P: Enhance guides to allow angled/perspective guides

Why just horizontal or vertical guide lines? why don't you introduce angular guides or perhaps a function like the one in illustratore "make guide" ?

Hi, i got a nice idea: photoshop cs5.1 isn't able to rotate help lines to a manual entered angle. this could be helpful if you want to check for falling lines at (for example) buldings, walls or some objects - important for picture analysis!!
next idea - same direction: photoshop cs5.1 isn't able to exempt shifted objects (see above).

-> i think photoshop should get some select features as we can it use it in powerpoint or ms visio but don't make a copy.....

ich hoffe, man kann mein holpriges englisch lesen - i hope you can unserstand my english

This is an excellent point esoglobine. In the mean time, you can use path tool to draw your own, custom guides instead. Displayed Path will take a precedence when attempting Free Transform however. 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.

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

YES! This is especially useful for two or three point perspective image composites.
