    Thanks for these great tutorials. I’m learning a lot. One question…how can I get the coordinates to show on my screen when pulling out a guideline or creating a shape?

      I’m glad you find the series useful. I think the coordinates are only in CS6. It is in Preferences / Interface / Show Transformation Values. Check if you can find it in your version of Photoshop.

        I think you are correct. I could not find this feature in CS5. Thanks!

    I have started to learn photo shop just a week ago with some professional (i would call it so called after watching ur video) I am interior designer and I need to work with layouts on Photoshop and would need to work with guides but my instructor would not tell me the smart ways to do it . After watching your video it all looks so simple and quick , That was very very helpful
