A question for you wise people:

What is the term for the loading of a large image one segment at a time, and what software would I need or how do I accomplish this splitting of an image?

Thanks for the help.
D-mail.

Splice
Fireworks or Photo Shop will do this.

Basically you can do this manually in almost any program by using a marquee tool and selecting and optimizing individual slices. Then reassembling them with HTML. The hard part is knowing what to select in the image program, try using gridlines or something to help u line things up.

I have to concur with excell. Fireworks is great for slicing images. You don't have to worry about "missing" any part of the image. When you start to slice, the next slice "snaps" to the first one, so you get perfect, flawless slices - every time. it will then easily generate the html for you.

(I feel like a Macromedia salesman...)

Just be careful when you export the slices into HTML. Fireworks tends to put allot of redundant code in there and I suggest you clean it up as well as remove the lame "fireworks slice" meta tags.

Paint Shop Pro 7 can splice images. It does a pretty good job of it too.
