This is hugely annoying – I can’t quite imagine why Photoshop needs to have a ‘layer group nesting limit’? Maybe I need to reconsider the way I create my page comps…

Erm….ok. So the two-letter logos for all the products in Adobe Creative Suite 3 weren’t exactly imaginative but I don’t get this one either…it looks a little like a demented blue Pacman or a speech bubble maybe…neither of which has much to do with Photoshop. Also reminds me a little of the Open University logo… mmmm, glass with holes.

Good write-up from Brand New over here with comments covering everything, I just wrote – so, not an original thought but still valid I think.

Strange decision, strange logo. Also, where to next? Can we expect one of these for each of their vaguely web-related products…

When you drag a guide out from the ruler, holding down SHIFT forces the guide to snap to the ruler units – if you’re zoomed well in then they snap to pixels – which is perfect when you’re mocking up grid-based website layouts.

Hope that helped someone, it certainly helped me when I discovered it recently!

EDIT: You need to have View > Snap activated for this to work.
