Photoshop Artboard
In this article, we will practice how to create a Photoshop Artboard. As you have it in Adobe Illustrator, the Photoshop artboard allows you to create individual pages or canvases in a document. This can be useful if you are creating screens for a mobile app or a small brochure.
Creating mobile app assets designed to work on different screen sizes often results in large, multi-layered PSD files and a complicated workflow. The Photoshop Artboard was introduced to streamline mobile image development.

How does Photoshop Artboard work in Photoshop?
The Artboards feature in Photoshop works just like its Adobe Illustrator counterpart in that each Photoshop artboard is treated as a separate layered document. Every Photoshop artboard has its layers, layer groups, text, smart objects, and anything else you can add to a Photoshop document. You can change the order of the layers on each artboard, as well as the order of the artboards themselves in the Layers palette.

Adobe proposes the Skala Preview app, which works with macOS to preview work on iOS and Android devices. PS Mirror is available as a plug-in for Windows computers and as an app for Android and iOS devices for display purposes.
