Using guides

Guides are nonprinting lines that appear over the image in the document window. They are very helpful in aligning image elements. You can place guides at any position in the document window and easily reposition and remove them. If you enable the Snap to Ruler Ticks option, the guides you create will land precisely on the tick marks. Each guide also has options that let you change its color and lock it so that it can’t be dragged.
