layer-based slices now.
