Properties
The second panel of the Property Panel is the Placement Panel.
Name / Group ID – Specifies a Name and Group ID for the current layer. The Name is displayed on the layer and the Group ID can be used to create selection sets. The user can also use those unique names when writing embedded text fields.
Position – Specifies the position of the current layer using X and Y coordinates. Like any slider you can left click and drag to change the value or you can double click and write a value in the box.
Dimensions – Specifies the pixel dimensions of the current layer. W and H specify the width and height respectively.
Scale – Controls the scale of the current layer. By default the X and Y values are locked together so that they have the same value. You can unlock them by clicking on the link slider switch to the right of the sliders.
Flip Horizontally – When enabled, flips the layer horizontally.
Flip Vertically – When enabled, flips the layer vertically.
Pixel Aspect – Specifies the pixel aspect ratio. In addition to the common ways of setting a value for a slider, you can right-click on the slider and choose from list of predefined values.
Crop – Enable or disable the Crop Area. When the crop area is enabled you will be able to control it multiple ways. The first is using the fields below to control its X and Y position as well as its Width (W) and Height (H). You can also drag the edges of the Crop Area in the preview area to resize it or double click on them to reset their position. Finally you can hold Shift and drag the Crop Area to position it.
