Specify columns for an image
Columns help you position images or elements precisely. The New, Image Size, and Canvas Size commands let you
specify image width in terms of columns. Using columns is convenient when you plan to import an image into a page-
layout program, such as Adobe InDesign®, and you want the image to fit exactly within a certain number of columns.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Units & Rulers (Mac OS).
2 Enter values for Width and Gutter.
Position with the Ruler tool
The Ruler tool helps you position images or elements precisely. The Ruler tool calculates the distance between any
two points in the workspace. When you measure from one point to another, a nonprinting line is drawn, and the
options bar and Info panel show the following information:
The starting location (X and Y)
The horizontal (W) and vertical (H) distances traveled from the x and y axes
