Using GIMP to slice an image (in 45 seconds).
open gimp
create a background
(file-new-200x200-ok)
Create a sliceable backdrop
This part is subject to your creativity...
Ok now...
In this example we will slice the graphic into 3 horizontal stripes so we can use them for a menu. The same principles can be applied to slice the graphic into vertical stripes or even into a tic-tac-toe pattern for making table-based web pages.
Image-guides-new guide
You should see two dividing lines in the image...
Now to split it...
Image - transform - guillotine
3 files are created, you can save them under whatever names you like. Now you can use them to make borders to spice up your menus and web pages!
