I made this Photoshop action to make designing one step faster and thought if it helps me so much, why not share with you! It is an action that with one click adds vertical and horizontal guides at 25%, 50%, and 75% to your design. We all know how tedious it is to add them one at a time. I know, it doesn’t really take that long, but hey, I am all for time-saving! I use it in conjunction with the GCU templates to police my margin allowances

Take care,
Betsy

P.S. Here is a link to a tutorial on installing and using actions if you aren’t familiar with the process. I love Aaron Nance’s tutorials at PHLEARN by the way!
The difference is made in the details!
