: How can I force a guide to snap pixels whilst being dragged? When I drag my mouse through a ruler to create a new guide, I want this guide to move pixel by pixel so that when I leave

@Courtney577

What definitively worked for me was the following in Adobe Photoshop CS6:


Go to your menu bar and click on Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers.
Change Rulers's units to Pixels.
Now drag your guides while pressing Shift.




Enjoy!

Have you...


turned on snap to guides?
select a blank layer, so guides won't snap to anything else in the comp.
set your ruler measurement by right clicking on the ruler.
hold down shift + move your guide which snaps percisely to the ruler setting.


Also when you select View > New Guide and specify a vertical position does this snap correctly?

Sorry if this is duplicating previous suggestions.

You need to be at 500% zoom or higher and then hold Shift+Mouse Button to have your guides snap to the pixel grid.

Otherwise, by default it'll snap to:


every 2 pixels at greater than 100% zoom
every 5 pixels at 100% zoom
every 10 pixels at less than 100% zoom


However, if you set your grid to every pixel, then it should snap to the pixel at 100% zoom or greater, even if Snap to>Grid isn't enabled. At zooms less than 100%, you'll need Snap to>Grid as well as have the grid enabled.

But I usually just use the rectangular marquee to mark out the positions where I want my guides to snap to. This avoids having to zoom in or having to change my grid settings.

You can hold Shift while dragging., at least in Windows.
