Remove guide lines CS2

337 views10 repliesLast post: 1/26/2007
In CS I was able to remove a guide line by dragging the guide outside the image window and Command clicking. That isn't working for me in CS2.

Does that no longer work?

Can it still be done?

-thanks

Hi Diane

Don't you just need to drag it out of the image window? (At least that's the way it works for me.) I don't understand the reason for the Command click.

I just tried it. You have to hold the Command key before and during dragging.

I used the wrong word. I meant the image area (size of the document not including the space around it) instead of image window (the whole window).

Thanks Ramon, I just needed to drag it a bit further out and it's gone.

Welles,
I don't like the clutter of guides I don't need.They were sitting around in that space outside of my document buggin me.

Hey Ramón,

I must be missing something. If I drag a guide from the ruler margins, all I need to do is placed my cursor over the guide when the Move tool is active and the cursor turns into a form of two parallel lines with little perpendicular arrows, indicating that I can move the guide in either direction. Holding down the Option key turns the guide from vertical to horizontal (or vice-versa). I don't seem to need the Command key at all. ???

Key phrase: "When the Move tool is active." Holding down Command makes this so in other tools.

BTW, EZ way is View>Clear Guides. That can even be an action tied to a key command.

Use Command if you don't have the Move Tool selected. saves a step if you are painting or something.

Or as Ed Said. :)

Hi again, Diane,

I'm curious and obviously not understanding something. If I understand correctly you are using the Full Screen mode rather than individual windows for your image? Can't you just drag any guide back to the ruler to make it disappear?

Clear guide will remove all guides, but if you just want to remove 1 guide, you need to do this.

Welles, I'm using standard screen mode.

Scratch my previous. You can set Clear Guides as a Keyboard Shortcut under Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts.
