One, your guide line is the appearance of accurate or random

Clutter of Guides

Accurate and neat guides

Second, the basic operation of the auxiliary line

New:

It is common practice to pull the guides directly from the ruler when the ruler is displayed, which is not clear enough, and when the view is magnified it is often found that the guides do not align the actual pixels.

Delete:

Drag the guides out of the document window view to remove the guides. If you want to remove guides, you can use the menu view-Remove Guides feature.

Rotating:

When you hold down ALT, you can rotate the auxiliary line by 90°, which is actually the rotation between the horizontal and vertical guides.

Lock:

Menu "View"-"Lock Guides" feature, lock all guides.

Show and Hide:

Menu "View"-"show"-"Guides", shortcut keys to ctrl+h.

Set up:

You can set guide properties in the pop-up window of the menu preferences-guides and grids. You can modify the color and style of guides in the Guides and Grids Settings window. Alternatively, when you select the Move tool and the guide is not locked, double-clicking the guide will also eject the Settings window, but this may cause the guides to move slightly.

Accurate positioning:

Additional guides have another, more accurate approach, in the menu "View"-"Add guides" pop-up window, accurate positioning by entering numeric values. In addition to entering accurate integer coordinates, you can enter a percentage value. For example, enter 50% to quickly locate the centerline of the picture, and the input 61.8% or 38.2% is the golden line of the current picture. If you need a lot of guides, it takes a long time to calculate, although it is also a time-consuming practice to align the guides to pixels by entering accurate values.

Gold Division

Snap to Pixels:

When you drag a guide, hold down SHIFT and the guides are automatically aligned to the tick on the current ruler. The scale of the ruler changes as the view is scaled.

To use an action or script:

960 grid system is a popular grid system on the Web page. The http://960.gs/website produced a ATN file for designers to generate different types of 960 grids. This action creates a new, fixed-width document and then adds a guide to the document. If you want to center the guides, you need to change the size of the canvas. You can change the canvas width to 960PX, and then extend the canvas horizontally to the same size after you run the action, so that the guides are centered.

Guides are centered when you change the canvas size

Using scripting to create a grid system is more free and flexible. In addition to being able to do a fixed operation like a PS action, the script can add logic or judgment, download the package from the https://gist.github.com/1335730, or copy the code copy out to save it as a. jsx file. In the PS menu "file"-"script"-"Browse" to open the downloaded "numberguidesgride.js" file (the File type dropdown option for the File Browsing dialog box is selected). js "File", the script asks for the spacing and width of the vertical guides, and you don't need a horizontal guide to enter 0.

Use extensions:

Guidesgride is an extension of Photoshop, a free set of guides, capable of establishing a variety of regular guides, saving and managing various user presets. Describes document http://www.guideguide.me/. This extended installation needs to be used to Adobe Extension Manager, which restarts PS after installation and opens the Guidesgride panel under Menu "Windows"-"extended".
