2. Uncheck the Columns option and check the Margin option. Type 0.125 in
each of the available margin fields.

You can use the Margin fields to place guides at specific distances from each edge of the
canvas. You don’t need to type the unit of measurement because the default unit for
this file is already inches. Photoshop automatically assumes the value you type is in the
default unit of measurement.

Note:

It is not necessary to type
the unit of measurement
in the dialog box as
long as you are using
the default units for the
active file.

3. Click OK to return to the document and add the required margin guides.

At this point you should have four guides – two vertical and two horizontal, each 1/83
from the file edges. These mark the trim size of your final 8.5 1 113 file.

4. Choose View>100%.

It helps to zoom in to a higher view percentage if you want to precisely place guides. To
complete the following steps accurately, we found it necessary to use at least 100% view.

5. In the top-left corner of the document window, click the zero-point
crosshairs and drag to the top-left intersection of the guides.
You can reposition the zero point to the top-left corner of the bleed allowance by
double-clicking the zero-point crosshairs.

6. Choose the Move tool in the Tools panel.

For this file, the live area (the area in which important objects should be placed) should
be 0.253 inset from the trim edge. This is how we determined that number:

[Width] 8.53 – 8.03 = 0.5 ÷ 2 = 0.253
[Height] 113 – 10.53 = 0.53 ÷ 2 = 0.253
In the next few steps you will add guides that identify the live area.
