How to Slice an Image With Gimp
If you need to work with a graphics image of design that someone else has given you, it helps if the major elements of the image are on separate layers. This will make it easier for you to make changes to one element without having any impact on another. If the elements in the image you get are not on separate layers, you use the tools of a graphics program, like the freeware application GIMP.
