Setting up the rulers

The on-screen rulers provide a visual reference to help you size and position images, objects, and editable areas. You can show or hide the rulers at any time. In addition, you can show and hide the rulers for Desktop mode and Tablet mode independently to suit your workflow. By default, the rulers are displayed in Desktop mode and hidden when you switch to Tablet mode.

As you move the pointer in the image window, marks on the rulers indicate its position. You can also customize the rulers’ zero mark position and specify a unit of measure for the current document.

You can move the rulers anywhere in the image window; however, by default they appear along the top and left sides of the image window. Calibrating the rulers ensures the distances on the screen match real-world distances.
