Photoshop JavaScript

Yes, it's him, not a weapon, but a small plugin in PS. Let's use it step-by-step!

(1) Download a size-marks.jsx-v0.1.1 compression package (micro-disk download)

(2) After the decompression to open the file, you will find the "Size marks.jsx" file, copy and paste it into the Photoshop file installation path:

OS X path: OS X.:/applications/[photoshop]/presets/scripts/

Windows path: C:[program files]adobe[photoshop]presetsscripts

(Note: If your software is installed in D or another disk, locate the path in the installed disk.)

(3) Restart Photoshop, the Size Marks is found under the menu "file"-"script", and then we need to name it a shortcut key.

(4) In the menu, find edit-keyboard shortcuts, and then a window, expand files in the window, "Size Marks" under Script >, and click "Ctrl+shift+l" on the keyboard to generate the shortcut keys for this plug-in.

(5) Open the picture you want to mark, click the Selection tool to underline the area you want to dimension, and then ctrl+shift+l OK.

(and the corresponding long or wide size values will be generated in the layer bar, at a glance)

Tip 2: Built-in icon search device, PSD to take it with

UI design is unavoidable icon design, but when the scheduling tight, to the urgent, we inevitably go to a certain flap and so on what website to see, to download ....

If there is such a search ability or such a copy ability, that also said what, long eminence.

However, we do not, that how can, without registration, no need to download, direct PSD source files to use the method of it!

Blendme

But we can not give up, in addition to the usual more to see more practice, more than cumulative experience, we have any small tricks?

Kuler

A PS from the original plug-in, to help us to color (Note: PS version is also less than PS6, or install the proposed version of the green version of what can not be extended function OH)

(1) Open PS, click on the window-extended function –kuler, OK.
