Jon, I have never used them but I think they are for lineing your images up, if you want them even. Not sure but that is how I would use them

Hi, Jon -

Guides are great for setting up a layout or creating crop parameters -

for example, to create a "Rule of Thirds" setup, run the create guides action and enter 33% horizontal, then run it again and enter 66% horizontal, then run it again and enter 33% vertical and again with 66% vertical (be sure to enter the "%" sign or else it'll default to pixels) - - there's your rule of thirds guides!

If you want to set up a frame guide for creating a frame or a crop, enter something like 5% & 95% both horizontal & vertical (I prefer percentages rather than actual pixel or inch dimensions, but you can use "px" for pixels or "in" for inches - for example, to create a guide 1 inch from the left side, enter "1 in" with vertical checked; to create a guideline 50 pixels from the top, enter "50 px" with horizontal checked, etc.)

Of course to remove all guides, just run the "Clear Guides" action, and *poof!* - they're gone!

Hope that helps!

Graffi:
Would you please post your incredible beautifullllll B&W image "Thousand Islands Sun Set" For the spiritual enrichment of all of us. THANK YOU.

"Thousand Islands Sun Set" - - I don't think that's me - I looked, and I don't think I have an image called that!

I did google it, though -

I just wanted to say thank you to Graffi and let everyone know he is one of the nicest and helpful person you could ever deal with. I downloaded some of his actions, and I'm always screwing up when it comes to downloads, totally my fault that I couldn't get them to download, I emailed Graffi and he promptly emailed me back with the answer I needed to download correctly, as usual I was doing it wrong. My problem was I was trying to make something complicated out of something simple. I recommend his site to anyone wanting useful helpful actions.
