Photoshop :: Keep Guides Centered When Resizing Canvas
Nov 7, 2012
I'm working on a 960 grid layout, with all the vertical guides showing the grid.
I want to increase my canvas width from 960 to 1200, keeping the artwork centred, so in the canvas size dialog box I select the center anchor. Unfortunately this keeps the artwork centred but the guides always move left, as if they're anchored to the left of the canvas. This means the guides are no longer in position.
Is there any way to add more canvas to both sides while keeping the guides where they are relative to the artwork?
I've scanned and saved a paw print from my dog with the purpose of shrinking it to be able to make a stamp. But every-time I resize the image to 1.5 cm and the canvas size to 4 cms more (5.5 cm) when I come to print it (luckily haven't printed on expensive special paper yet) the settings change and it comes out bigger?
i have installed photoshop cs6 on my computer and have this problem... usually when im resizing and transforming things, either the canvas goes blank (black) or outside the canvas in the photoshop window get pixelated (the pixel grid shows up) and it is glitchy.[URL]...
When resizing the canvas for a photo in some but not all saved images the canvas extension color is greyed out. The particular photo is saved as a Tiff. Why is this and how can I solve the problem.
I have a canvas and it's 2048x2048 the image is 2041x2041 but there's this ugly gap on the sides and if I use the zealous crop tool it changes the canvas to 2041x2041. This aint what I want.
I want the image to be 2048 with the canvas so, I do image resize, thinkin oh this will work.
but nah, if I image resize it changes the whole canvas, I just want the image to change, and besides that if the canvas is 2048 the image resize tool will say the Image is 2048 even though the image it's self is 2041. So I guess what I'm sayin is there's a bug or something which makes the image resize tool resize the canvas instead.
So how would I go about resizing my image to fit the 2048 canvas?
I'm trying to make a picture compostion out of several pictures. I want the canvas to be fixed from the beginning and stay fixed. The problem is that whenever I add a picture using "Layer -> Import from file" and the imported picture is larger than the canvas the canvas get resized to the size of the imported pictue. Is there a way to prevent that?
I have a number of vertical and horizontal guides to be placed, at different points. Is there a better way of placement rather than zooming up on the ruler area, watching the Nav coordinates and dragging and dropping? I'm really looking for a method which will I can key in the actual placement coordinates in some way, and the guide will jump to this point?
Draw a rectangle to allign with ellipse's outer dimension by Alignment Guides (not by Align and Distribute command).
Now the aligned side of the Rectangle must be tangent to the ellipse BUT it's not! To verify, try to search an intersection point. Draw a Guideline and snap it to the rectangle's aligned side. It must be intersection point between Guideline and Ellipse but there isn't...
I'm working on a flyer on a 8x11 canvas, but I want all of the elements I'm working to be transferred to a NTSC video film format. I understand how to a open a NTSC (Video Film Canvas), but I do not understand how to convert a canvas that I'm working to that.
I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.
I'm recording an action and want the text to be centred horizontally. It just won't do it. Pressing the paragraph buttons shjoot the text off the side and seems to be based on where you intially type the text in the first place. This must be the simplest thing on PS why won't the text just jump to the middle of the photo?
Secondly I'm drawing a selection around the text (then filling with black). There seems to be no way to centralise a selection box either. As when I run the action on different sized photos the box and text end up in completely different places, separately. Why is this and how can I centralise a selection too?
Why is my image not centered when I print? I have set everything correctly, but the end result is always an image that is pushed off the page. I thought it was my old printer, but I just got a new one, and it is happening with this one, too.
Zoom in so much that the image is bigger than the screen and then navigate somewhere near the edges of the image. Then zoom out again. When the image is the size of the screen, Photoshop centers it annoyingly. In short, it's not possible to move the photo on the screen when it fits the screen, only when it's zoomed in a bit.
Reasons of moving a fitting image on the screen can be for example that the screen is big and you want to get a certain edge of the image at the top of the screen... or near the tools, who knows.
Really annoying anyway and the option "Resize windows when zooming" doesn't affect this behaviour.
When I zoom in with the scroll wheel, the zoom is relative to location of the cursor. However, when I zoom out using the scroll wheel, it automatically zooms out relative to the center of the canvas. Is there a shortcut key or a setting that will allow for when you zoom out to be centered on the location of your mouse, rather than the center of the canvas?
I have owned Photoshop CS3 and CS5. I have used these products across 3 different computers, OSX and Windows in several different versions. I have used 4 or 5 different printers and each and every time my images print offset to the left of the page with about an 1 inch blank space down the right edge of the page. Portrait or Landscape, it makes no difference. I have tweaked the settings in Photoshop and the operating system and printer settings endlessly, all to no avail.why Photoshop isn't capable of printing an image centered on the page or borderless. I am currently using Windows 8.1 beta, an Intel i5 based system, a Canon MG6220 printer with Photoshop 5.1 64 and 32 bit.
last couple of documents I've been working on,I've been needing horizontal and vertical guides (no problem) but why is it when i close the file (saved all work) when I open the file to continue the guides have to be redone. Isn't there a save guides option in CS6
Is there any way to paste guides, or, putting it another way, can I take an image, add guides, erase the image, keep the guides and paste in another image? Everytime I paste in another image I lose the guides. I want to know where I am in the second.
I have just become aware of the smart guides in CS4. They seem to show up momentarilyin vicinity of certain points e.g. the center of page or the pupil of human eye.I have found very little about them in the help section -
is there any way to create multiple guides in an image by giving the space in pixels or inches as I have to put hundreds of guides in some images and I dont want to do the standard drag and drop procedure of making guides because its more time consuming and also I have the exact pixels location where I need to put those guides in different images ( I dont want to record actions either because images are different),
I have a block that is being inserted to my drawing via my .net program. The problem I am having is my attributes are centered, but the content coming from .net is not. If I change the attribute value in AutoCAD after the fact it goes back to being centered.
