Export several Dimensions

[MaGie]

Hello,

I´m not clear with the Export dialog. I like to export an Image or Slice in several Dimensions. For example the initial Slice has a 64px X 64px dimension and I like also 32px X 32px and also 16px X 16px.

Where can I set this otions and save it as Set  to select them later again? I the attached dialog I can see the Variables and can drop them above in the path component, but how can I set the needed dimensions and Label? Is there a special dialog where I could set all of this and delete dimensions which are not longer needed?

Thanks for any hint

Hi @MaGie,

I suggest you start here:

• Exporting - YouTube / Vimeo
• Exporting
• Export Compression Efficiency

The second link covers the basics of slicing an image. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hi GabrielM,

I had already watched those Vidoes (some 4 times), but there are never shown how I could set a specific export dimension and label it for later use. I know it is possible, but how?

Cheers

You can save any slices you make just by saving the document. But you cannot create any presets to use on other documents.

that's clear and if a preset not saved global, no problem. But how can I export 3 different sizes (dimensions) of a layer or image?

For example I need from the original dimension 64 x 64, also 48 x 48 and 16 x 16 pixel as well. I understand how I can export different file type inone batch but how different dimensions of the same file type?

Check the image below:

You can type in your dimensions for a slice

32w, 32h

w stands for width, h for height. You can use the + to add more "variations" of the same slice, with different sizes or namings.

If you click here it adds a new slice

Click here to change the size

 

Edit, Damn, beaten by Gabe.

mhhh may I´m blind :-(

the default entries like 1x 2x 3x etc. in the first dropdown means  2 ore 3 time bigger than the original size?

But wahts about the dialog of the pathname? How must I define the size which I want? Works "w" and "h" also in german version or do I need "b" and "h"?

Who must I note the dimension in this dialog?

[Gabe]

You do not specify that in the path. You do it in the dropdown. See below.

In German, it's still w for width and h for height. 

[MaGie]

ok, thank you! Now it´s clear. Thought that all parameter must be set in the dialog of the Pathname window :-D

Export slice resolution:
1x -As set in the document.
2x -Double the document resolution.
3x -Three times the document resolution.
100w -100 pixels wide. Height in proportion to original slice ratio.
50h -50 pixels high. Width in proportion to original slice ratio.
64p -64 Sets the longest edge to 64 pixels.
64p, 2x -Sets the longest edge to 128 pixels.
32w, 32h -Creates an image, 32 pixels wide by 32 pixels high. Stretches the image to fit those dimensions.

Edit. Changed 32w, 32h to indicate it stretches, instead of crops. Thanks Gabe.

THANKS toltec!

In fact, specifying w and h does not  crop the image. It will stretch-to-fit the w and h specified.

Oh, when I tried all of them a while back it seemed to crop them.

One of those "Specsavers" moments. 

I have amended my post to save any confusion.
