How to Create Custom Guides in GIMP (Angled & Shape Guides)

[@Sebastian-42-69]

Man, this is so smart! Every second I learn something new in this video, and I've used gimp for a long time now! Makes me think that the dude talking is really smart!

[@charleshacker765]

A very abstract but important lesson this time. Thanks!

[@HeyIFoundACamera]

This is one of the most helpful tips videos I've seen for GIMP. Thank you!

[@mrjape71]

Using this trick with perspective tool might be just what I've missed. 🤔 Gotta try it! Thanks once again Michael! 😎👍

[@MichaelBoyer213]

The second you mentioned paths I had "Well I'm stupid" moment. That makes so much sense... (I mean, not more than GIMP just having diagonal guides like Inkscape... >.>)

Off the page when creating items in 2 and 3 dimensional perspective. Very useful and thank you for sharing.

[@truth8806]

Is there a quick way (like a plugin) that helps make modular grids?

[@relhen30]

Thank you very much

Anyone know if you can create multiple guides at once? I want to do the rule of thirds, so I have to go several times in image, guide, 33.33% horizontal, again image, guide, 66.66% horizontal and two more times but with vertical

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Yes - you can create multiple guides simultaneously.

[@nollpa2696]

What I did was... I created a gimp image; 2000x2000 px., created the guides I use most often, and then saved it as an .xcf file. Then I can resize it and the guide percentages will stay intact.

[@suyog_kapileshwar]

I usually do a grid and map it to my requirements...

[@csalv]

Could you do something specific, such as a sports design?

[@hanee600]

thank you

[@1Virez]

my paths are broken the images won't snap to it

[@cosmo0080]

interesting, thanks

[@ellelephant]

Is there no basic tutorials on drawing straight lines

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Click on your composition with whatever paint tool you’re using to paint the first point, then hold the shift key to enter “Straight line mode.”

[@analogclubamsterdam]

........ so there's no simple way of saving a document with true guidelines as a template? I tried it and the guidelines don't appear in the new document

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

If you have the document as an XCF it should save the guides and guides’ placement as well.

[@Ferenc-Racz]

Im just thinking about why drawing a fucking line made gimp so co plicated I need to wath a tutorial about it... -.-

[@graphicalmentor2862]
