CG in Photoshop

[Normster]

Hi,

I hand designed an open/closed shop sign and imported to photoshop. Basic 2D flipover, but in no way is it square. Is there a way in Photoshop to show the C of G of a shape/design? It would help during designing if you can, as I'd like to know where the CG is roughly, to better plan the hang points so the sign will flip easier without too much peripheral weighting being needed after being cut.

... Replying to my own post. Might be possible to find the CG in CorelDraw, but still can't find out how.

Mark, if you were to find and use the exact center, your sign might stop at a horizontal plane rather than vertical so you wouldn't be able to read it (unless you layed on the floor). Will the pivot point be something that could be tightened slightly to keep the sign vertical? If so, you guess close enough and not have to be so exact.
OR, you could make a practice one!

Not quite sure what you mean by a "flip-over" but I assume you will be flipping it around a vertical axis.  In that case, hold two small nails, one in front, and one behind the finished cutout sign and place them where you think the sign will hang properly.  If not quite right, move the nails around until it hangs the way you want.  Don't push the nails too hard or they will leave a visible mark.

Once it hangs the way you want, push the one in the back harder to make a mark.  Drill a hole or put a hook as needed.

It's easier to do than to describe but I hope I made sense.
