The picture.

You can leave View....Extras on and turn off View....Show...Slices. This will allow you to still show selection edges(marching ants), grids, guides, annotations and the like and not show the slice numbers.

If you get the Pro+ version of Neatimage, it includes a plug-in in addition to the standalone program (for a few more dollars.) I'm using it with CS and it works beautifully. They do have an upgrade price if you are already using Neatimage. http://www.neatimage.com/featuremap.html Bill

You can resize by 70 pixels with Photoshop Scripting. On a PC you can do it with the following VBScript. This can be done in AppleScript or JavaScript for Mac users. I don't write either of those languages. Further information at: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1536 ' VB Script to Resize for drop shadow 'save this code with a .vbs extension. 'double click and it will resize all open documents with a 70 pixel border Dim appRef 'As New Photoshop.Application set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application") ' Remember current unit settings and then set units to ' the value expected by this script Dim originalRulerUnits 'As Photoshop.PsUnits originalRulerUnits = appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits = 1 'psPixels Dim DocRef 'As Photoshop.Document Set DocRef = appRef.ActiveDocument ' resize all open documents For Each DocRef In appref.Documents appRef.ActiveDocument = appRef.Documents(DocRef.Name) DocRef.ResizeCanvas DocRef.Width + 70, DocRef.Height + 70, 5 Next ' DocRef ' Restore unit setting appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits = originalRulerUnits ' end of script

Hold down the shift key when you drag one picture to another with the move tool. The "dragged" picture will be automatically centered.

If you convert to Lab mode temporarily you can mess with the lightness and not affect the colors. Then you can play with Curves and darken just the lightness values of the neon sign with a curve like the attachment shows which may get you closer to what you want.
