Yes, "slicing" is cutting an image into smaller pieces; usually with the intent of putting the pieces back together in a table within a Web page layout.

Besides optimization, images are broken up to facilitate applying Javascript to them - such as for image replacement on mouseOvers, or simple animation.

I did a "Search" on 'gif animation'.
The first page i got had these links on it. I suggest you do the same and weed out the links to suit your specific needs. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

This 1st one is at "About.com". They have a stupid popup window ad. So if you have "Popup Stopper", turn it on before going there if ya don't like popup window ads. (like me)

This is just someone's private tutorial. It's very detailed.
