How do you remove guides in Photoshop?

Question

In Adobe Photoshop (I'm currently using CS5), is it possible to remove the cyan-coloured guide lines? I'm talking about the ones added by `View > Guides.. >` [*horizontal/vertical guide choice*].I can't find it anywhere on Google nor this site!

Answer 1

Hey there,

There are a few options when answering this question.

First you must activate your guides

The quickest way to hide/show guides while in Photoshop is to use your quick keys.

For Mac:

Command + Semi Colon (;)

For Windows:

Control (CTRL) + Semi Colon (;)

Then you can do either of these actions:

----- While having the move tool activated grab one of the grid lines and drag it horizontally/vertically until it disappears off the workspace (This is the option where you would want handle each line separately)

OR

----- Under "View" dropdown menu you will see 'Clear guide lines' (This is the option you would use if you want to get rid of them all)
