I got interested a while back in what tools PS had for precisely placing and positioning objects (groups of pixels or vector shapes).
I made up a summary on my web site for those interested at: http://www.pacificsites.net/~dglaser/art/PhotoShopTips/PSTip sDaleSum02P.html
But these are just the methods. I have an actual problem to solve and I wondered what people thought would be the best way to do it.
I am designing a CD cover. The company which will print the cover specifies a buffer zone around the edges to not spill text or important art into. I want to create an overlaying layer with a 1 pixel box showing this buffer zone. The CD cover is 1490 x 1490 pixels. The buffer box would be 1370 x 1370 pixels precisely centered over the cover art.
How to make this box?
Yes, I could just use guides to show the buffer area but they aren’t permanent.
But at this point the only way I can see to create this box is to start with guides and then use it to create a selection or shape.
Is there a quicker way without using guides???
