Hi

The Slice tool is for “slicing” one image into several when exporting for web graphics so that each can be optimized as needed, i.e., one area might be a jpeg, another a gif, and another a png. This is not the tool you are looking for.

As Ray said, try Scissors “C”. Sharing space with it is the Knife and Eraser, which can also be useful.
