You select a slice or multiple slices with the Slice Select tool. You can then modify the selected slices.
In ImageReady, you can save, load, and delete slice selections. Using slice selections lets you reselect specific slices quickly and accurately.

and click the slice in the image.When working with overlapping slices, click the visible section of an underlying slice to select it. - (Photoshop) Choose File > Save For Web. In the dialog box, use the Slice tool to select a slice.

With the Slice Select tool , do one of the following:
To select all the user slices in a document (ImageReady):

To save a slice selection (ImageReady):
- Select one or more slices.
- Choose Slices > Save Slice Selection.
- Enter a name in the Selection Name text box, and click OK.
To load a slice selection (ImageReady):

Note: You must save a slice selection before you can load it.
