This is soooo much easier than what my school teaches I wonder why they don’t just show us this way? Thank you!!

The auto crop marks is something I've been trying to figure out for quite some time, been doing it manually. I've learned so much from you! You're one of my three most favorite instructors - 1) Martin Perhiniak 2) Gareth David 3) Aaron Nace. God bless you all!

[@federicolacelli4480]

What version of Photoshop did you use? I have Photoshop CC 2017 0.0 and there is no bleed set up in the Print settings.

[@YesImaDesigner]

You have to work around it as I explained in the video you have to go > Image > Canvas size and extend the whole canvas size, make sure you thick the relative option, change to mm and type in 6mm Height and also 6mm Width.

[@AshrafulIslam-sz3ys]

thanks a-lot

[@tradebrah]

It does matter when there's no printer linked to it. It won't let me save the paper size settings to A3 so that I can add crop marks to an A4 letterhead because I hadn't got a "printer selected" haha. Dammit
