: Is there a way to remove artboards in photoshop? Does anyone know if there's a way to remove artboards in photoshop and just work with a file the good ol' fashioned way?

@Bryan765

Actually, what You can do is to File->Export->Artboards to files... and save as PSD. Works fine.

Select the artboard in the layers menu. Click the drop-downmenu in the upper right corner and select "delete artboard". It will give you the option to delete the artboard and contents or the artboard only.

I'm using CC and when I open up the dialog box to make a new document, there's a check box beside the 'orientation' that says "artboards". I just unchecked it and it did the trick.

When creating a new document, change the "document type". It could be in artboard mode, or use them somehow in custom mode also. Switching to default should fix it.

This answer is an addition to @petits answer.

Before ungrouping the artboards, create a new empty layer and fill it with a color using the paint bucket tool. Ungroup the artboards as described in petits answer.

After ungrouping the artboards, ctrl+click the new layer you created to select it. The selection outline should be the same dimensions as the original artboard. Next press c to select the crop tool which should create a crop box with the dimensions of the selected area. Press enter and the canvas will be cropped to the selected dimentions. This way you won't have to resize the canvas.

I've found the answer! hurrah.

cmd+click on the artboard in the "layers" panel and select "ungroup artboards".

It's a pain in the butt, because it completely resizes your canvas so you need to reset that. But it does remove the artboard from your file without the need to create a new one.

If anyone has a better way of doing this I'd still be grateful to hear!
