Setting up the grid

The grid is a series of non-printing intersecting lines that are superimposed on an image to help you align and position objects accurately. You can display or hide the grid at any time.

You can have objects and editable areas align automatically with the gridlines. You can customize the look of the grid by changing the grid display and grid spacing. The grid display allows you to change the grid lines to dots or change the grid color. The spacing allows you to set the distance between the grid lines. The spacing options are based on the unit of measure for the ruler. For example, if the ruler unit of measure is set to inches, the spacing options are based on inches.

If the ruler unit of measure is set to pixels, you have additional options for customizing the look of the grid. For the pixel grid, you can specify the color and opacity of the grid.

For more precise pixel editing at maximum zoom level, you can display a grid around each pixel.
