: Determine distance between two layers in Photoshop I have a Photoshop document with several small layers replicated in a vertical stack, each a fixed distance apart. I want to add another copy
I have a Photoshop document with several small layers replicated in a vertical stack, each a fixed distance apart. I want to add another copy to the bottom of the stack, the same distance as the other ones, but I want it to be exact, not just eyeballed.
Is there a way I can determine the distance between two layers so I can place the new one the same distance below the last one?

I would do similar to what Joonas said in comment.
Guide to bottom edge of one object (obj 1), guide to top and bottom of the next object (obj 2).
Draw a rectangular marquee from bottom edge of obj 1 to the top edge of obj 2 then drag the marquee so the top of the marquee is at the bottom edge of obj 2. Drag a guide down. Repeat.
Might need to switch layers as you go so that it snaps to the right object.
Zoom in until you see the Pixel Grid.
Choose Window > Measurement Log to open the Measurement Panel
Make certain View > Snap is checked and View > Snap To > Layer is checked
Grab the Ruler Tool (click and hold the Eyedropper Tool)
Click on the outer pixel f one layer and drag to the other layer. The preview line should snap to the pixels.
Click Record Measurement on the Measurement Panel. The Panel will then display the distance under the Length column.
