When you're getting ready to slice your images, it usually helps to set up your guidelines then slice them. You may also notice that after you’ve made a slice, you’ll see little “almost guidelines” that show where the edges of the off screen slices are.
Always take color samples of the colors that you’ll be using from your saved image because after compression, the colors may not be the same as those used in the actual Photoshop document. When you edit your HTML in your HTML editor, it’s usually easier to create a totally new document and make a table with the images you’ve save than it is to edit the one that is produced by Photoshop.
