The new preset will show up in the drop down list.Īnd that’s all there is to using the Guide Layout feature in Photoshop CC. Name the preset and click the “Save” button. To save a custom preset, click on the “Preset” drop down and select “Save Preset”.Ī window will pop up for you to choose where the preset will be saved. For instance, I have a layout saved that adds guides to the edges and centers of the document. If you have a layout that you know you’ll need to use often, or even just more than once, you can save it as a preset. Negative values could also be used to send guides outside of the document bounds if needed. To add margins around the edges of the document, first select the Margin option to enable it, then enter the amount of space you want to add in each box for Top, Left, Bottom and Right. First check the “Rows” box, then add the number of rows, height and gutter. You can add rows in the same way as columns. If we don’t want them all on the left, we can center the columns to the middle of the document by checking the “Center Columns” box in the lower left. For instance if you need a document with 4 columns that each have 10 pixels of space between them, you can easily do that with the gutter spacing.īy default, Photoshop will create equally spaced columns, but you can set the width yourself by entering a value into the Width field. By default Photoshop sets a 20px gutter, but you can change this to anything you need it to be. The space between columns and rows is called the gutter. If you don’t see the updated layout while your entering values into the fields, make sure “Preview” is checked on the right. This is done by checking the little box in the lower right. You can add guides to the ones you already have in your document, or you can clear the existing guides and only add new ones. If you haven’t used this feature before, the box will be populated with the default settings of eight columns, each separated by a 20 px gutter. We can also add a gutter between the guides, and add margins along the outside of the document. We can specify an exact width for the columns or an exact height for the rows. Guide layouts allow us to easily add any number of rows and columns to our layout. Note that this is only available in Photoshop CC. To access the Guide Layout option, go up to the View menu at the top of the screen and choose New Guide Layout. Adobe has now incorporated that automatic feature right into the software. Previously, to create a guide layout like what I have here, we had to create them by manually by dragging all of the guides from the rulers, or by using add-ons like Gridify to create an automatic layout. In this article we are going to learn about the guide layout feature in Adobe Photoshop CC.
