Photoshop Guru's help / comment on my cluster **JPEGS UP NOW**

[BullyCanadian]

The tachometer is not done, I can also post the originals if you like, but here they are:

Photoshop Format here(together just over 6Mb):
Tachometer
Speedometer
Temp/Gas/Oil

JPEG Format here(together just over 900Kb):
Speedometer
Tachometer
Oil/Gas/Temp



Any comments/suggestions

Or if you can make any small changes and post them as small jpegs and give me ideas?

Sorry I'm a noob at photoshop so dont be too harsh!

BTW i'm planning on putting some kind of logo in the middle of the tach

Use the grid if things have to be symmetrical, and or aligned properly. If you look at the oil/temp one, the oil gauge middle indicator is slightly above the left one. Also, the tach is not symmetrical, not sure if it has to be or not, but if it is you should fix that.

Maybe you're using some other template but that?s just what I see from just glancing at it.

I use grid and snap guides all the time to align things.

edit - Also, the speedometer numbers are a bit too close. How can you do 7080MPH in a saturn.

hmm, I am a noob and have no idea how to set up the grid right now, and yes I just did it over the originals that I found, so I thought they should be close enough.

Hehe, ya I was planning on making those numbers smaller, it looks wayyy too clustered.

Go to view>show grid
view>show rulers ; will give you a ruler on the window, and you can drag snap points to make things nice and aligned.

I'm using the old PS 5.0, so it might not be in the same place in a newer version.

Here's a pic of it in use

I made the red line to show how the indside numbers aren't aligned properly.
