❖

•

Choose File

  > Close to close the active window.

Click the Close button

 

 on the title bar of the active window.

In Full Edit, rulers, grids, and guides help you position items (such as selections, layers, and shapes) precisely across 
the width or length of an image. In Quick Fix, only guides and grids are available.

When visible, rulers appear along the top and left side of the active window. Markers in the ruler display the pointer’s 
position when you move it. Changing the ruler origin (the 0, 0 mark on the top and left rulers) lets you measure from 
a specific point on the image. The ruler origin also determines the grid’s point of origin.

Use the View menu to show or hide the rulers (Full Edit only), the grid, or guide. The View menu also helps you to 
enable or disable the snapping of items to the grid or guide.

❖

In Full Edit, do one of the following:

•

To change the rulers’ zero origin, position the pointer over the intersection of the rulers in the upper-left corner of 
the window, and drag diagonally down onto the image. A set of cross hairs appears, marking the new origin on the 
rulers. The new zero origin will be set where you release the mouse button.

•

To change the rulers’ settings, double-click a rule, or choose Photoshop

For Rulers, choose a unit of measurement. For Column size, enter values for Width and Gutter. Click

and Canvas Size commands also use this setting.
