RyanSmith Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 In Photoshop, you can pull guides in from the rulers. This is really handy when I'm cutting up an image for HTML. Is there any way I can do this in Paint.NET or is there some kind of alternative that would allow me to do something similar? Thanks.

barkbark00 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 This is not an option in PdN. What I usually do is add a new layer and use the Grid plugin to render a grid pattern at the correct size and use that as the guide.

RyanSmith Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 The grid plugin looks like it will help, but it would be nice if the implemented this feature. I always found it to be one of the most useful in Photoshop. I guess it's about time I downloaded the source for PDN and actually wrote the plugin myself. There needs to be more time in the day.

Rick Brewster Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 This can't be done with a plugin. The main reason this hasn't been implemented yet is that guides are of limited use without snap-to functionality. Currently this would require every tool to implement the snapping functionality, which ends up being a fragile and taxing way to do things. I would much prefer to have this implemented at, say, the input layer, so that it is automatically handled by all tools. It just hasn't been done yet.
