: Why are guides looking like this? I'm working on a file in photoshop and every time I drag a guide out I see multiple guides. How can I fix this so only one guide is present? I tried restarting

@Turnbaugh909

If you hide guides, then drag out a new guide, all guides are made visible. It appears as though you have merely drug out a few guides for the same area, then perhaps hid guides so you weren't aware they are still there.

Simply clear all the guides by choosing View > Clear Guides then drag out a new guide. You should only have one then.

It's a bit difficult to understand what is being asked here. If you are dragging one line and you end up with a bunch, it could be because:


You are hiding the guides, until you drag one and then it shows you all the previous ones (restarting the program won't do anything because the guides are saved in the file itself). SOLUTION: View > Show > Guides
Much less likely but just in case someone else actually has this problem: You might be low on RAM, so the guides are being drawn badly. Restarting should fix it, though.
