P: Add 9-Slice Scaling [CS6] [2012]

Add 9-Slice Scaling to Photoshop CS6. This would be hugely beneficial, especially with the advancements made with the shape tools.

Agreed! This is sorely missed. Being able to create a library of 9 sliced smartobjects would be amazing! My number 1 feature request.

Prepping files would be so much easier and with the linked smartobjects this would improve workflow more than anything.

I (sort of) linked this to the Generator Assets github : https://github.com/adobe-photoshop/ge...
Seeing the progress in the html field for Ps CC, i can understand this one to be "later" in the process. But may be now is the time.

Considering how much 9-slice grids are is used in IOS, Android and game UI (and considering how much PS is used now for UI mockup creation), Photoshop should definitely have this feature! Fireworks already has a 9-slice scaling tool, so shouldn't Photoshop too?

P.S.If you add this feature to Photoshop, please allow the 9-slice scale tool to have unique grid settings that can be remembered or saved for any particular layer or group.

I used to use Fireworks to link to and composite iOS mockups. 9-Slice scaling was great because I could simply place the image and scale it within Fireworks to mockup how the image was to be resized.

Now that Fireworks is discontinued, this feature needs to be added to Photoshop soon.

Add me to the list! I was also researching how to do this and it surprises me that it's not implemented yet!

I'd pay $2000 extra dollars for shared objects to have 9-slice and for a shared object library to be added to photoshop.

I found this thread while trying to find out if 9-slice scaling had been incorporated into smart objects in CS6. It would be extremely helpful to have this capability. I love it in Flash and Illustrator symbols; please extend smart objects to include 9-slice scaling as an option.
