Chapter 8 Compositing with Layers
6. Click the Align bottom edges button. Notice that the feet shapes are aligned along their bottom edge.
Distributing Layers Distribution places an identical amount of space between multiple objects. This can be an important step in creating a professional-looking design. Distribution is similar to alignment in how it is accessed. However, the intent is slightly different. You will need three or more objects to distribute them. Let’s distribute a few layers:
1. Turn off the visibility icons for all layers except Background, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Click the eye icon to make a layer invisible.
2. Select the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter layers. 3. Choose the Move tool by pressing V or clicking in the upper-right corner of the Tools panel.
4. In the Options bar you will see distribution options (to the right of the alignment options). Roll over each to become familiar with their names.
5. Click the Distribute horizontal centers button to spread the images apart evenly.
6. Click the Align bottom edges button. Your image will now be evenly aligned and distributed.
