guides snap to center?

here's another one for you...
is there a shortcut to get a guide to snap to the center of a psd as you
drag it in from the side or top?
(i.e. hold something and drag)

 

CTRL+A (Select all) then ALT+S+T (Transform selection) then drag will work
as long as Snap is enabled.
If you have a layer that completely fills the file window and doesn't extend
past the edges, CTRL+T and drag will work.

Or you can select View > New Guide and enter 50% for each direction.

If there's another method, I would like to hear it too.

Just what I was looking for - thanks again, Peadge!
(though I do wonder if there is some way to have it snap in
as I drag from the ruler, but this is just as good...)

 

You can hold SHFT and have the guides snap to the little "ticks" on the
ruler. Something I just learned too is that you can ALT-drag a horizontal
guide from the sides or ALT-drag a vertical guide from the top, opposite
what is normally produced! This can come in handy if your tools are in the
way or something. CTRL+; hides and makes visible.

I found that alt trick looking for the other key shortcut... pretty cool
stuff.
Ya know, what I would really like now is a full printable list of all the
ps7 or cs key shortcuts...
there must be hundreds, and no way I can remember all of them!

I remember I got a big heavy tri-fold sheet of shortcuts with Photoshop, but
haven't been able to find it in over a year. But if you go to Help and
scroll down to the bottom of the left frame, there's links to Windows
Shortcuts and Mac Shortcuts. Maybe screen-printing and making a new sheet in
Photoshop might be worthwhile!

Long ago I made an action that places a guide at the 50% point
vertically and another at 50% horizontal. It's very easy and you will
never have the problem again. HINT: Change your units to percent before
making the action, then back to whatever you had before. That way it
will work on any size document.

 

Create New Guide - type in "50%" for one vertical and a horizontal.

smart... will do that next time I need it.

 

The action makes that easier and automatic.

I have looked for this before, but had not found a comprehensive,
print-format list like this
(there are so many sites with versions of lists or partial explanations) -
this is exactly what I was after...
thanks so much!

 

You're welcome ;-)
