: Locating the coordinates of an element within a layer in Gimp? I have a PSD which I've opened up in Gimp (because I currently don't have Photoshop) and I am having difficulty with locating

@Nickens508

The fastest and easiest way is just to look at the bottom left corner of your workspace. There you'll find the exact position of your cursor (1). You can even change the dropdown to cm, px, inches, etc. (2) Of course, this isn't very accurate, but it gets the job done fast and dirty.





A second and more accurate way is using the pointer dialog. You can find it under windows > dockable dialogs > pointer

This also gives you the current position of your cursor, but with much more options.





A third and even more accurate way to find a position, width and height is using the measure tool (the one next to the looking glass). Be sure to select 'use info window'.





And if that doesn't do it for you, take a look at this link.
