I might ( would ) agree it's easier using Xara, but I wanted to know the technique to use with just Photoshop!

I can accomplish the task, but there has to be an easier way than I can do it now.

One of the things that's frustrating about Photoshop is that while I can select the layer and the square, Photoshop won't even say how big it is.

Thanks for the heads-up.
