Grid Ruler

[eye]

OOOh I see but whatever happened to the natural way then you never make mistakes. That is why some look so neat and not out of place(using grids).

I put some grids out last spring in SHAPES..Circle grids too so we could make flower pedals line up at the right angles..

With SBM I have to use a ruler on the screen too like Fiona..But it scratches my screen.. I use the mouse guide to try to tell me if I'm lining things up soo soo..but still..rely on the old eyeballs..Not good..

LOVE the GRID idea!!

and a way to change the grids too..like the 9 square grid some folks use for embellishment placement on the intersecting lines..etc..

Now where was I when you put this out mmmm

I think the grid might be a good idea but to solve your lining up problem and fix it so you don't have to use a real ruler and scratch your screen. Check this virtual ruler out. We use this at our office. It has a 30 day free trial and is not real expensive if you buy it. Works great.

Along with a grid, it would be wonderful to have the functionality of stating exactly what size a photo is. I've just started digital scrapbooking (LOVE SBM!) but my family isn't convinced yet and I do not have a nice printer, so I'm only doing the layouts in SBM. This saves a lot of time and is very creative but in the end I need to trim the photos to a certain size. I've created a template with my favorite layouts with the photos as different standard sizes (my standards really and as close to the size I wanted as I could see on the screen) but would love to be able to just size an object whatever size I want. I put a lot of photos on one page so accuracy in trimming the photos is an issue.

Looking forward to purchasing a nice printer or finding a good printing service and convincing my family of the wonders of digital.

The site above has a great developer. I have had them done in the past. The color is great and the price is right and I am so amazed at the sizes of my pictures.They are 12 x 12 and all you have to do is slide them in your album.Preato.Perfect albums.

I would love to see a grid also. Also a grid when you are cropping in the box that pops up. So, is there a different way to mat photos so they all have the same size mat even if all the pictures are different sizes?
