Hello, you can drag or place vertical and horizontal guides on your canvas via new guide > guides, is it also possible to place guides on your canvas at a certain angle that you determine yourself?

Paths and/or Shape Layers (Solid Color Layers with Vector Masks, a Stroke and no FIll) can be used for visual alignment, no snapping, though.

No, that's right, I'll just do it this way.

How would you hope to use such a guide? Would you need to snap to it like you can with the current perpendicular guides? If not, then you could use Workpaths or the Line tool. Use shift to force the line to be perpendicular to the boundary to start with, and use Free Transform to rotate to a precise angle.

Can you give us more information about your end goal? If you can, we might have other ideas on how to achieve it.

hello,
i use photoshop to draw on my wacom drawing tablet, adobe illustrator is better suited for that, but i had it on my computer for a while and couldn't get along with it. For that drawing in photoshop i sometimes want to work in perspective and then guide lines that i would put under a certain angle would be a help.
