Show Crop Grid
By checking the Show Crop Grid
Checkbox, a grid of nine equally-sized
rectangles will be superimposed over
the image within the crop rectangle.
The Crop Grid is designed to assist you
in cropping the image.
You can also choose to temporarily
superimpose this grid onto your image
by holding down the Alt key (Windows)
or the Option key (Mac OS) while you
are in the crop mode. Based on the
photographic "rule of thirds," the Crop
Grid helps guide your cropping so that
the main points of interest lie close to
the points where the four lines inter-
sect. It also draws your attention to the
natural horizontal or vertical lines in
the image, such as a horizon or a large
building, which often benefit from
being placed close to one of the four
lines.
