### 6.23. New Guide

The New Guide command adds a guide to the image.

| Tip
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.

#### 6.23.1. Activate the Command

You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Guides → New Guide

#### 6.23.2. “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.
