P: Ps 27.4 New Guide dialogue doesn't recognize set units in preferences (inches)

Hi ​All

We’ve fixed this issue in our latest release, Photoshop 27.11. Please update Photoshop to the latest version and let us know how it goes.

For more details about this release, please see the Photoshop 27.11 release announcement.

Hi ​@Liza36959030wjud,

Thanks for confirming that Preferences > Units & Rulers > Rulers is already set to Inches. This appears to match a known issue we’re tracking where the New Guide dialog can ignore the preferred ruler unit and interpret values as pixels instead.
 

As a workaround, please try going to:

• Preferences > Technology Previews > uncheck “Enable Modern User Interface”. Then restart Photoshop and test View > Guides > New Guide again.

• You can also continue entering the unit explicitly, for example, 2in instead of just 2, as a temporary workaround.

• Could you also test the latest Photoshop Beta 27.11, available from Creative Cloud Desktop > Apps > Beta, and let us know whether the New Guide dialog behaves correctly there?
   

If disabling Enable Modern User Interface resolves the issue for you as well, please let us know. I’ll merge your report with the existing thread so we can keep similar reports together. Once a fix becomes available, we’ll update that thread, and you and the other subscribed users will receive the update there.

Best,
Anshul Saini

In Edit > Preferences > Units and Rulers, in the Units section, make sure Rulers is set to inches.

When I try to make a new guide in Photoshop it shows up as pixels instead of inches so I have to type in “in”. This is a new issue. Any idea how to fix it? I have my rulers set in inches etc. Thanks!

After the last update in the office we are all having problems with setting origins of guides and creating them setting the measurement.

When you create a new guide even if you moved the origin the placement start anyway from the original “zero” point. Making impossible to create layouts and accureted placements of elements in a confortable way.

Thank you for the attention

why does not photoshop follow the new zero point when asking for a new vertical guide line. I have been searching for answeers and it seems as if that never was ment to work - but i have been working like that for years til now when updated system and photoshop, So I drag the zeropoint of the rulers to a new location of my document. That point is now zero on the rulers - but when I ask Photoshop to make a new vertical guideline 20 mm to the right from that point it makes it 20 mm from the beginning of document, the old zero-point. What am I doing wrong?
