Shift-drag a guide to snap it to the ruler tic marks.When the icon changes to a double headed arrow, click and drag to reposition the guide. To reposition a guide using the Move tool, position the Move tool directly on top of the guide.Here are some examples of the guides you can create: To reuse the guides in multiple images, save the guide options as a preset using the drop-down menu.

To change the Ruler’s point of origin (the zero point of the rulers), click and drag the box in the upper left corner of the rulers (where they meet) and reposition.To display the Units & Rulers preferences, double click in the ruler area.
