Save Guides as a Template?

Is there a way to save guides as a template in photoshop? I am having to resize multiple images to the same size so guides would make my life a lot easier.

Thanks,

Stephen.

    What version?

    If you have CC 2014.2.2, then go View > New Guide layout, set up your template, and use the Preset Drop down to save your template.  You can have as many as you might reasonably want as far as I know:

    If you have CS6 or earlier, install the free GuideGuide Extension.  Note there is a CC version of GuideGuide, and I use both, but I think the new native Adobe tool has the edge.

    This seems to only work if you want columns and/or rows that are the same width. I often want different sets of guides for different aspects of the same project, not necessarily evenly spaced or symmetrical. What I would like to do is drag the guides to where I want them and then save that setup. Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

    You could record it as an Action.

    You are still good to go.  Like many others, I have used and loved GuideGuide for years.  It was one of the best Photoshop addons out there, and it is free.  If you have CS6, you can also use the Trevor Morris Demonzon Tools panel.  That is something I really miss because there isn't a CC version.
