Photoshop Guides Question

• lvl_13

  Is there any way to have two different colored guides in one PS document? I'm creating a grid system that consists mainly of two columns (with a bunch of shit in either side).

  Is there any way to say set the guides that are specifically for the left column in color x, and the guides that are in the right column set to color y?

  is that possible? if not any work arounds (without using 1px line shapes)

  Thanks!

  Haha, this might be tedious but you could probably set a recorded action for guide set 1 and guide set 2. As annoying as it may seem, you'll have to constantly redo the actions every time you go back and forth.

  Otherwise no, can't change colors, or create a new set.

  However, if you work in indesign, the ability for multi guides exists. Don't see why adobe just transfers it over, im assuming they are adding this to their list of features in 6.0 ;]

  • not really "redo" but play out -- with a 'clear guides' for both actions.lobstarr

  let's hope so. it seems so obvious of a feature. i'm sick of creating the one pixel lines on a million layers and then dropping them into a folder-show/hide

  fucking bullshit adobe! BULLSHIT!

  • Beware.. you risk summoning the slightly damp wrath of Boz.detritus
  • why would you have a million layers? how many grids do you have?VikingKingEleven
  • no, you're right. all the lines could be on one layer. it's still a weak workaround.lvl_13
