Creates a grid pattern. The size of each square of the grid is determined by the position of two points, which mark opposite corners of the central square. You can adjust the spacing and size of the grid lines.

  • Preset: Choose from one of the built-in grid presets.
  • Point 1: The top left corner of the square.
    • Position: Sets the location on the canvas of the top left corner of the central grid square
    • Use Layer: Select another layer from the timeline using this menu, to use the selected layer’s position to control the position of point 1. When a layer is selected, the Position property above functions as an offset from the parent layer’s position.
  • Point 2: The top left corner of the square.
    • Position: Sets the location on the canvas of the top left corner of the central grid square
    • Use Layer: Select another layer from the timeline using this menu, to use the selected layer’s position to control the position of point 2. When a layer is selected, the Position property above functions as an offset from the parent layer’s position.
  • Border Radius: Sets the thickness, in pixels, of the grid lines.
  • Feather: Adjust the softness of the edges of the grid lines.
    • Feather X: Applies a blur on the X axis (left to right), which adjusts the edge softness of the vertical lines.
    • Feather Y: Applies a blur on the y axis (top to bottom), which adjusts the edge softness of the horizontal lines.
  • Color: Choose a color for the grid lines. You can use the eyedropper to choose a color from the viewer, or click the swatch to open a color picker and choose any color you prefer. You can also manually enter the color values for the red, green, and blue channels.
  • Invert: Enabling this option inverts the effect, creating a grid of visible squares with transparent lines between them.
  • Blend: Controls how the effect is combined with the contents of the layer it is applied to.
