How can I draw a grid of n by n (for example...) 18 by 18) in a rectangle, I drew?

I drew a simple rectangle (square in fact), and I want to grid in squares of size.  How can I do this in photoshop?  I have access to CS 5.1.  Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris,

In fact, this can become a complex process. A simple a quick way to do this is to use the grid view in Photoshop.

Open your image and go to view > Show > grid.

If you need to sharpen the divisions and the dimensions of the grid, you can go to Photoshop > Preferences > Guides, grids, and slices. This will allow you to designate the size of the grid to align with the dimenstions of your image and the divisions you want to create. It can take a little tweaking and some math to get the divisions aligned exactly on your image. Alternatively, you can resize your image to align with the grid.

Then, take the line tool from the toolbar. If you don't, it could be hiding under another form tool - you can get it by clicking and holding the shape tool icon.

Now you can zoom in on your canvas and start "trace" on the lines of the grid on a new layer. As you click and drag the line tool, hold Shift on your keyboard to create perfectly straight lines. You can change the color and STROKE of the size of your line using the settings in the tool menu line at the top of your screen.

Once you are done with the tracing on the grid lines, go to the show > view > grid to disable the grid. Now, your image must have an evenly spaced grid 'placed' on it.

There is another method to add a grid on an image in which you create a template and superimposed directly on the image, but it's a little bit more complicated. The advantage of the method above is the grid that you created is a vector, which means that you can resize it if necessary, something the method works well for.

I hope this helped, if you have any questions or encounter problems with this method, thanks for posting here again.

Good luck!

    Web sites can specify whether browsers should be able to save the name of user and password (through the AutoComplete = "off" attribute in the login form in the html source code) and many banks and webmails choose for this probably to increase security.

    You can either install an addon or use a bookmarklet to work around this behavior.

  • How can I create a Lightbox with different thumbnail sizes. for example, landscape, portrait, etc.?

    Ideally, I would like the images on my site, because I put out them, to link to a lightbox if we click. However it does not seem that I am able to do this without using the lightbox widget and free shape thumbnails. Now, I know that I can create thumbnails of freeeform and position them where I like, but it is, they all change together and remain in the same proportions. This help me I have pictures portrait and landscape. I want the thumbnails to have identical heights but different widths.

    Greater functionality Muse would be the ability to connect any object to a viewer. Seems doable?

    Thanks for any help.

    The light meter example is pretty much what you want to do. It is located here:

    \National Instruments\\examples\Vision\2. Functions\Light Meter\Light meter Example.llb\Light meter Example.vi

    In the example, the x axis are the number of iteration, but it is easy to modify to use a graphic instead of a graph and chart the time instead.

    Hope that helps.

  • How can I customize the 'grid '.

    I want to make the grid simplified in different situations, for example, one with the grid lines showing all the 1/4 inch and the slightly heavier lines every inch. How to make choices like this to change the appearance of the grid. By default, the grid is too thin slices and what I need is a most basic page layout and then be able to add more later by adding lines of 1/8th of an inch but keeping heavier lines at intervals of 1 inch.

    Is there a way to make changes to the grid easily?

    TIA,

    Ken

    How can I get my serial number or IEMI number for me to make an appointment at a genius bar or get help online when my iPhone brand new completely deserted?

    The IMEI number is printed on the back of the phone, unless it's an iPhone 6. You can also find the serial number by eject the tray of the SIM card on the right side of the phone (insert a paper clip or similar object into the hole). It is in very small print at the bottom of the status bar.

    It should also be in the box the iPhone provided in if you bought Apple or an authorized dealer.
