Hello,

As for my attached image I sliced the upper green rectangle into equal slices.

I want to extract each slice into reqtangle so I could move each of them freely (split them & Treat them like a shape) each one with different color. for example 1 orange other green etc..

There is a script to create layers from slices.

Hi!

What is your final output--are you taking these rectables to the web? That is what the slide tool is used for. What do you want to do with the rectangles once you finally create them?

No I'm not aiming to export them to the web. I want to slice the rectangles & split cut them each one independently.

Depending on what your final objective is--you can create one rectangle on a layer and duplicate the layer as many times as you want and then you will have the number of rectangles you need, all exactly the same size and can color them separatly. Then you will also be able to move the rectangles into place and have them act independantly from each other. Are you familiar with Layers?

Slices are for web design. They are used to cut a larger image up into smaller pieces to make a web page flow smoother and quicker (at least that's what we used to do!) and for ineractivity. I think Layers will accomplish what you want much easier and faster.
