  1. In the Ruler Tool I can measure a line and the measure appears as "L1".  I want to create a second line as well, but have the measurement appear as "L2" in the same screen.  Is there a way to do this? photoshopforum.jpgI really like to use this method to measure comic book panels to render a matching image.  Thanks for your help!

This only works if the two lines share a common end point. Draw one line, then hold the alt key and drag a new line from the end point of the other line.

This exactly the answer the answer I was looking for! I just make my measurements along the borders and I get both measurements at once! You're the best, Sir!
