Photoshop: Ability to specify slicing to individual Artboards

Guest
Jun 07, 2016 Jun 07, 2016
Scenario is a canvas with 3 different artboards on it.  Each artboard is a separate email consisting of 2 sections (each of which would have to be sliced).  

It would be great to have the ability to slice specific artboards independent of one another. The current model applies a slice (#1)  that seems to border the artwork bounds of the entire document.  So currently all 3 boards are enveloped including any outlying artwork bounds.  I suppose my idea is two-fold and address 2 issues I have with artboards.  I'd like to select an artboard and have the Save For Web functionality only applied to the selected board and I'd like to apply my slices on the specific artboard without having it slice everything on the canvas in relation to that original slice.  I imagine a solution would almost be like a master slice that can have secondary slices within it. I hope I was able to explain myself clearly enough.

Save for Web (CS 6) and Save for Web (Legacy) in CC versions predate Artboards, so they don't play nice together. Artboards are just a special type of group/folder to isolate sections of the canvas and Photoshop still only has one canvas (which adjusts in size to accommodate artboards of various sizes).

 

Slicing would likely be something that would have to be added to Export As, which is long overdue for feature parity.

 

That being said, I am told by those who are into modern web development that slices are "old school" and discouraged in modern responsive web design.

If you turn on the view of only one artboard at a time, then it is isolated in Save for Web and only that visible artboard is exported, not the whole canvas and all artboards combined.

 

Here I setup a Layer Based Slice on one artboard before going into Save for Web:

Hope this helps!
