Is it possible to produce such design hints (on elements padding, spacing, width, height) automatically in photoshop? Is there any plugin that can potentially do this?

    I don't think so. I've not seen any dimensioning tools for Photoshop. There are dimensioning tools for Adobe Illustrator (Hot Door CAD Tools).

You can't do that in pure Photoshop. But PNG Express extension can help you. PNG Express extension can layout your design specifications onto your design.

Looks like you can. I have not tried it yet (but I will) but specKing looks like it might fit the bill.

It can:

  • specify sizes and distances
  • provide typographic info
  • color specs and other info

From their website:

specKing is a Photoshop plugin that provides tools to generate design specs and annotations

Take a look at: http://wuwacorp.com/specking/

  • I am currently using specctr. Its ok I guess. It will save you time on large documents but after looking at specKing I am thinking that looks like a better tool at less than half the price as specctr. I am going to try it
