If you hide guides, then drag out a new guide, all guides are made visible. It appears as though you have merely drug out a few guides for the same area, then perhaps hid guides so you weren't aware they are still there.
Simply clear all the guides by choosing View > Clear Guides then drag out a new guide. You should only have one then.

It's a bit difficult to understand what is being asked here. If you are dragging one line and you end up with a bunch, it could be because:
You are hiding the guides, until you drag one and then it shows you all the previous ones (restarting the program won't do anything because the guides are saved in the file itself). SOLUTION: View > Show > Guides

Using the Lens Flare filter is a pretty simple way to make a lens flare.
Filters > Render > Lens Flare
But in order to get a look more like the one you provided, I used to lens flare filter and made sure the brightness was set pretty low (around 75%) to make sure there isn't a lot of blur that could disrupt the next step.
Next, I just used the smudge tool ...

just color them differently: darker to lighter. LIghter being at top.

I have a very simple method for this kind of work.
If your layers are aligned correctly in group, just convert this group to a smart object, open Smart Object and will have the pixel perfect margins.

I would use Bridge to make a PDF Contact Sheet:
To do this in Bridge, go to Window → Workspace → Output
You can specify the output size as well as the number of columns and rows. Whether or not it will be able to process a 20k x 10k pixel output remains to be seen I suppose, I've certainly never tried something of that magnitude.
Alright, so I just ...

Make a rectangular shape of the total size of your line (e.g. 1px by 600px). Set fill to 0%. Double click the layer to access the layer styles. Add gradient overlay. Edit gradient to go from 0% black to 50% black to 90% black.

The reason that behaviour takes place is that you have constructed your layer shapes in the wrong way or you copied and pasted from another program like Illustrator and something went wrong with the shapes in that process.
I opened your file and discovered you have paths on your shape layers that are useless, they just sit on top of your shapes (on the same ...

My question:
Can I create a magazine exclusively using PhotoShop?
YES you can, BUT this is not the industry standard and it is highly frowned upon. See last paragraph.
My understanding:
It should simply be a case of using CMYK and an adequately high
resolution.
The standard is 300dpi for print, but again, that depends on the medium, ...

No, you cannot design in the normal sense of the word design a magazine or any book for that matter in photoshop alone.
Photoshop alone has no way to do multipage layouts so at the very least you're going to need Photoshop, Distiller and Acrobat Pro to make the final print ready .PDF file.
You would be far better off learning at least the basics of ...

Yes, Photoshop could be used to design a magazine. But, so could MSPaint. This is absolutely a job suited for InDesign.
InDesign has much better tools for typesetting. If I didn't have InDesign available to me, I'd probably even use word processing software to lay everything out instead of going with Photoshop. It's definitely not the tool for the job.

The heart and the "right lung" layers are linked together. This is indicated by the little chain icon on the right of the layers. Select both of them, right click, and select Unlink Layers

There are two types of anchors - corner anchors and smooth anchors.
Smooth anchors always have symmetrical bezier handles.
Command-click-dragging with the Pen Tool on a smooth anchor moves both its' Bezier handles in unison.
Option-click-dragging with the Pen Tool on a smooth anchor handle, and you convert the smooth anchor to a corner anchor.

I guess that making a path copy of the heart, enlarging it and just working out your shape from that path might work.

In a nutshell, you duplicate the exiting path, delete what you don't want, then add what you do want to the duplicate.
Use the Direct Selection Tool (the white arrow) and hold down the Option/Alt key to drag a copy of the path to a new area.
Now, use the Pen Tool and click on the path to place new anchors where you want to cut the path. Basically, make ...

Check this amazing tutorial Alternative Drop Shadow Effects in Photoshop on YouTube. I believe you can make something very similar after watching this.

This is a common question but usually for code. To create this in Photoshop:
New layer in Photoshop
Draw rectangle slightly smaller below
Fill with black
Filter>Gaussian Blur
radius around 5-7 pixels, play with the settings

Drop opacity around 20%

It is very likely that the person used a 3D software tool or the rudimentary 3D tools in Photoshop to create the shadow.
However, this particular example can be made by duplicating the blue shape layer, creating a drop shadow on the duplicate, setting the fill to 0%, rendering the layer, and using the warp tool to adjust the shadow shape. The shadow layer ...

The image you've given looks like it has a black line that has an opacity filter set against it so that it partly shows. You could create this by carefully aligning a curved line with the bottom of the button.

I think the tool you're looking for is the Trim tool. as Scott mentioned in his comment, you would go to Image >> Trim >> Transparent Pixels. This will give you an exact crop.
This answer may be of use to you as well.

Make an action of your current workflow.
To be more specific, make an action like this:
Delete mask from your current layer ( Make sure to have your layer selected when you do this. If you have your mask selected you'd always have to select the mask when running the action )
Make a new Layer mask ( Make sure you have selection before you click it )

You can either spend a long time in Photoshop mashing the face around into a front on image (which will never be perfect unless your one hell of a digital artist) or find another set of images and start fresh
But by far the best way to do it (which is how I was taught) was to take photo's ourselves, you get all the angles references etc... you need and if ...

