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 ;) -- Bernhard S.
