Here's a question for the Photoshop experts.
What is the best way of making a precise grid?
I know there are grid options as a guide, but i need to add a grid into a composition so i wonder how can i do it.
Maybe using the line tool and some actions, but i imagine that would be tedious.
So, i expect your hints about it.
Thanks in advance.

To expand on that useless post.
decide how wide and tall you need your grid squares.
let's say 20 pixels by 20 pixels
Create a new doc at 20 x 20px with a white BG
now with the single horizontal line select on, select the top row and fill with desired grid color. Using the vertical select tool, do the same with the far left row.
now select all and choose Edit > Define pattern. Name it whatever you wish.
Now in your document you wish to have a grid in, select the layer to place the grid on, and select Edit > Fill and choose "pattern", select your pattern from the pop up list and hit return. TADAA!

My _minimal_ answer allows the original poster to both, explore and experiment with the application and, to make the help files a friend. 
Of course... he can just do what you said!

Seriously, Adobe's Help files are very vague and usually don't help out with specific tasks like this. If you're looking for a dictionary definition of what a tool or feature is Help is your buddy.
When someone post "How do you..." here they're looking for help, not "Edit > Define Pattern" That's too vague to be of any help.

The grid plug-in filter works great. Has one simple dialog box and presto. Doesn't anyone use it? I've had it since '97 or so. . . don't even remeber where on the web I found it. It's an 8k file.
I'll pass it on if anyone wants it.
