If you’re working with images in Photoshop, you may have noticed the pixel grid that appears on your image. This grid is composed of tiny square boxes that make up the pixels in your image. The pixel grid is Photoshop’s way of helping you see the individual pixels that make up your image.
While the pixel grid can be helpful in some situations, it can also be a hindrance if you’re trying to create a smooth, seamless image. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to get rid of the pixel grid and create a smoother image.
1. Change the View Mode
One way to get rid of the pixel grid is to simply change the view mode. By default, Photoshop displays images in the “Standard” view mode. However, there are other view modes available, such as “Full Screen” and “Print Size.” These view modes don’t show the pixel grid on your image.
To change the view mode, go to the “View” menu at the top of the screen and select one of the other options. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut keys Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, or Ctrl+3.
2. Use a Grid Overlay
Another way to get rid of the pixel grid is to use a grid overlay. A grid overlay is simply an image that has a regular grid pattern superimposed over it. When you use a grid overlay, the pixels in your image align with the squares in the overlay, making it appear as if there’s no pixel grid at all.
There are a few different ways to create a grid overlay:
- Create a New Layer:
The first way is to create a new layer and fill it with a solid color. Then, go to the “Filter” menu and select “Render,” followed by “Lines.” In the “Lines” dialog box, set the “Type” to “Grid” and adjust the other settings as desired. Click “OK” when you’re finished.
- Use a Pre-made Grid:
The second way is to use a pre-made grid image. There are many websites that offer free downloadable grids, such as this one from Spoon Graphics. Once you’ve downloaded a grid image, open it in Photoshop and go to Edit Define Pattern.
- Use Photoshop’s Grid Feature:
The third way is to use Photoshop’s built-in grid feature. To do this, go to Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid and check the “Show Grid” option.
