Hey People!

Just a quick question, is there any possible way too just type the position of a ruler in photoshop? So lets say i want a ruler to be on 2 cm, instead of just dropping it there with the info tab i want too type in x = 2cm. Is this possible?

I use Photoshop CS5, thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Nick

@niintek: Do you mean a ruler or a guide? For a guide, choose View > New Guide and type the position.

I don't think it's possible with rulers, at least on CS3 (which is what I'm using).

Cheers,
Matt

Sorry for my the late reaction! But Matt, i think that this works just as good as the way i'm used too in illustrator. As you might now, in illustrator you can select objects and give them both x and y values for positioning.

So is there a way too align objects within photoshop but without using a guide you mentioned above? I know you can open up the info window, but here you cannot specify any values.

Ciao,

Nick

@niintek: You can position a layer precisely by selecting it in the Layers palette, then choosing Edit > Free Transform and entering values in the X and Y boxes in the toolbar at the top.
