New to the forum and not that good with Photoshop tbh lol
Im trying to put a seagull flying in real time into a time lapse sequence, 25 photos and using it as 25 frames/sec time lapse looks amazing, but seagull is really jerky and fake looking when i try and do it by eye.
I use cs2 and tried to create a new guide that would go from top left corner to bottom left corner that i could just put on all the pics and have the bird follow that but it only comes up with the option of either vertical or horizontal. any way of making one diagonal?
I also know this would very easily be done in after effects or something but need to do it in Photoshop for my lesson lol

You can't do it with guides, but you can make a new layer and with the pen or pencil draw a diagonal line to act as a guide. Just delete the layer when you're done.

For a straight line: With the brush or pencil tool click on the spot where you want the line to start, then move to the end point, hold the shift key and click again.
