Hello! In regards to the slicing tool/functionality, I had some feedback that I’m hoping can be taken back to look at possible revision. Here are the thoughts I had:
Â
• When it comes to the actual slicing, while it can snap to shapes, it doesn't naturally snap to the edge of the frame to prevent it from going over.Â
• For the exporting of slices, the file-size of the exports is much higher than the equivalent export from Photoshop. For example, if I were to slice an email for the purpose of handing off to the devs in both Figma and PS, the Figma exports are 2-3X the size of the PS exports. This is an issue for our devs as they require the total file-size of the slices combined for the asset to be 1MB or smaller.
• In PS, we have the capability to change the quality of the exports by % vs predetermined presets (i.e. high, medium, low), which grants more flexibility in file-size. To be able to alter to that detail would be of benefit in Figma.
Â
Hopefully I’m making sense in the above feedback, but happy to clarify more to the Figma team if necessary. Ideally, I would love to eliminate the need to use PS for slicing and instead rely on Figma, both in the sense of having to change programs but also to eliminate the need for further file storage.Â
