I'm trying to create a new guide line in Photoshop CC (2017).

I've changed my 0,0 point in the file to be at the corner of a particular layer (so no longer at 0,0--or the upper left of the image).

When I click "new guide" and put in a value (like 3 in), the new guide will appear as if I had never moved the 0,0 point. It will show the guide if I kept the 0,0 point at the default upper left hand corner of the file.

I've never run into this problem before. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

  • The grid and origin are not linked with the placement of guides. What I suggest you do is use the grid feature in Photoshop which is linked to the placement of the origin. You can then snap guides to the grid if you want, then hide the grid perhaps.

I don't know if it is by design or an error. Photoshop CC2017/Mac here.

The New Guide menu item always uses the canvas or artboard boundaries at 0,0.

The New Guide command does not care, or read, where the origin for guides may have been moved to in any instance.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I think it's failure on the software.
