To align the contents of layers:
1
Do one of the following:
•
To align the content of a layer to a selection border, make a selection in the image. Then
select a layer in the Layers palette.
•
To align the contents of multiple layers to a selection border, make a selection in
the image. Then link together the layers you want to align in the Layers palette.
(See
“Linking layers” on page 289
.)
•
To align the contents of layers to the content of the active layer, link the layers you want
to align to the active layer. (See
“Linking layers” on page 289
.)
2
Choose Layer > Align Linked or Layer > Align To Selection, and choose a command from
the submenu:
•
Top Edges to align the top pixel on the linked layers to the top pixel on the active layer
or the top edge of the selection border.
•
Vertical Centers to align the vertical center pixel on the linked layers to the vertical
center pixel on the active layer or the vertical center of the selection border.
•
Bottom Edges to align the bottom pixel on the linked layers to the bottom pixel on the
active layer or the bottom edge of the selection border.
•
Left Edges to align the left pixel on the linked layers to the left pixel on the active layer
or the left edge of the selection border.
•
Horizontal Centers to align the horizontal center pixel on the linked layers to the
horizontal center pixel on the active layer or the horizontal center of the selection
border.
•
Right Edges to align the right pixel on the linked layers to the right pixel on the active
layer or the right edge of the selection border.
To distribute layers:
1
In the Layers palette, link three or more layers. (See
“Linking layers” on page 289
.)
2
Choose Layer > Distribute Linked, and choose an option from the submenu:
•
Top Edges to space the linked layers evenly starting from the top pixel on each layer.
•
Vertical Centers to space the linked layers evenly starting from the vertical center pixel
on each layer.
•
Bottom Edges to space the linked layers evenly starting from the bottom pixel on each
layer.
•
Left Edges to space the linked layers evenly starting from the left pixel on each layer.
•
Horizontal Centers to space the linked layers evenly starting from the horizontal center
pixel on each layer.
•
Right Edges to space the linked layers evenly starting from the right pixel on each layer.
Locking layers
You can fully or partially lock layers to protect their contents. When a layer is locked, a lock
icon displays to the right of the layer name. The lock icon is solid when the layer is fully
locked; it is hollow when the layer is partially locked.
