Not directly, as far as I can tell.

One could move/copy the one image into the one with the guides and save as a new document or one could use a Script to read the guides info in one document and create the guides anew in the other, I guess.

I want to know how to specify a guide position AFTER changing the origin.  I have moved zero, yet every time I drag or specify a guide, it shows or places in the reference to the original origin.  NOT what I expected!  CS6.

That bugs me, too. Thankfully, the X,Y coords in the Info Panel are relative to the rulers origin, but having to watch that defeats the purpose of the pointer coords display.

Other problems with coords...

The pointer coords display doesn't show when dragging the origin.

"View > Snap To > Layers" and "View > Snap To > Document Bounds" are ineffective when dragging the origin

"View > Snap To > Layers" is ineffective when dragging guides.

For some objects being dragged, the Info Panel coords will go blank when the pointer goes off the canvas.

When a transformation pivot is being dragged, the Info Panel coords do not update. The pointer coords display does update, but as noted above, that does not honour a non-default origin.

(Note to self: stop whatever I'm doing and report these problems as soon as they're noticed.)

What is needed is the same functionality provided in Fireworks. There you just need to click on a guide and it tells you where it is. You change the value in the box and the guide moves to that position. When you zoom in or out it stays there. If you change the position of the ruler, then you should expect the guides to read differently.

In this program it seems unsafe to click anywhere without fouling something up.

PNG is an image format, not a document format. It cannot store guides. Save the document as a Photoshop PSD (or PSB) to maintain guides.

Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.

The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.

The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

I can save guides in PNG images using Photoshop CS5 on my Mac.  I can save, close the file and reopen and the guides are there.  I cannot do this on the PC version of PS CS5.  I confirmed the PC version of Photoshop must be stripping guide information out since the same file I saved on the Mac (which has guides visible when reopened) does not have them when opened on a PC.

Is there a way to move the grid? I've got the correct spacing, but where I want to place some buttons, the grid is too high. I suppose I could subdivide further, but being able to anchor the 0 point on the grid would be useful.
