Is there a filter out there that makes a grid to go on top of art work that stays on the top of the art work when you save it? I know PS has a grid option but it can't be saved on the art work. Thanks for any help. BJ

You can easily make a grid with a pattern (see above for the 'source' document. Select all ->edit -> define pattern

Set the pattern layer to multiply.
Presto!
As they say in Italy. Or Spain. Dunno. (you can easily make your own pattern if you need a larger or smaller version)

There is a Grid.zip at bottom of page. There is no 'installer' included. Copy the included .8bs file to your plugins folder. This is a Selection plug-in, not a filter. It shows up in Photoshop as Select/Other/Grid. You can space the selection both vertically and horizontally then fill with any color.
