Adobe Photoshop Ruler Guides and Grids

2.To create a ruler guide, first choose view > show rulers to display the rulers along the top and left edges of the image window. Position your cursor in a ruler and then click and drag onto your image to create either a vertical or horizontal guide.

3.To reposition a ruler guide, select the Move tool, position your cursor on a guide, theb click and drag. The cursor changes to a bi-directional arrow when you pick up a guide.
