The slice tools.

The slice tools

The slice tool is used to divide images into rectangular sections which are saved into separate files. Slices are in general because they allow Web pages to load more quickly, and so that the individual slices can have different optimization settings, or be used as links. A small portion of a large image will load quickly when divided up, and can be viewed while the rest of the image slices are being downloaded to complete the picture. This gives the user the impression that they don't have to wait too long for the entire page to download.

Once you have divided up your image into slices, you can select slices using the select slice tool, and specify properties of that slice..such as which URL the web browser will go to when that particular slice is clicked on.
