]]> Lately I’ve been doing more and more web design and with that comes graphic design, photo placement, text alignment, so on and so forth. While I’m building a site out, I often find myself needing to know the exact distance in a column or row so that I can size a graphic or photo to fit properly. This is where PixelStick comes into play.

This tiny Mac only piece of software will show you distance and angles shown your screen, perfect for web developers needing to know how wide something is to fit a proper graphic in. Prior to using this tool, I used to screen grab a site, open in Photoshop and then crop down to determine the distance. Now all of this is gone!

Anyone who does web or graphic design work should give PixelStick a try, and it’s totally for free. The only requirement is Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
