Make layer GUIDE similar to AE

Advocate ,

Would be great to be able to toggle a layer in PSD so it is a guide layer and not part of the output of the file, similar to what we can do with layers in AE.

Guide layers are also available in InDesign and Illustrator. I've just upvoted your Feature Request — for the time being you can toggle the guides with shortcut Cmd+; (macOS) or Ctrl+; (Win). (The ; is semi-colon.)

 

How is the ability to put guides on a layer related to Actions, Scripting, Cross-App Workflows, and SDK?

It's not but those were the only choices - which make no sense.

I don't think you understand what I mean... don't want guide lines, want the make a reference layer as a GUIDE just like in AE where the layer will not render.

You're correct, when you said "guide layer", thought you meant layer for guides, as I don't use AE. No worries, though, as I am a volunteer and the staff who looks at Ideas will know exactly what you mean.

I'm actually really surprised that this isn't a feature by now. Upvoted!

With 6 votes in more than a year I am not surprised this has received a low priority.
