You don't use all the images generated by photoshop, you select the relevant ones.
In an entire layout you may only need 5 or 6 images because you know the rest can be done with
css.
But it is a pain to rewrite what photoshop churns out.
My latest design i sliced up into a about two dozen or so slices, only needed about 7 images...
5 hotizontally repeating images and the logo...
It's coded in valid
html strict and
css... didn't take too long either and now i'm just fitting it to a cms and doing the finishing touches.

I will tell you my technique (which may differ from other people) but when in photoshop, I use the crop function, and crop the individual image, and once cropped I then save this as whatever format is needed, and save it into my directory.

That's what the slice tool does, only you save them all in one go.... You don't even have to generate the
html with the images.... but i find it useful for reference as apposed to constantly referring to my layout outside of the browser.
