How to save slices in Photoshop CC (up to date version)

I must be missing something somewhere; I can slice an image but can not find a way to save the slices as individual jpgs.  Can anyone tell me how to do this in an up to date version of Photoshop CC?

      Clivewa, I'm glad to have been helpful in some way. Yes now it's a very complex process but you should consider the "export as..." as the main way to export pieces of images for the web who is now based on layers instead of slices.

      The "slicing" is nowadays a useless waste of time, this is why I suggest you take a look at "export as..." who combined with the right use of layers it's a big timesaver

      Cheers

      Slicing is a lot simpler than layers for making HTML emails where we still have to use tables for early email clients.

        Many thanks; I had tried something like this before but did not get a result at the time.  However, there is a problem; the master file type is jpg and I have selected jpg as the output file type but the sliced images are gif.  I've tried several times to change this but the sliced files are always gif.  Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

        you can change the filetype of every single slice. Please be sure to choose the right file extension for every single slice as showed in the pic. Hope this helps.

        Italosan; Many thanks for your information, I did eventually succeed with your guidance.  However, I found it a relatively convoluted procedure.  I don't know what Adobe are about here; what I wanted to do is readily available in a very straightforward manner in CS4 (which I still have) using the "Save for Web and Devices" function.  This is far simpler to use than the methods available in CC.  However, without your help I would have just given up before finding this out, so once again thank you.

          How do you export ONLY the selected slices? Didn't there use to be a All, Current, Selected, None... type option for exporting slices. I have an image with two slices in it, but it exports all the auto-slices too...

            I am on Photoshop CC and for me it is when I get to the Save As screen where I navigate to the folder to save in. At the very bottom of that dialogue box is an option called "slices". The options are all slices, all user slices, or selected slices.
