You might decide to measure in inches for one project and centimeters for another.You might need to change the color of the guides because they're too much like the background in your photo. All these changes andmany more are made in the Preferences dialog box, which is now accessible under the Photoshop menu in the current Mac OS X version(in Windows, it's still accessed via the Edit menu). The General Preferences dialog box is shown in Figure 1.15.Figure 1.15. Set preferences here.Use the Next button to scroll through the Preferences dialog boxes.
