Where do I find the ruler tool in Photoshop for iPad? I have tried everything and cannot find it. I need to measure and image on the canvas.

This is not exactly a ruler, but if you use a selection tool, you can get the dimensions of the selected area under layer properties.

The only things that pop up in the eye dropper tool is a circle is color in it , a box with a number in it and 3 dots. When you click on the 3 dot button it brings up sample layer All layers, current layer current and below. I don't see anything for a ruler.

The Eyedropper doesn't share its slot with other tools (yet).
