    Photoshop experts - quick question

    If i have 8 icons i want to place next to eachother in a 700x100 area for instance is there a way to have photoshop automate the distance between the icons?

    Know what i mean?

    Not that I can think of....

    But if you make each icon 87 pixels wide then they will lay right next to each other perfectly at 696 then you can put a 2 pixel border to account for 4 missing pixels.

        That does not space them equally between each other.

        Usually what I do is align them, and then count out the spaces between each.

        For example icon a, b, c, d, e. I will move A 10 spaces to the left...then lock a and b together and now move them 10 more spaces to the left, then lock a,b, and c together and move those 10 spaces to the left, and so on until they are all evenly spaced.

        If the spacing looks nice, I then lock them all together put them inside a folder and center them. About the easiest way I know how to do it.

          Yeah this is the method I use. I'd be very interested in learning the smart way to do it, if one exists.

            Ok, so it needs some work on your own still. Thanks.

              alignment is the best way. Just set your two outside icons where you want them (left and right) the rest should drop equidistant when you align them.

                        you can also use rulers and guides to get it all aligned as well. there is a way to assign a point with each object, but i dont know how to do it.

                        that would be assuming that all objects are the same size too, which i am not familiar with.

                        good luck man.

                            Basically, get Adobe FireWorks CS3, you can do that with a click of a button, it's pretty elite, heh.

                              Create guides at percentages ...

                              you have 8 icons ... so create guides 12.5% each way ...12.5%

                              12.5%
                              25%
                              etc etc

                              Then snap the icons to them....
