VanessaH Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I want to place the outline of a grid over a section of the image; something transparent - apart from the lines of the boxes - and scalable, in the manner of a MS Word table or a MS Excel worksheet. I tried a gridmaker plugin, but it insisted on covering the whole work area; which isn't what I want. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) 1. add new layer 2. adjust layer opacity in the layer properties (maybe set it to about 100-150) 3. select the section you wish the grid to cover 4. run the gridmaker plugin [EDIT:or the cellmaker plugin mentioned by EER] Edited August 8, 2011 by pdnnoob Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Another option might be CellMaker. I created it to easily create a grid within a given selection. I.e. if you want specifically sized cells, this plugin will fill your selection only with complete cells.
