How to Add Guides in Affinity Photo | Ruler & Column Guides

In this tutorial, I show you how to add guides to your documents, images, and compositions in Affinity Photo. I explain the two types of guides in Affinity, including Ruler Guides and Column Guides, and show you how to add each type of guide to your compositions. I also show you how to make precise adjustments to the positions of your guides using the Guides Manager, and how to add gutter spacing and margins while also explaining the "Spread Origin."

hi, it is possible to change the color of a guide ? for example if i am working on a blue image i prefer the guide to be in yellow to see it better ?

[@mtz3843]

does the ipad affinity have rulers? i seem to not be able to find it

[@imaginetattoossurat]

I have the same question 🙋‍♂️

[@easyislander]

How did you show the ruler? Mines don't show.

CMD or Ctrl R

One thing I don't understand - Affinity made an elaborate guide manager, but why the hell you can't just select a guide and then it be counted as an object so that you could use Transform panel to input its x or y value, like in Illustrator?
Doesn't really make sense
