# New Guide

The New Guide… command adds a guide to the image.

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.

## Activating the Command

You can access this command from the main menu through Image Guides New Guide

## New Guide Options

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 New Guide Dialog

Direction

  You can choose the Direction of the guide, either Horizontal or Vertical, by using the drop-down list.
