To use Slicy, first use Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) to name
(i.e. "tag") the layers in your PSD file so that each name reflects
the name and type of file that you want Slicy to convert each layer
into. For example, suppose you have three layers and you rename them
as Name1.jpg, Name2.png, and Name3.tiff, then this "tags" the PSD
file. Save the "tagged" PSD file. Now when you drag the tagged PSD
file on to Slicy, it will create a JPG file, a PNG file and a TIFF
file called Name1.jpg, Name2.png, and Name3.tiff, respectively.
Examples illustrating how to use Slicy used to be available on the
[Slicy help page][2], but no longer.
As distributed, Slicy requires Internet validation of a serial number.
So cracks are needed to unlock full versions.
DL #1: v. 1.1.3, dated 2012
DL #2: Cracked version 1.1.3
DL #3: v. 1.1.4, dated 2013
DL #4: Cracked version 1.1.4
DL #5: v. 1.1.6, dated 2013
DL #6: Cracked version 1.1.6
DL #7: v. 1.1.7, dated 2014
DL #8: Cracked version 1.1.7
Version 1.1.8, dated 2016, can be [downloaded][3] via the Wayback
Machine. It will be uploaded here, along with a cracked copy, in 2026.
The cracks were made using the same methods that were used to crack
[Espresso 2.x][4]. I also found a crack by Special K but that did not
work on some relevant OS X versions (and is more complicated than the
cracks here), and so is not uploaded.
Compatibility
Architecture: x86 (Intel:Mac)
Intel 64 bit
Mac OS X 10.7.3 at least. Tested to work in Lion and High Sierra.
