PS default units

One more question, sorry. :) In PhotoShop I need to see sizes in the Image size dialog box and ruler by default in cm or mm. Where do I change those settings?

File > Preferences

From there you'll find all the defaults and stuff like that. I think (not positive), but I think that there is an item in that list called "General". If you click that, it should bring up a new window with tabs for the different catgories. Such As: ruler units, grids, guides, that sort of thing.

You can set the measurements to do what you want in the info palette - which will "remember" the measurements in the Image Size and Canvas Size dialogs.

See pics below:

Once you set it in the "Info" palette, you should be golden.
