P: Custom Guides (groupable, colorable, nameable guides)

Hi! I've been thinking this for quite a while, and I know most of the web designers out there have the same need... groupable, colorable, nameable guides.

It's important to use guides. But sometimes it gets a little messy.

What would be perfect is if guides had their own layer-style format. And each group, or layer, had an asigned color. You could turn on and off visibility of specific groups, or just turn them all off by hitting cmd + H, as we do today.

This would make photoshop THE perfect software for web design.

    Great point FedericP.

    Have you tried to use Paths as guides? You can use path tool to draw your own, custom guides.

    But there is a little problem with it. The displayed Path will take a precedence when attempting Free Transform.
    Here's how to 'trick' Photoshop.

    Select targeted Layer and select your Path 'guide'. Press cmd-h to hide the path - initiate Free Transform on targeted Layer - press cmd-h to view path again - continue Free Transform on the targeted Layer while viewing the paths as your guide.

    A little work around, but an excellent way to follow precise custom guides - without guides! ;)

    I hope this helps 😉
