<h1>Guides, Grid and Snapping</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Precise position of image elements can be very important. The basic tool, which can help us
|
||
|
|
align image elements, are <b>rulers</b>. Rulers can be enabled in View - Rulers.
|
||
|
|
But there are several other ways how to align elements precisely.</p>
|
||
|

<h2>Guides</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There can be multiple guides in a PSD document. A guide is a horizontal or a vertical line,
|
||
|
|
which is displayed over the document and can help you align elements. </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To add or delete a guide, select the Move tool and enable rulers. To add a guide, click on the ruler
|
||
|
|
and drag the mouse into the document. To delete a guide, click on it and drag it onto the ruler.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To move existing guides, click on them with a Move tool and drag them to a new location.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Grid</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Designers often need to place some elements regularly, with an equal distance between them.
|
||
|
|
Instead of adding many guides with the same spaces between them, we can use the <b>grid</b>.
|
||
|
|
A regular grid will be displayed over your document, which can help you align other elements.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Pixel Grid</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The Pixel Grid draws a grid with one pixel gap. It is visible only after zooming in close enough.
|
||
|
|
When an image area has a constant color, the Pixel Grid helps you see the borders between pixels (can be useful for pixel art).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Guides, Grid or Pixel Grid can be turned off or turned on using View - Guides, View - Grid or View - Pixel Grid.
|
||
|
|
The size of the grid can be changed in Edit - Preferences. Note, that guides are related
|
||
|
|
to a specific document and can be different in each document, while the same grid is displayed over all documents.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Snapping</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Placing elements precisely on the guide (or on the grid) can be hard. We may need to zoom in
|
||
|
|
and move the object several times, until it is on the right spot.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Snapping</b> can solve this problem. Whenever your object is near the guide (e.g. closer than 5 pixels),
|
||
|
|
it is "snapped" to that guide, i.e. its location is set to the location of that guide.
|
||
|
|
You don't have to be so precise, Photopea finds the nearest guide and moves the object for you.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Snapping can be enabled or disabled using View - Snap. You can snap to different things, such as guides,
|
||
|
|
grid, document bounds etc. (take a look into View - Snap To). But with snapping, you are less flexible, e.g.
|
||
|
|
when you want to place an object close to the guide, but not exactly on it.
|
||
|
|
It is useful to disable snapping in such cases.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Snapping can be used with all tools, where you would expect it:
|
||
|
|
Move tool, Free Transform, Crop tool, selections, tools for editing vector graphics etc.</p>
