Hi all.
I’m no expert user of Photoshop, but I have used it almost exclusively for graphics work for 5 years. I’m using PS 7 on a Windows XP machine, and I’m running into a weird problem that I’ve seen before but now want to solve.
I have 9 images on 9 diferent layers, and I’m positioning all of them to make a checkerboard pattern (all images are the same size, rectangular, and are right next to each other in 3 rows of 3, just like on a checkerboard). However, when I double-click the hand tool to see the entire canvas, I see these narrow gaps between some of the images, where I can see a little bit of the background (whatever’s behind all images, the back layer). So I use the zoom tool to zoom in crazily close in order to nudge or resize one image to close that gap, but when I’m zoomed in real close, the gap is gone, and the images are right next to each other with NO space. I zoom back out, and there’s that gap again!
Why would this be happening? I would think that the closer in you’re zoomed, the bigger the gap would appear. But I only see the gap when I’m zoomed OUT. And which is correct? When I print this (it’s to make high-quality holiday cards), will it have the gap, or will all images be right up against each other?
Any help, advice, feedback, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated, and thanks for reading.
