Gold measurement scale

As of July 2024, Photoshop’s legacy 3D features have been removed. However, now in the Photoshop (beta) app you can seamlessly add 3D objects to your 2D Photoshop design using the Adobe Substance 3D Viewer (beta) app. Click here for more details. About measurement Using the Photoshop Measurement feature you can measure any area defined with the Ruler tool or with a selection tool, including irregular areas selected with the Lasso, Quick Select, or Magic Wand tools. You can also compute the height, width, area, and perimeter, or track measurements of one image or multiple images. Measurement data is recorded in the Measurement Log panel. You can customize the Measurement Log columns, sort data within columns, and export data from the log to a tab-delimited, Unicode text file. Setting a measurementscale sets a specified number of pixels in the image equal to anumber of scale units, such as inches, millimeters, or microns.Once you’ve created a scale, you can measure areas and receive calculationsand log results in the selected scale units. You can create multiplemeasurement scale presets, although only one scale can be used ina document at a time. You can place scale markerson an image to display the measurement scale. Scale markers canappear with or without a caption displaying measurement scale units. Set the measurement scale Use the Ruler tool to set the measurement scale for a document. You can create measurement scale presets for frequently used measurement scales. Presets are added to the Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale submenu. The current measurement scale for a document is checked in the submenu, and appears in the Info panel. Choose Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale > Default to return to the default measurement scale, 1 pixel = 1 pixel. Set measurement scale Choose Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale > Custom. The Ruler tool is automatically selected. Drag the tool to measure a pixel distance in the image or enter a value in the Pixel Length text box. Your current tool setting is restored when you close the Measurement Scale dialog box. Enter the Logical Length and Logical Units that you wantto set equal to the Pixel Length. For example, if the Pixel Length is 50, and you want toset a scale of 50 pixels per micron, enter 1 for Logical Length,and microns for the Logical Units. Click OK in the Measurement Scale dialog box to

Set themeasurement scale on the document. Choose File > Save to save the current measurementscale setting with the document. To display the scale in the Info panel, choose PanelOptions from the panel menu , andselect Measurement Scale in the Status Information area. To display the measurement scale at the bottomof the document window, choose Show > Measurement Scalefrom the document window menu. Create a measurement scale preset Choose Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale > Custom. Create a measurement scale. Click Save Preset and name the preset. Click OK. The preset you created is added to the Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale submenu. Delete a measurement scale preset Choose Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale > Custom. Select the preset you want to delete. Click Delete Preset and click OK. Use scale markers Measurement scale markers display the measurement scale used in your document. Set the measurement scale for a document before creating a scale marker. You can set the marker length in logical units, include a text caption indicating the length, and set the marker and caption color to black or white. Create a scale marker Choose Image > Analysis > Place Scale Marker. In the Measurement Scale Marker dialog box, set the followingoptions: Length Enter a value to set the length of the scale marker.The length of the marker in pixels depends on the measurement scalethat is currently selected for the document. Font Choose the font for the display text. Font Size Choose the font size for the display text. Display Text Select this option to show the logical length and unitsfor the scale marker. Text position Displays caption above or below the scale marker. Color Sets the scale marker and caption color to black or white. The scale marker is placed in the lower left corner ofthe image. The marker adds a layer group to the document, containinga text layer (if the Display Text option is selected) and a graphiclayer. You can use the Move tool to move the scale marker, or theText tool to edit the caption or change text size, font, or color. Add or replace scale markers You can place multiple scale markers in adocument, or replace existing markers. Additional scalemarkers are placed in the same position on the image and can obscureeach other, depending on their length. To view an underlying marker,turn off the scale marker layer set. Choose

