Find out the position in an image

[psphufi]

Hello,

I wish to find out a position within an image. For example there is a tower and will know the coordinates in top% and left%.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

There are several options, the easiest is to position your mouse cursor where you think the top is and then look at the status bar at the bottom of the program. It should show you the location in pixels of the cursor. It'll be in the bottom right-hand corner. Should look something like this

(x:###,y:###) - (R: ###, G: ###, B: ###, O: ###) -- Image: width x height - bit depth

X and Y are the position of your mouse.

You can also use the pick tool to move the "pivot" point and then look at the tool options to see at what location you placed the pivot. So with the pick tool active you make sure you have a layer selected, you should see a pivot point in the middle of the layer. While holding CTRL click in the pivot point and drag it to a new location. now look a the tool options palette under "Pivot" you'll see the current X and Y location.

Thanks for your answer!

But this is not the way I am searching for: I got a CSS and HTML-Code which places hotspots to show tooltips, and the code needs the position in percent top and percent left as you see here:
<div class="HotSpot bullet" style="top: 63%; left: 65%;">

So I have to to look for another way...

Have a good time!

No, you just need to know math.

Seriously, if you know how large your image is, and you know where a location is in pixels. It's simple math to get the percentage. I imagine you want to use percentages because the site is responsive.

So let's assume that you have an image that's 1440x625 pixels in size. You know the point you want is located at x:325, y:250. 325/1440 = .225 or 22.5%. You can found up or down. 250/625 = .4 = 40%. So your location is top:22%; left: 40%;

It would be easy enough to create a small script that will grab a corner of something and then give you the percentages if you want. A script would work like this, you create a rectangle selection starting where the div should start, then run the script. The script will take the top and left coordinates and do the simple math, returning the percentages to the script-output palette. Which would you prefer, manual math, or a script?

Math is not the thing I loved in my schooltime...

[psphufi]

I cannot create such a script...

[LeviFiction]

Didn't say you could, while I admit I didn't make it clear I was offering to make such a script. But I wasn't going to unless you asked.

I've attached the script
