To write an action for PS which will overlay your images with guides on Golden Ratio proportions:

1 - Go to: Edit/Preferences/Units and Rulers and make sure that next to Rulers it says Percent, Type says Pixels. Then OK it [pic 1.]

2 - Open up a New image file from: File/New - doesn't matter what I just opened a blank white one here.

3 - Locate your actions palette and click on it to make it active. Then click on the triangle up in the top right corner and choose: New Action. [Pic 2]

4 - Name your action - here I called it Golden Ratio Guides, then click Record. [pic 3]

5 - Go to: View/New Guide and click [pic 4]

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
