While the plugin is excellent, Photoshop has been slow when using 3rd party plugins for me. On top of added slow, shelling out cash to get slow may be off putting. Such a great extension though that makes guides so easy! I'm torn! Pay $10 bucks to possibly go slower and get guides? Or figure something out and work around it?
Its no longer free? :/
Hi Samuel,
You can find a post about why I chose to start selling GuideGuide on my blog.
If you don't agree with the value I've chosen to put on my work (I understand everyone's perspective is different), you can use the code ”designernews” to take $3 off the price. The old versions are still available on the site as well.
Ahh I see. Completely understand and congrats on your new born baby :)
What are the perks of using GuideGuide, as opposed to, or in tandem with PS's "Guide Layout",
View > New Guide Layout ...
The biggest winner for me is using it with Artboards. Since I use many artboards in my designs - the 'Guide Layout' feature in Photoshop seems to just create the guides in the center of the canvas, instead of on the selected artboard that I'm on.
GuideGuide does what I want, which is creates the guides on the artboard you have currently selected.
That's fantastic! Thanks for the info.
I used to recommend GuideGuide to my colleagues. But I find the GuideGuide panel performs significantly slower ever since Adobe CC. So I replace it with Guide Layout in my workflow now.
I now hook Guide Layout with some Keyboard Maestro marcos, which is faster than selecting "Guide Layout" from menu.
It takes 5-7 seconds to be expanded from a collapsed panel, which is very annoying for a simple task indeed.
GuideGuide is THE best Photoshop extension I've ever used. Ugh, it's so great!
I'm trying to use Affinity Photo more, but I can guarantee the quality of GuideGuide though.
