How do I activate the automatic marks ?

Hi guys !

 

On my work photoshop, when I create a new file, whatever the dimensions, I have automatically the marks of the "security sides", sorry I'm not sure how to name that in english 😂

 

And it's not something I set up myself, I don't know how it got there but it's super useful, and I would like to put it on my other mac, but I can't find how to activate it anywhere, and the "marks" in the menu are deactivated and I don't know how to activate them either, can someone help by any chance ? 🥲

Some of the New Document presets have Safe Margins built in. I don't remember which ones exactly, but the ones in "Film & Video" category certainly do. And Photoshop remembers the last settings you used. So you likely used one of these presets in the past and Photoshop defaults to that when creating a new document. You'd just have to figure out which one you used previously on the work computer and create a new file with the same preset on the home computer to get things to match.
