About Export/Save image Grids/Slices and

Post by csanchez »

I would like to know what ways there are to export/save images divided into grids.
Image
In this example, I made guides by creating a 3x3 grid for 9 images.
The idea is to be able to export those 9 images separately automatically, useful for instagram for example.

In Photoshop from what I've seen there are at least two ways to do this.
1. Working with artboards
2. Export images by splitting them using the guide lines

I would be grateful if you could tell me how this can be achieved with PhotoLine.

---
Separate issue (but related?)
If I'm not mistaken PhotoLine opens Illustrator Artboards as pages of a document and Photoshop Artboards as layer groups, well, that's ok, sinse are a bit different even between photoshop/illustrator.

In Photoshop/Illustrator artboards can be easily created in any direction of the document (top, bottom, left, right)

Ok, while writing this I just understood a little better how the pages inside the documents work, I find it logical.
However, is it not possible to display more than one row of pages simultaneously? Have rows and columns

see example image
A document with 5 pages in triple layout

Holy Molly! THAT is a super-intuitive step placed in a very unintuitive place! Thanks Sensei Shijan! That's what I am going to call you from now. Sensei. Master.

Well, in early days tiled images mostly where used for web pages creation. Also there is an option to create HTML page there. So it is rather intuitive place for this tool.
I only wish it could export to TIFF format in addition to current JPG/GIF/PNG web suppoorted formats (i asked developers earlier about this)
And maybe also to PLD as a single file with tiled images as layers.

From some point of view, it could be logical just add checkbox "Export Tiled from Guides" to normal Export dialog for any image format.

Yes, that's not possible. If it's just about seeing both, you could open a second window for that document with "Window > New Window".

Also consider the newer Export panel functions in PhotoLine. Those are brilliant. You can select all layers, then add a new export target, control the file format and dimensions - and define multiple export targets!

Then click the export button and PhotoLine exports all assets in one go, with different dimensions, file formats, etc.

My only request would be to allow ANY supported export format to be picked (including TIFF, AVIF, BMP, ...)
