Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 7:40 pm

Making a grid in Photoshop is relatively easy, but it can take some time to get the hang of it. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Start by creating a new document.

This will help you have a separate container for your grid lines and artwork.

2. Select the Artboard tool (Mac: Option-A; Windows: Ctrl-A) and click on the empty area of your document.

3. From the Options bar, select the Gridlines option.

4. Click on the gridlines tool (Mac: Option-G; Windows: Ctrl-G) and start drawing your grid.

Be sure to snap the gridlines to the edge of the artboard.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that creating a grid in Photoshop can be a complex process, depending on the desired look and functionality of the grid. There are a number of tutorials and articles available online that can guide you through the process. However, we would caution against following any advice blindly, as some methods may result in an incorrect or undesirable outcome.

5. To change the size or spacing of the gridlines, use the drag handles to adjust the grid.

6. When you’re finished, you can save your document as a PNG or JPG file.

7. Tips for working with grids:

– When working with a grid, be sure to use the guidelines as a reference. The grid is designed to help you stay organized and accurate while you’re working.

– If you need to move an object that’s within the gridlines, be sure to use the Move tool (Mac: Option-M; Windows: Ctrl-M) and drag the object to the new location.

– If you need to modify the gridlines, use the Brush tool (Mac: B; Windows: Ctrl-B) to erase them.

– To change the color of a gridline, use the Fill tool (Mac: Option-F; Windows: Ctrl-F) and select the gridline you want to change. Then, use the color swatches to choose the color you want to use.
