STEP SIX: On both the Sky and Fore-

ground Color layers in the Ground

Replacement Group, click the space

between the layer thumbnail and

its mask to link them together. Then

click on the Sky layer to make

it active and press Command-T

(PC: Ctrl-T) for Free Transform.

You should see the actual content

bounds in the Transform control, but

also the central Transform reference

point (if you don’t see it, look for a

checkbox in the upper left of the

Options Bar to toggle it on). The

reference point will be at the center

of the selected content, not the

canvas. Notice that the boundary of

the Sky layer is outside the visible

canvas (press Command-0 [PC:

Ctrl-0] to zoom out to see the entire

bounding box).

STEP SEVEN: Zoom in (I’m using 400% here) for more precision and drag the

reference point so that it’s centered on the guides. Unfortunately, the point will

not snap to the guides, so you have to move it carefully on your own. Also note

that the cursor will change to show a tiny directional arrow when you’re close

enough to the point to drag it; otherwise, you’ll be dragging the layer content.

Only drag the reference point!
