The Slice tool is one of the most powerful and versatile tools in Photoshop. It enables users to cut up a large image or piece of artwork into more tiny pieces that fit together.

With the Slice tool, you can select any object or area of an image and “slice” it into a separate image file. This makes it easy to create custom graphics or edit existing images.

To use the Slice tool, first, select it from the Tools palette. Then click and drag on the image to create a rectangular selection. To add more slices, simply click and drag on the image again. To delete a slice, select a slice with the Slice Select Tool and press the Delete key.
