Guides


In September, I wrote about seamless frames, which included a crash course on guides. What else can guides do?

When making an image map, you can choose to break it apart instead of coding the edges. Use the guides to represent the edge of each area on your map. Go to View and make sure Lock to Guides is checked. Use the square Selection Tool on the different areas. Copy and paste each to its new document. Save them as separate files. Placing the images on the page put them in a table (or center them if that will work) according to the image shape.

When you scan images, they're not always exactly straight on the scanner. You don't want to cut out parts of the image like this:


But sometimes it's hard to gauge what's absolutely horizontal. Drag a guide onto the image approximately to the center of the edge.


Select | All and go to Edit | Transform | Rotate. Turn the selection until the edge is parallel to the edge like this:


Zoom in and drag guides to the edges of the image until there are four:


Crop the center area and you are done. You've lost the bare minimum of the image.
