The sprite editor won't let me slice
Hello! i imported a sprite sheet that i made using Photoshop CS6 and the unity sprite editor won't let me slice. the slice button is there, but it is semi transparent and won't let me click on it. I tried importing the image as both a .jpg and a .png. Can anyone tell me if there is anything else I need to do. Sorry if this is obvious but I am a beginner. Thank You!
Open unity, in Project viewport (this is where assets of your project are displayed) find your picture,click on it, then in inspector set Texture Type to Sprite (2D and UI), and then below appears Sprite mode property, which you should set as $$anonymous$$ultiple. Have a nice day and watch some tutorials! :)

I have just started using unity myself. I was wondering the same thing but I believe I found the solution! What you need to do is select the sprite you'd like to slice, and in the "Inspector" tab change the "Sprite Mode" to multiple! Hope this helps anyone who stumbles upon this question! :-)

Make Sure your Sprite mode is Multiple and not single.

If that doesn't work try to revert the unity layout to the default one:
Window > Layouts > Revert Factory Settings...
That worked for me.

As mentioned above:
set texture type to: Sprite(2D and UI);
sprite mode to: Multiple;
for me the problem was that my image had tiny 1pixel thick frame, everything was transparent inside the frame and around the separate images but that small frame was preventing Unity from doing its job. So make sure youre image is transparent (white and gray checker as a background), and that there is no frame/border.

Make sure your set to sprite mode and not Texture mode. Then select the multiple dropdown and apply.
