In addition to the image grid, GIMP also gives you a more flexible type of positioning aid: guides. These are horizontal or
vertical lines that you create by clicking on one of the rulers and dragging into the image. You can create as many guides as you
like, positioned whereever you like. To move a guide after you have created it, activate the Move tool in the Toolbox (or press
the M key), you can then click and drag a guide. To delete a guide, simply drag it outside the image. Holding down the Shift key,
you can move everything but a guide, using the guides as an effective alignment aid.

As with the grid, you can cause the pointer to snap to nearby guides, by toggling View → Snap to Guides in the image menu. If
you have a number of guides and they are making it difficult for you to judge the image properly, you can hide them by toggling
View → Show Guides. It is suggested that you only do this momentarily, otherwise you may get confused the next time you try
to create a guide and don’t see anything happening.

If it makes things easier for you, you can change the default behavior for guides in the
page of the
Preferences dialog. Disabling "Show guides" is probably a bad idea, though, for the reason just given.

Rendering a Grid
How can you create a grid that is actually part of the image? You can’t do this using the image grid: that is only an aid, and is
only visible on the monitor or in a screenshot. You can, however, use the
only visible on the monitor or in a screenshot. You can, however, use the
plugin to render a grid very similar to the image
grid. (Actually, the plugin has substantially more options.)
