This Plugin ONLY workes with Photoshop 2021 or newer
Specs makes it easy to generate measurements (sizes, distances), guidelines and color samples. Everything is customizable in its appearance and most of the settings update in real time. You can measure in different Units like pixel, inch, millimeter and centimeter or display colors as hex code, RGB, CYMK or HSB. Since the fontsize and all other visual styles are adjustable, you can even use Specs for large print templates, not only designs that are for web-use.
Main Functions:

Measure Size: Add measurements for selected layers to indicate height and width
Measure Distance: Add measurements for the distances between two selected layers (or document edge)
Measure Custom: Auto-selects the ruler tool and let’s you draw a measurement
Guides from Layer: Renders guidelines along the edges of a layer
Draw Guideline: Place a guide and it gets drawn as a line
Sample Color: Take a color sample in various color modes
Layer/Document Info: List various properties (auto detects if it’s a shape, text or normal layer and shows relevant info)

Customizability:
Most settings will update the look in real-time without having to recreate the elements
