I was discussing with a friend of mine about how to automatically add a bleed guide to a document in photoshop. It would require being able to either add guides at 0%, 100% for horizontal and vertical and then expand the document size by 1/4" or to be able to add guides 1/8" from all edges.
Looking in Photoshop though, this looks to be impossible as you can't expand a canvas or add guides by a given distance from an edge.
Really it would be ideal to create an action where 4 guides can be placed 1/8" away from each edge.
I know, this could be easily created if the document size was the same as you could just work out where they need to be, but he uses different size documents and wants to create the bleed automatically.
I've searched Google but can't find anything. I can't believe this can't be done in Photoshop!
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers
