[Location on an Image]

The status bar shows the coordinates of your mouse, regardless of which tool you have selected. You don't need to "drag it around." You can also fine tune the location with your keyboard arrows.

Thank you! I never looked right which can be fatal if your crossing the street.

[Location on an Image]

Is there a way to find a location on an image.? Let's say I have an image of 1024 x 768 and I want to find the pixel at 354 x 47. How do I do that? Right now I'm using the rectangle selection tool and dragging it around because I can see the coordinates at the bottom of the screen which seems a little klugy. Thanks.

[Resize Layers]

Use Rotate/Zoom tool:

Select the layer you want to resize, by highlighting it in the layers window (click on it to highlight it)

Layers > Rotate/Zoom, and move the Zoom slider up or down to resize the layer

And if want to open a layer in a new window:

1-Select the layer,

2-Edie > Select all (ctrl+A)

3-Edit > Copy (Ctrl+C)

4-Edit > Paste in to New Image.(Ctrl+Alt+V)

Forgive my obtuseness but when I use the Rotate/Zoom tool it does change the size but it also moves the layer's position in my image. If I follow your second suggestion, it gives me a new image which is blank. That is, it is the same size as my layer but just has a white background.

Because of the the application this is used for I need a precise location of the layers on the image (within a single pixel) and the same for the size of the layer. I have all that now but I see no good way to edit either the size of the layer nor its' location.

Thanks for the help

[Resize Layers]

Forgive me for such a dumb newbie question. I have a document with three layers, nothing fancy. I want to make one of the layers bigger. The docs say use the selection tool (in my case the rectangle tool) to make a selection. They say if you want to resize the selection just grab on of the handles. This works as it should. However I want to resize my layer, which is essentially a square image. I can't see where to do this. The layer properties don't even show the size of my layer. Is there some way to open the layer in another window? Help!

Thanks
