#Layer Guides Photoshop Extension

Layer Guides is a Photoshop extension for creating guides around a layer with one click instead of dragging and placing a guide exactly on the edge of the layer.

The extension places guides around a layer (top, right, bottom, and left sides) and also on its vertical or horizontal centers.

Installation

  1. If you installed an older version of this extension manually (by moving files inside your Photoshop folder) you need to remove it before installing an update.
  • To uninstall the old version you can delete the folder [Your Photoshop Folder]/Plug-ins/Panels/Layers Guide.
  1. Download the latest version of the extension and open it with Adobe Extension Manager.

  2. Restart Photoshop and make sure you show the panel by going to Windows/Extensions and clicking on Layer Guides if this isn't checked.

Usage

With a layer selected click on any of Layer Guides' buttons to create a guide.
