Viewing layer position
You can display information about the size of a layer’s content and its position on the canvas in the
Navigator panel. Think of the area of a layer that contains images as being marked by a bounding box. For
more information, see “Selecting layers” on page 524. The Navigator panel displays the dimensions and
position of the bounding box, not the entire area of the layer. This makes it easy to determine the exact size
and location of a layer’s content in the document.
The following table describes the information displayed in the Navigator panel.
Position indicator (measured in pixels) Description
X X-coordinate of the pointer on the canvas
Y Y-coordinate of the pointer on the canvas
W Width of the layer’s content
H Height of the layer’s content
In the document window, you can also view indicators that mark the corners of the selected layer’s content.
For more information, see “To show layer indicators” on page 526.
To displaying layer position information
•
Choose Window Navigator.
If the panel is not expanded, double-click the Navigator panel tab.
Grouping layers
Grouping layers enables you to control layers as a unit. A group can contain any combination of layers:
pixel-based layers, Watercolor layers, Liquid Ink layers, vector-based shapes, and dynamic layers.
You can move, rename, hide, show, lock, and set options for a group just as you do for a single layer.
However, you cannot paint across layers in a group or change the composite method for a group; you must
collapse the group into a single layer if you want to paint on it.
