Text info location is different to the tool bar

Hi community.

 

Why does the tool bar show decimal numbers in the tool bar, but the info panel numbers X and Y location is squared off? is there a way to make the toolbar square off these numbers? without manually deleting the decimal numbers.

Thank you.

 

 

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

When the transform is active, the info panel reports the upper-left value in the current ruler units, while your screenshot of the transform has the middle-centre anchor point active and this may or may not be set to a matching unit of measure. To get a better understanding of this, don't use a text layer, just create a pixel layer at a known size and then compare the transform anchor points for upper-left, middle-centre, lower-right etc.
