Follow the steps below to create the illusion of “two” different images by only using one. hover over the example below:
1. open an image in photoshop.
- in this example we’ll be using an image with the dimensions:
90×76 — 90px (width) and 76px (height):
2. double click the background layer and click “OK” on the popup box.
3. now push Alt+Ctrl+C on the keyboard.
- make sure the size is in pixels and not inches or percent.
- make note of the dimensions (important, needed later!)
- now double the width and click the middle left arrow (see below)
4. duplicate the layer.
- do this by click on the menu bar: Layer >> Duplicate Layer
5. make sure the duplicated layer is highlighted:
6. press Ctrl+A (to select all)
7. press V (to select the move tool)
8. right below the menu bar there’s an align menu. click the one shown below.
you now should have something that looks like this:
9. press Ctrl+D to deselect everything.
10. edit the image on the right however you want and SAVE!
- i just added a green tint for example.
11. host the image somewhere..
12. now add a blank link somewhere on your page by adding this:
<a href="http://myspace.com/joyboner" class="img01"> </a>
- i gave it a class name “img01″, you can name it whatever you want..
- just make sure it matches the codes in step 13!
13. Add this code within your style tags:
a.img01 {
display:block;
background-position:top left;
height:76px;
width:90px;
background-image:url(http://url_to_image_in_step_11.gif);
}
a.img01:hover {background-position: top right;}
- the height and width are the same as the original picture in step 1.
Very Helpful and easy. Nice one.
I love green!

I’m using a similar way to get the rollover effect but my main problem is getting images to be placed side by side in a DIV. Instead of filling the DIV by going side by side (I add no extra breaks or anything) they stack vertically and mess everything up. :( Any easy fix?
I’m having the same problem with the vertical stack…
Looks like you have to chage the coding from display:block to display:inline
Try This Code It Works Well On Both IE And Firefox
—————————————————————–
a.rollover:link, a.rollover:active,a.rollover:visited{
background-image:url(’NORMAL IMAGE URL’);
display:block !important;
height:202px;
width:150px;
}
a.rollover:hover{
background-image:url(’HOVER IMAGE URL’);
display:block;
}
——————————————————————–
(YOU CAN USE THIS IN NORMAL OR DIV VERSION)
