Hello,

 

I have 3 artboards in one photoshop document that I need to export as one image (with artboard titles on). Not seperate files. Illustrator has an option to do this but Photoshop doesn't?!  I've searched round the web and can't find the solution anywhere. Please help!

 

Thanks

Using Save As/Save As a Copy and or Export/Save for Web (Legacy) will include all artboards in a single image. You may or may not like the default layout.

 

Artboard names would need to be scripted, as would using a different layout.

 

What font and font size and position would the artboard name use? Please post an example.

Thanks but I don't have those options

 

Save as just resaves the PSD

Export / Save for Web just splits all the artboards up as seperate files with no option to save the whole artboard

There must be a way to do it somehow

As Save As/Save As a Copy to PSD retains layers/groups/artboards, one obviously has to save to a file format that doesn't support layers for the artboards to be saved as a single file.

 

The artboards in the PSD:

 

 

Save As a Copy to JPG:

 

 

Same for Export > Save for Web (Legacy)... This is why one has to use a script to export artboards to (separate) files, as the standard save and legacy export methods include all artboards

The "new" Export As supports artboards as separate files by default, perhaps you are confusing Export As vs. Export/Save for Web (Legacy).

 

Anyway, to include the artboard name as a text object you will need a script. To script this, one would need to know the desired layout of the artboards in a single file and the text size, font, position etc.
