layers-slices - A slicing tool based on layers instead of guidelines

This script is meant to cut an image is smaller pieces and save these images automatically based on the size and names of specific layers, images to be used in web layouts.

Other options I found are based on guidelines. This approach has 2 drawbacks for me :

Image used for web layout are not always a pure table. The image you needfor the banner has not the same width than the one you need for the side block, and there are "cells" of that table that you don't need
It's saved with an autogenerated name

If I'm wrong with this analysis, tell me... this script is perhaps a bad duplicate of some existing plugin I don't know about...

The idea here is to create a layer for each slice you need. This layer has 2 important characteristics :

It's name - which must be "SLICE-xxx" (case insensitive), where xxx is the name of the image file to create, including the extension (.jpg or .png supported)
It's size - no matter what is on the layer,oly it's size matter

For each of these "SLICE-*" layer, the image will be flatten (without the "SLICE-*" layers themselves), cropped to the layer's size and saved in the directory specified in the requested parameters. For .jpg images, the compression quality is requested in the parameters.

This script is my first scheme script, and has to be considered beta quality at most...

Save for Web allows to find compromise between minimal file size and acceptable quality of image quickly. While adjusting various settings, you may explore how image quality and file size change. Options to reduce file size of an image include setting compression quality, number or colors, resizing, cropping, Exif information removal, etc.
