As we explained in the Interface chapter, the panels you see depend on what was done
the last time you (or someone else) used the Photoshop application. Because workspace
arrangement is such a personal preference, we tell you what panels you need to use, but
we don’t tell you where to put them.
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.

create a guide positioned at the 1/43 (0.253) mark. Note:
