Ok i already know how to cut but when i cut i do s sloppy job for example the text on the site is cut into a image.

How can i use imageready to make the text real text instead of a image.

Well, you would cut the text out of the image and then use html to position your copy onto the website.

I generally turn off text layers and other elements that will be added in via the html, and then slice. You can set various slices as background images in ImageReady as well, but that means (generally) you intend on using the html that it exports - something most would advise against.


---EDIT---

See the story I just posted in a new thread about a PS/ImageReady developer.

Hmmm - depends - what exactly are you talking about? How do you turn off a layer? How to you slice with precision? How to you export? Everything?

What specifically are you looking for help with?

Walk us through your process and tell us at which point you get stuck.

I need to know how to cut images so when you save optimized the text saves as text.

If I'm understanding you correctly, what you'll want to do is cut the image without the text (turn the text layer off). Then (in an html editor like Dreamweaver, or by code in notepad), insert the image into the html file as a background, and type the text on top of it.

I'm afraid you're asking for a feature that doesn't exist.
Just use the sliced/optimized picture without the text, and then code the text (in HTML/CSS/PHP or whatever) above it. Use the picture as a background.

Ofcourse, you do the coding in Notepad or something similar.
