macguffin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi, I've figured out how to make a custom export and I can use the 'copy' and 'paste' buttons in the slices panel to apply this to a new slice. What I'm wondering, is there a way to make my settings the default for new slices I create within my document? I seem to have to 'create slice' then copy my settings onto this slice. I'd like my settings to be applied automatically when I click on 'Create Slice'. My custom export is simply a reduction of size by 50% which is not a built-in option. Thanks.

A_B_C Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Wouldn’t a custom export preset work for you instead of copying your settings to each new slice? You would be able to select this preset at the bottom of the built-in presets list … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 In addition, you could also change the defaults in the Export Options panel, though this is perhaps a little less flexible overall … personally, I prefer to use adding custom presets … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macguffin Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks for the reply. So yes I can set the Export preset to mine and that stops me having to copy and paste, thanks for that. It does seem that each time I create a new slice the 'export preset' reverts to Single PNG-24 is there a way to keep this as my custom export?

A_B_C Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well, as I added, you can also create a new default. The new default setting will apply to all new slices. However, if you should need different export settings at some point in your work, I believe you would be better off with custom presets. As far as I can see, there is no way to make the app remember the latest preset that has been selected … :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macguffin Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks again. Think I'm doing all I can now. Shame you can't set a custom export in the defaults drop down. Your tips have helped, though. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
