The Layout Grid helps you compose images. This nonprinting grid is used primarily for composing artwork before you begin drawing or painting.
The Layout Grid also lets you divide the canvas into compositional sections based on the proportions of the canvas. You can also move the grid to a new position. You can adjust these settings while you work and save them as a preset for future drawings and paintings. From the Layout Grid panel, you can access grid settings, such as the number of divisions, size, angle, color, and opacity of the grid. For example, you can divide your canvas into thirds vertically and horizontally to use the compositional rule of thirds. The Layout Grid provides an easy way to divide your canvas so that you can plan your composition.
