Reply To: [CS6) Column guide and layer …

The guides are associated with Layer 1.
But not only that layer they are a bit special.

You can see with by turning visibility off of Layer 1 then hide guides and the column guides will hide,
But the column guides will appear when you show guides or when Layer 1 is visible.
You can rename Layer 1 to be your text layer and and then you can sort of control the visibility of the column guides.
