Tim Gummer Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 i've been doing more exporting images to web of late, which has seen me hopping between personas a lot more. And stewing. A lot. My reference point vis a vis slices management is FIreworks, which for all of it's many flaws, does several things reasonably well: display and editing of slices, guides and graphic elements simultaneously Export of 8 Bit PNG images with alpha transparency With AD, if I'm trying to optimise elements for better pixel level precision, or even just ensure that multiple elements are fitting multiple slices of a consistant size, there is no way to see or edit those things in one view. So I have to jump back to draw persona, nudge things a bit, maybe pull down a ruler and hope it matches slice borders, go back to export persona to view slices and see if my guesses were close, then repeat, ad infininitum. Clearly what is needed is to allow editing of elements in export persona. Oh, and 8 bit alpha PNG exports.

RussellBWilson Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Same problem for me, but I was thinking maybe just being able to "Show Slices" via the View menu while in the Draw or Pixel Personas ? This way, you could see where the slices are and draw inside them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarpo Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Any news on this? I have this exact same problem, for game development it's almost imprescindible. Just brought Affinity Designer to support development, can't wait to drop PS :D but I can't until this is implemented, it's too much hassle.

adpov Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Any updates? I am really missing "View > Show slices" it is almost impossible to draw in "draw persona" and guess where are the slices. IsabelAracama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwessel Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Any updates? I am really missing "View > Show slices" it is almost impossible to draw in "draw persona" and guess where are the slices. +1. I'm struggling with this too. Having to constantly flick between personas to check the relationship between illustrations and slice boundaries is a painful workflow. Really easy for someone to make a mistake too.

voidsea Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 As a fireworks user, +1 to this. There are lots of UX improvement needed to be done. And lots of time it can save for us. IsabelAracama 1 Quote The Boss is watching you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
