If I double-click on this guide, it will allow me to edit the text of the guide (which contains the position of the guide as a number – in this case “512”, as well as the units being used to display the guides position – in this case “pixels.” This is denoted by the red arrow in the image above). If I click on this guide once, it will make this guide active. You’ll see that the first guide I created shows up under the “Horizontal Guides” column.
This will bring up the “Guides” panel (outlined in blue in the photo above) with options for editing existing horizontal or vertical guides or creating new guides. To access the Guides Manager, go to View>Guides Manager. Method 2įor more precise guide placement, as well as the ability to quickly place or remove multiple guides, you’ll want to use what’s called the “Guides Manager.” However, there is a way to get precision with guide placement using the second method for Ruler Guide placement. The downside to this method for creating guides is that you may not be able to precisely place the guide at the exact pixel location you’d like on your document. Release your mouse click, and the guide will be placed at that location (red arrow in the image above). This will produce a guide as you drag your mouse downward and over your document (blue arrow in the image above).Ĭontinue to hold your mouse click until you reach the location where you would like to place your guide. Once you have the rulers around your canvas, click and drag your mouse from either the vertical or horizontal rulers around your canvas (red arrow in the image above is pointing to the horizontal rulers). If not, you can turn them on by using the ctrl+r shortcut key or by going to View>Show Rulers (shown above). Next, make sure your rulers are displayed around your canvas. The first is to grab the “Move Tool” from the tools panel (red arrow in the image above – or by using the “V” shortcut key). There are two main methods for creating ruler guides. This type of guide is best used for anyone creating layouts for magazines, websites, phone apps, etc. The second type of guide is called a “Column Guide.” These guides are for creating templates or mock-ups, creating rows and columns on your document while also displaying “padding” to show how much space there is between each “cell” created by the rows and columns. The first type is called a “Ruler Guide,” which is the more traditional guide you create from the rulers around your composition that show up as a light blue line across your document. The first thing to note about Affinity Photo is that there are actually two types of guides you can create.
