Does anyone know if there’s any way to group and hide guides or just hide certain guides? Sometimes I end up with so many guides on a document that it gets hard to tell which ones are being used for what. I’d like to be able to keep some guides visible and hide the rest.

Naw, it’s all or none. Sorry.

And that describes part of what many of us would like to see with enhancements to the Guidelines functions.

We’ve been asking for several versions. Might be time to submit yet another feature request.

Colour coding the groups would be good too. Green guides for this, red guides for that, blue guides for the other.

And here I was thinking…"how the hell could that be useful". Now you guys got me thinking…

….or even a "Save Guides" function which would allow us to call up different saved guide sets.

Chris Cox – are you there?

If Photoshop can ship with presets under File > New which include guides, why can’t we create new presets with guides of our own?

How about diagonal guides? I have had times when I could have used them.

I could use diagonal guidelines quite often. As it stands now, I have to make them with Shape Layer lines.

Chris Cox has said that rotatable guidelines is a difficult feature to add to Photoshop , but didn’t go much further in the way of an explanation about why.

That is odd, because in Illustrator you can convert any path to a guide.
