Using the Snap command
Snapping helps with precise placement of selection edges, cropping marquees, slices,
shapes, and paths. You can enable or disable snapping using the Snap command. You can
also specify different elements to which you want to snap when snapping is enabled.
To enable or disable snapping:
Choose View > Snap. A check mark indicates that snapping is enabled.
To specify what to snap to:
Choose View > Snap To, and choose one or more options from the submenu:

•

(Photoshop) Document Bounds to snap to the edges of the document.
•
All to select all Snap To options.
•
None to deselect all Snap To options.
•
A check mark indicates that the option is selected and snapping is enabled. A dot

disabled.
To enable snapping for one Snap To option:
