Working with a grid (walkthrough):

1) Download working copy of the grid: Macro/Minutiae grid (300 dpi). Save it to a new folder on your network drive called "MACRO".

2) Open several images from your existing collection you wish to copy squares from. This is for practice only.

3) Ensure they are 300 DPI. (Fake resolution if you have to -- refer to the print handouts or video tutorials on mskalnay.com > Student Resources for help).

4) Select your CROP tool from the Photoshop toolbar and set the width and height to 2 inches and the resolution to 300 dpi.

5) Select various areas of your image to crop down to 2x2 inch squares.

6) Select All (CTRL + A) and then Edit > Copy.

7) Go to the grid photo and Edit > Paste.

8) RENAME THE LAYER IMMEDIATELY!

9) Use the Black Move Arrow from your Photoshop toolbar to move the square into position on the grid. Use the Snap command (View > Snap) to get the photos to align perfectly to the grid lines!

10) Repeat for the whole grid.

++++++++++++++++++++
