Hi guys,

not sure if i am posting this is the right area as it’s more of a feature request. I just wanted to see what other pro users thought of it.

many a time i am trying to make a mish-mash to get some ideas flowing quickly. ok, I have a 150 x 400 document….and i am trying to play with some fonts or some pasted image that has to fit the height only. so if i scale the image/font up, it stretches far out to the right of the doc (about 50% or more for example) now, to make the doc the way i want, i have to resize the canvas with a little guess work to optain the results i want. and then fix the background, etc.

wouldn’t it be nice, if while we’re scaling like this (ctrl+T), to have a "Resize Canvas to selected" ???

illustrator cs4 *sort* of has it with the artboards (its a great feature)….but this added to both photoshop and illustrator would make them so much faster to work with. especially when you want the canvas to match exactly.

just my 2 cents.

Have you tried the "Reveal All" command?

hi, sorry for the late reply. Yep I’ve used that in the past, but I’m thinking more of just one object on a layer in particular that I want to quickly size the document to, whereas "reveal all" does what it says on the tin.

just on a slightly different subject…

I’ve been doing a lot of pixel work lately and noticed that the grid is very inaccurate when it comes to drawing marquees, etc
