However, the shape and pixel size of the squares will be the same. ‘Pixel’ spacing will reflect the actual pixel size of the Reference image, so you may have a different number of squares across differently sized references and the main canvas. It can be toggled on and off using the global “Show Grid” option. The Reference image grid will use the same settings as the canvas. The grid will also appear on your reference images to act as a guideline for proportions. Will readjust dimensions if the canvas is cropped or expanded.

Will be a fixed size relative to the total canvas when the canvas is resized.You can divide the canvas into proportional segments or create columns and rows.Allow you to set the exact number of grid lines across and down the canvas.Squares will remain a fixed size if you change the canvas, so will shift position relative to your drawing.They may overlap the edge of the canvas.Will create squares based on an exact pixel measurement.They start from the top left corner by default unless you pick “Center Grid” (this affects whether they shift relative to your drawing when you crop or resize).

Both have sliders for changing the size, or the option to set a number between 4 and 200.These can be chosen via the drop down menu and will act differently when you crop and resize your canvas.

You have two different grid options: Pixels and Squares. The Color Sampler, Text and Fill tools do not use Snap To Grid. You can adjust the amount of smoothing to control how strong the effect is. Snap To Grid and Individual ToolsĪll painting and drawing tools will follow the lines, as will Selections and placement of objects using Transform.Īuto-smoothing (with the Ink Pen or Pencil tools) will smooth the lines out after they are drawn, allowing you to create even curves. If you wish to use the Grid purely as a reference tool, then this function is easily turned off again. This will let you create geometric designs, and borders, as well as use consistent measurements across your painting and plan out your composition and perspective. The Snap To Grid option will force your lines to follow the path of the grid lines.
