I'm using PS CS3. I don't remember changing any settings, but all of a sudden when I open any Photoshop file, the "extras" (gridlines) are showing. I can hit the keyboard shortcut to turn it off, but I have to do that each time I open a file...which is pretty annoying. I looked through my preferences and can't seem to find anything that would cause this to happen. Any ideas on how I can make the extras stop showing on startup?
I realize this thread is old but I came across it because I was having the same problem in PS CS3 (which doesn't seem to have the CS4 icon referred to in the previous reply).
Unchecking 'View > Extras' also had not worked for me. The grid would still re-appear when subsequently opening an image.
In my case, what seemed to be forcing the grid to show up on every image load was that the 'View > Show > Grid' option was checked. Unchecking it resolved the problem for me.
So, recapping, to avoid the grid showing up when loading an image:
View > Show > (uncheck) Grid
I haven't checked but I'm guessing the same behaviour would apply to other 'Extras' set to show in the View > Show command while the Extras command is checked.
