It slices up the images, and makes the HTML for you.

Heh - I find that slicing it up 'manually' works better. Flatten all of your PhotoShop layers and work out what parts need to be images. In some cases you'll need to turn off a couple of layers beforehand to get the background and then put them back. Save the chopped up images, optimize them, 'Save for Web' usually makes them a decent size.

If you need writing over your pictures, then you can set the picture as background of the table, or write the text on the picture in photoshop. If you just need to write in a table, then delete the image that is in that table.

Yeah, slice it like a Ginsu knife!
Do manual slicing, and for some slices it is better to be GIF and some JPEG.
You can save lots of filesize by choosing the right format.
