Apologies in advance- I’m a reasonably competent amateur using PS7 for photos and GL6 for pages but with limited experience of page design in PS.
I want to construct a 4×4 array of buttons on the top half of a page 800 pixels wide. The page is a large photo which I want to be seen, with only small round buttons to spoil it. I thought I could use guides to split the page into 200×50 px bits, then repeatedly paste in my button.
I made the button on a 200x50px canvas, leaving most of the space for adding text later as rollover info. I expected the whole canvas to snap to the grid so all my buttons would be aligned.
However it seems if I make it with a transparent background, it’s the BUTTON which snaps, not the canvas (obviously this will do if I redesign the guides layout first).
If I flatten the button document first, I get a button on a white background which will snap to guides but is no use as it needs to be transparent.