Image > Analysis > Place Scale Marker. Enter settings for the new marker and click OK. Delete a scale marker In the Layers panel, select the MeasurementScale Marker layer group for the scale marker you want to delete. Right-click the layer group and select Delete Group fromthe context menu, or click the Delete Layer button. Click Group and Contents. Perform a measurement Youcan measure using the Photoshop selection tools, Ruler tool, orCount tool. Choose a measurement tool that matches the type of datayou want to record in the Measurement Log. Create a selection area to measure values such as height, width, perimeter, area, and pixel gray values. You can measure one selection or several selections at once. Draw a line with the Ruler tool to measure linear distance and angle. Use the Count tool to count items on the image, then record the number of items. See Counting objects in an image.Each measurement measures one or more data points. The data points you select determine the information recorded in the Measurement Log. Data points correspond to the type of tool you’re measuring with. Area, perimeter, height, and width are available data points for measuring selections. Length and angle are available data points for Ruler tool measurements. You can create and save sets of data points for particular types of measurements to speed your workflow. Open an existing document. Choose Image > Analysis > Set Measurement Scale and choose a measurement scale preset for the document (see Set the measurement scale), or choose Custom and set a custom measurement scale. Measurements are computed and recorded in the MeasurementLog using the scale units in effect when a measurement is recorded.If no measurement scale exists, the default scale is 1 pixel = 1 pixel. (Optional) Choose Image > Analysis > Select Data Points and do one of the following: Choose Custom to select data points tomeasure. Select an existing data point preset from the submenu. In the Select Data Points dialog box, data points are groupedaccording to the measurement tool that can measure them. The Commondata points are available for all tools. They add useful informationto the Measurement Log such as the name of the file being measured,the measurement scale, and the date/time of the measurement. Bydefault all data points are selected. You can select a subset ofdata points for a particular type of measurement, then save thecombination as a data point preset.

(file) measured. Gray Value This is a measurement of brightness, either from 0 to 255(for 8‑bit images), 0 to 32,768 (for 16‑bit images), or 0.0 to 10(for 32‑bit images). For all gray value-related measurements, theimage is internally converted to grayscale (equivalent to choosingImage > Mode > Grayscale) using the defaultgrayscale profile. Then the requested calculations (mean, median,minimum, maximum) are calculated for each feature and for the summary. Height Height of the selection (max y - min y), in units accordingto the current measurement scale. Histogram Generates histogram data for each channel in the image (threefor RGB images, four for CMYK, and so on), recording the numberof pixels at each value from 0 to 255 (16‑bit or 32‑bit values areconverted to 8‑bit). When you export data from the Measurement Log,the numeric histogram data is exported to a CSV (comma-separatedvalue) file. The file is placed in its own folder at the same locationwhere the measurement log tab-delimited text file is exported. Histogramfiles are assigned a unique number, starting at 0, and progressingby 1. For multiple selections measured at once, one histogram fileis generated for the total selected area, plus additional histogramfiles for each selection. Integrated Density The sum of the values of the pixels in the selection. Thisis equivalent to the product of Area (in pixels) and Mean Gray Value. Label Identifies and automatically numbers each measurement as Measurement1, Measurement 2, and so on. For multiple selections measured simultaneously,each selection is assigned an additional Feature label and number. Length Linear distance defined by the Ruler tool on the image, inunits according to the current measurement scale. Perimeter The perimeter of the selection. For multiple selections measuredat once, one measurement is generated for the total perimeter ofall selections, plus additional measurements for each selection. Scale The measurement scale of the source document (for example,100 px = 3 miles). Scale Units Logical units of the measurement scale. Scale Factor The number of pixels assigned to the scale unit. Source Source of the measurement: Ruler tool, Count tool, or Selection. Width Width of the selection (max x - min x), in units accordingto the current measurement scale. Create a data point preset Choose Image > Analysis > Select Data Points > Custom. Select data points to include in the preset. Click Save Preset and name the preset. Click OK. The preset is saved and is now available fromthe Analysis > Select Data Points submenu. Edit

If a drawing does not contain a scale only measurement , ie: door opening 3'. How can I set my scale to that door opening measurement? Dee Bee Voted Best Answer First of all, verify which scale is the current one and make sure it is 1:1. To do this, click on the Measuring Tool under Analyze, right-click anywhere on the PDF document and choose “Change Scale Ratio”. If the measurements in the document are in inches, for example, make sure the Scale Ratio is 1 in = 1 in.Use the Distance Tool to measure the 3” distance in the drawing (you can increase the zoom to make this process more precise), and then use this measurement to set your custom scale, by right-clicking on the document again, choosing “Change Scale Ratio” and typing this value in the scale ratio as (new value) in = 3 in. After this, you can delete the measurement and use the custom scale to take new measurements.
