 Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:19 am Post subject: HELP w/ Imaginary Lines |
 |
|
I am making an 8x12 book with a lab of a wedding I have just shot. My lab gives me the dimensions of the book so I can make layouts to place in the book.Ex:
width: 16.77 inches
height: 11.46 inches
Trim: .12 inches (all the way around layout)
Safety Edge: .60 inches( ")
The safety and Trim are "imaginary lines" so that i know where my photos will be cut off.
I am asking if anyone knows how to put these imaginary lines in the layout so I know where my photos will be cut off at. Without them showing on the photo itself.
I have an attachment that I can't size down to give you an example and better understanding. But because it's too big I can't attach it. Let me know if I can email it to you! Really...I don't mind!
Any help would be much appreciated!!! Please help!!! |

View > Rulers
Click on either ruler and drag a guide out onto your image where you please.

ok so it works GREAT, but my only problem is how do I get the ruler to be at an exact amount? I could guestimate but it needs to be exact for this project. Like one line needs to be .12 inches and the other line needs to be .60 inches. Help? |

go to preference and under units and rulers you can specify the exact amount of your ruler spacing.
