Issue: Photoshop doesn’t recognize preferred unit when making new guides

  • Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.4.0 20260218.r.15 6bd4063  x64 (final, Release)
  • Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Version: 10 10.0.19045.6466

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Edit → Preferences → Units & Rulers... → Units → Rulers → Inches
  2. View → Guides → New Guide...
  3. On Position, put 5.4 or 5.4”
  4. OK

Expected result: Photoshop should create a new guide on 5.4 inches

Actual result: Photoshop creates a new guide on 5.4px

What happens before: Before the update, it created a guide on 5.4 inches even if I simply put 5.4 or 5.4”

Temporary fix: I needed to put the inches unit for it to recognize, such that 5.4in

Hey, ​@hkse! Thanks for the detailed report. I can reproduce this as described. I've logged this for the team to review. Please use @Jeff Arola’s instructions to temporarily disable the new UI panel. 

 

Thanks!

In Photoshop go to Edit>Preferences>Technology Previews, uncheck Enable Modern User Interface, restart Photoshop and see if that corrects the issue with the New Guide dialog.
