Using rulers and the grid
Rulers and the grid help you position items (such
as selections, layers, and shapes) precisely across
the width or length of an image.
When visible, rulers appear along the top and left
side of the active window. Markers in the ruler
display the pointer's position when you move it.
Changing the ruler origin (the (0, 0) mark on the
top and left rulers) lets you measure from a specific
point on the image. The ruler origin also deter-
mines the grid's point of origin.
To show or hide rulers:
Do one of the following:
• Click the Ruler button ( ) in the shortcuts bar.
Choose View > Show Rulers or View >
•
Hide Rulers.
To show or hide the grid:
Choose View > Show Grid or View > Hide Grid.
To change the rulers' zero origin:
Position the pointer over the intersection of the
rulers in the upper left corner of the window, and
drag diagonally down onto the image. A set of
cross hairs appears, marking the new origin on
the rulers. The new zero origin will be set where
you release the mouse.
Note: To reset the ruler origin to its default value,
double-click the upper left corner of the rulers.