Highlight Layer X and Group it (Command/Ctrl-g), apply the mask to the Group folder by clicking the mask icon at the bottom of the Layer Panel.
You can then leave things as they are.. or move the mask to the layer replacing the existing mask.
If you simply want to replace the existing mask, highlight the mask thumbnail then hit these keys in this ...

instead of adding an adjustment layer, select the layer you want than go to IMAGE --> Adjustments --> Invert. This will invert only the selected layer.

There was a plugin, years ago, called Parian that claimed to render Farsi text correctly. From what I can tell, it hasn't been updated in a very long time and there's not much chance it would work in any version later than Photoshop 7. I don't know of one that's current.
On the brighter side, there should be OpenType fonts able to form words correctly in ...

Simply open the gif image rather than importing it as a video.
There was an issue with Photoshop CS3 which required the user to import an animated gif as a video, however that issue has been addressed by Adobe since the release of the Creative Suite 4.

Since you presumably have a bunch of devs handy, perhaps you can persuade someone to get into the Photoshop DOM and write some custom javascript. I don't think it would be too complex, and it certainly isn't impossible.
An alternative approach, if I understand your workflow correctly (a single master AI file that drives all of the PSDs), would be to set up ...

You could simply use one smart object within Photoshop.
For example:
Set up your Illustrator file will all the buttons:
Open the Photoshop file and simply choose File > Place and place the Illustrator file (as a Smart Object):
Now you can mask out portions you do not need and duplicate, reposition, and scale the Smart Object as often as needed:

Why jump to Photoshop to do the layout? If you're creating the art in Illustrator to begin with, stick with Illy. It's much more fit to the task. You can place your art as links or just maintain your styles all in one doc (presuming your application isn't too large).
A [painful] work-around to make Photoshop do unnatural things is variables. You would only ...

In the Save for Web use PNG24 not PNG8.

Johannes' comment was correct. You simply need a mask to hide the text outside the rounded rectangle.
I'm merely using your posted gif as a base. The actual Photoshop document will most likely be set up differently, but this is the basic item you need.
Highlight all but the bottom layer in the Layers Panel and group those layers (Layer > Group Layers).

One easy way is to set up two layer comps. One for export and one for presentation/designing. Then you can just toggle between them.
Another little trick is is to put everything that needs to be sliced/exported in a smart object. Open the smart object and do the slices within it. This way you can have multiple slice sets in one document and they won't ...

The reason PhotoShop is still predominant in the industry is a bit history, a bit big-business, and a bit about laziness/stubborness.
At one time, 'web design firms' were mainly traditional graphic design/print design firms and ad agencies. Creative staff were primarily print design folks who happened to know PhotoShop. Hence any 'design' they did tended ...

For me is quite a simple thing to click on the eye icon to hide it lol. IF I know I'm not gonna use it, I just hide it from the begining, and I use the rulers to measure the space. Anyways, this is maybe what you gotta look for, scripting in photoshop: LINK

Simply painting on a layer above the greyscale image and setting the layer blend mode to "Color" will maintain the tonal value of the image while changing the color.
For example:
Another method is to simply paint the color you wish on a normal layer and then place your greyscale image above that layer and set the Greyscale layer blend mode to "Multiply" ...

I think you can get a better understanding of the role of graphic design software in web design if you take a closer look at the service process of a professional agency. First of all, there are usually multiple experts involved. Responsibility for design and code is usually separated and every expert has its own specialized tools.

Anymore, Photoshop, Illustrator, et. al. are used for supporting web assets and not for full page/site mock ups.
Yes, there are some people who still build entire page mockup using Photoshop. And in reality if a site is very custom-image based then it may be necessary. But there's traditionally no slicing taking place anymore.
There are also developers ...

You're mostly right in your assumptions.
Some would say that Photoshop is the way to go in Web Design while others may argue it's simply a means to an end.
Fact of the matter is, mocking-up websites is much faster in Photoshop than it is by writing HTML & CSS by hand. It's much easier to play around with and changing a variety of designs using ...

I'd say: Unless you are a graphic designer focused in web - but you mention you come from programming so this is not the case-, if you are going to do web development, know your code first.
I believe you have to, because you are designing for it. I come from digital design, so to say, so I struggle a little with code (JS -.-), but from the start I had to ...

A Photoshop mockup is used as a guide and goal as well. You can't show interactivity with it, but it gives somewhat of a checkpoint to use your imagination.
It is easier to put down what you have in mind when you can so it in 10 seconds (rather than think about 20 limits and take 10 mins and end up using a lot more mental stamina).
In fact, the only ...

I personnally use illustrator more (even though I started with photoshop).

I guess the only option then is to go to Edit -> Transform -> Scale and drag the corners until both the object's horizontal and vertical edges are completely straight. Then you can set the width and height to 100% and the object should be back to normal.
Although there is no button for resetting warp transformations, you could create one.
Just go to Window ...

I think there are 2 questions here...
1 : Yes you can create scalable brushes in Photoshop within the "Brush" pallet.
2 : All raster images will blur when scaled to a size bigger than they were created at. If you want to ensure this does not happen you are best to create your image as a vector graphic in an application such as Illustrator.
Hope this ...

You need to use the Displacement Map filter.

The solution which I found works well is to write a script for Photoshop that saves a png version on save.
When saving as a PSD, have a PNG also saved automatically

No.
Layered PNGs are proprietary to Fireworks.
You could always save the layered PNGs as PSDs for Photoshop though.
