The New Guide command adds a guide to the image. For more information about guides, see the glossary entry on Guides.

You can add guides to the image more quickly, but less accurately, by simply clicking and dragging guides from the image rulers and positioning them where you would like.

#### 9.21.1. Activate the Command

- You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Guides → New Guide

Figure 15.86. The “New Guide” Dialog

Direction ; Position

  When you select New Guide, a dialog opens, which allows you to set the Direction and Position, in pixels, of the new guide more precisely than by using click-and-drag. The Direction may be Horizontal or Vertical. The coordinate origin for the Position is the upper left corner of the canvas.
