PS 7 & "Extras"

[DougHoke]

When I first started using PS 7 6-7 monthes ago my photos had an annoying icon in the top left corner. I discovered this had to do with 'extras' under the view menu. Somehow I did something that removed it. About a week ago I did something that brought it back. Can anyone tell me how to turn this off and on?!

I think that's because you have "slices" visible... if they're on, turn them off - and then tell me if I'm wrong.

Go to the view menu and select Extras - or Ctrl/Cmd H.

Working with Extras

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guides, grid, target paths, selection edges, slices, image maps, text bounds, text baselines, text selections, and annotations are nonprinting Extras that help you select, move, or edit images and objects. You can turn on or off an Extra or any combination of Extras without affecting the image. You can also show or hide Extras by choosing the Extras command in the View menu.

For a description of using specific Extras, see Using guides and the grid; Annotating images (Photoshop); Making pixel selections; Using the marquee tools; Selecting paths (Photoshop); Entering paragraph type; Formatting characters; Creating and viewing slices; and Creating and viewing image maps (ImageReady).

To show Extras:

Choose View > Extras. A check mark appears next to all shown Extras in the Show submenu.

Note: Choosing Extras also shows color samplers, even though color samplers are not an option in the Show submenu.

To hide Extras:

With Extras showing, choose View > Extras. A dot (Windows) or a dash (Mac OS) appears next to all hidden Extras in the Show submenu.

Note: Hiding only suppresses the display of Extras. It does not turn off these options.

To show one Extra from a list of hidden Extras:

Choose View > Show and choose an Extra from the submenu. Choosing one of the hidden Extras will cause it to show, and turn off all other Extras.

To turn on and off a group of Extras:

Choose View > Show > All to turn on and show all available Extras. Choose View > Show > None to turn off all Extras.
