Wow. Nice. I hadn't tried this earlier. This indeed addresses the issue I had in mind. In my mind, I expected this to work more like the move tool. I pictured something like 'move and snap to layer edges'. That I think, would be effective. (I'll gladly elaborate on this idea if needed) Also, it could be a good UI and UX exercise trying to model this out. Thanks for telling me about this tool. I shall use it more extensively and get back. On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 9:42 PM, Bill Skaggs <[email protected]> wrote: > Have you tried using the alignment tool?
