New guide layout in photoshop cs6

In Photoshop CS6, the guide layout has undergone some changes. Here's a brief overview of the new layout and how to use it:

New Guide Layout:

The new guide layout in Photoshop CS6 is more intuitive and flexible than its predecessor. It's now divided into three main sections:

  1. Rulers: The rulers are located at the top and left sides of the workspace. You can use them to measure and align objects.
  2. Guides: The guides are located below the rulers and are used to create and manage guides.
  3. Grid: The grid is located below the guides and is used to create a grid pattern for your document.

Creating Guides:

To create a guide, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the "View" menu and select "New Guide" or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Windows) or "Command+Shift+R" (Mac).
  2. In the "New Guide" dialog box, enter the values for the guide you want to create. You can choose from the following options:
    • Horizontal: Create a horizontal guide.
    • Vertical: Create a vertical guide.
    • Angle: Create a guide at a specific angle.
    • Position: Enter the position of the guide in pixels or percentages.
  3. Click "OK" to create the guide.

Managing Guides:

To manage your guides, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the "View" menu and select "Show Guides" or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Windows) or "Command+Shift+R" (Mac) to toggle the guides on and off.
  2. To delete a guide, select it and press the "Delete" key.
  3. To move a guide, select it and drag it to the desired position.
  4. To resize a guide, select it and drag one of its handles.

Grid:

The grid is a useful tool for creating a grid pattern in your document. To turn the grid on and off, go to the "View" menu and select "Show Grid" or use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+G" (Windows) or "Command+Shift+G" (Mac).
