Photoshop: Add 9-Slice Scaling
Add 9-Slice Scaling to Photoshop CS6. This would be hugely beneficial, especially with the advancements made with the shape tools.

If smart objects had the ability to specify 9-Slice scaling guides, it would be a dramatic improvement for our workflow.

Now that Fireworks is discontinued, this feature needs to be added to Photoshop soon.

P.S.If you add this feature to Photoshop, please allow the 9-slice scale tool to have unique grid settings that can be remembered or saved for any particular layer or group.

Seeing the progress in the html field for Ps CC, i can understand this one to be "later" in the process. But may be now is the time.

Prepping files would be so much easier and with the linked smartobjects this would improve workflow more than anything.

Allow photoshop 9slice with export of all the slices in an easy way. I think with addition of generator its amazing how fast workflow is. The one thing that would make it faster is allowing for 9slicing and exporting of 9slice with generator.

It would be wonderful for UI Design to have 9 patch on smart objects, similar to the implementation found in Illustrator.
This would allow me to create a UI Kit for iOS and Mac OS where buttons, fields, windows, etc all can be resized and retain their shapes.
In these screenshots you can see some examples where some of those elements could be 9 sliced and could be reused.
Compound that with Smart Object states and you could have 1 smart object for all your buttons no matter what size they are.
Same for windows:
How could it be implemented simply?
On a very basic level you could implement this by leveraging Guides to serve as 9 patch. If the user has 2* or 4 guides inside their smart object
then a new option could appear in the Properties menu.
*2 guides would serve as a 3 patch, for objects that can only be scaled vertically or horizontally but not both.
