Question

[Slice tool] How to select all slices in one shot

Hello everyone.

Apparently that possibility is no longer available after a specific version of Photoshop CC 2015 and I'm wondering if there is another way to get the same result without too much work and stress.

Let's assume that we have a cube 6x6 that I want to slice in single pictures, for some reason the lines on the pictures are not in the same position as the ones created by Photoshop so I will need to move them.

In Photoshop CC 2015 after you do right click, slice selection, put your preference and click ok, all the slices are already selected and if you move one of the lines created by Photoshop you will move for the entire slice selection (example in attachment)

Something similar can be obtained in the new version of Photoshop if you use the Slice Tool Selection, hold Shift and click in each slice (which is taking a lot of time).

Anyone have an idea how to solve/bypass this problem?

Thank you

Hey @1695762, I think the silence is due to no such feature existing. 😕😕 As you may be aware, Adobe has been trying to deprecate this tool set for years but their attempts at replacement never quite get to the same level of functionality. Thus, it remains. Pretty similar to the Lightroom situation.

 

However, I did just discover one partially-helpful fallback:

  1. Take note of your PSD dimensions
  2. Select the Crop tool and make sure the 'delete pixel data' toggle is turned OFF.
  3. Crop your canvas so that all of the offending Slices are removed.
  4. Rezize your Canvas back to its original dimensions.

 

After doing this, the Slices that were outside the revised boundaries will be gone and everything else will remain. This saved me at least a few minutes of tedious Shift-clicking. Good luck!

        Hello, thank you for your response. Unfortunately from what I understood, you just provided me a solution that I already wrote about in my post: "Something similar can be obtained in the new version of Photoshop if you use the Slice Tool Selection, hold Shift and click in each slice (which is taking a lot of time).".

        What I would like to know is if I can make this process faster or bypass it, because with a lot of slices it takes a lot of time to select all of them.

        Thank you!
