Viewing layer position

---

You can display information about the size of a layer’s content and its position on the canvas in the Navigator panel. Think of the area of a layer that contains images as being marked by a bounding box. For more information, see Selecting layers. The Navigator panel displays the dimensions and position of the bounding box, not the entire area of the layer. This makes it easy to determine the exact size and location of a layer’s content in the document.

The following table describes the information displayed in the Navigator panel.

 

Position indicator (measured in pixels)	Description
X	X-coordinate of the pointer on the canvas
Y	Y-coordinate of the pointer on the canvas
W	Width of the layer’s content
H	Height of the layer’s content

In the document window, you can also view indicators that mark the corners of the selected layer’s content. For more information, see To show layer indicators.
