decimate555 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hello… I've been using the "Perspective Tool" in place of the "Transform" feature that I use with Photoshop. While trying to skew and straighten images, I'm used to dragging in guides while the transform mode is active… However with Photo I'm finding that the perspective tool doesn't allow dragging in guides while active, I've been getting around this by predicting where I would want the guidelines before using the tool which is more work. It's very very convenient to just do this on the fly, as one doesn't have to cancel or apply just to go back to add in additional guides (or remove). I would assume this improvement would apply to the Mesh Warp tool also? What I'm asking, perhaps Photo overall should just allow guides to be placed onto the canvas even while certain tools are actively live.

coranda Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 A work around is to go to the View menu and select Guides Manager... It will let you add and move guides numerically without changing tools. It's not exactly what you want but it might be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decimate555 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 oooh, thank you Coranda… just tested as the workaround does work! But, Using the guides manager is not nearly as intuitive as just dragging it precisely where needed. Seeing the guides placed using the manager while the tool is active however does give me hope that it's possible this ability can be added after all in a later build. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
