Applying Grid Paper

The Grid Paper effect adds a grid of horizontal lines, vertical lines, rectangles, or dots to an image.

Unlike the grid overlay, which is a transparent layer that floats as a reference above an image, Grid Paper becomes part of an image. It is best to apply Grid Paper to a blank canvas and then apply color to the canvas or layers.
