Photoshop clinging to walls and other objects
 

How do I get that to stop? It didn't do it in Photoshop 6 but I just got CS3 and now it won't stop doing it.

Seriously, "clinging to walls" ??
 

Yeah I wasn't sure what to call it because though I'm good with technology lots of the terminology escapes me.

Like I'll try to move an object and when I get close to a border or another object it'll jump next to it. It means there's this giant area that is automatically magnetizing everything towards it and I can't get anything lined up right.

Reeeeeeal bad static electricity?

You wanna look for an option called "snap to grid" or "snap to borders." No idea where that is in CS3 but that should help you find it at least.

What Meister said.

What I usually do, since I find the snapping option useful at times, is just zoom in closer. This reduces the "sticky" area, and lets you get closer before it activates.

I'm trying to make a character sheet and space all the boxes equally so I can merge the layer, but where I want it to go is the magic fairy-tale space wherein everything gets pulled either one way or another.

Thanks.

EDIT: Hooray, and the fucking annoying Snap to Grid is disabled! At last!

It has its uses, though.
 

I assume you're much more technical about the stuff than I am which is why "Walls" translates to "My Photoshop is stuck to a wall, and I didn't glue it there."

For future reference, with the Move tool activated, you can move the selected layer one pixel at a time using the arrow keys. Shift + arrow keys will move the layer exactly 10 pixels in that direction.
