using grid on gimp

[cabrio531]

Hi,

I am trying to make 10 cm and 20 cm horizontal and vertical lines on a photo.  In other word, trying to divide a photo into thirds. Can someone help?  Thanks.

Ellen

Hi Ellen,
You can select 'cm' as the unit in the grid configuration dialog.
whether this does exactly the right thing is something you'll have to
check yourself.
(personally, I would look at the pixel width and height, and divide
them by 3. I'm not used to working in cm.)

The grid configuration dialog is found in the Image menu
(Image->Configure Grid).

I wrote a Script-fu a while back which will create a 3x3 grid layer  
based upon the dimensions of either the current layer or the image.  
The grid is created on a new layer so you can remove it or hide as  
necessary.

The command is added to the menus under "Filters->Render-Pattern->Rule  
of thirds grid" and the code for the script is located at the  
following URL:

Does Filters->Web->Slice help?
