need to print it – adjust the required settings. It is a time-saving method.
Apply the command to open the Set Image Print Resolution dialog where you can adjust

Note:
The settings adjusted only affect the image for printing, not the edited image.

Guides
Guides are auxiliary lines which are placed on the image for the following reasons:

dividing the image to composite parts.

This option is used when you need to align objects or layers, to arrange them in one line.

to snap the cursor to it or to divide the image.
