Click on thumbnailed images to enlarge
Open a new image with these settings:
Width: 10 px
Height: 10 px
Resolution: 72 pixels/inch
Background: Transparent
2. With the rectangular selection tool make a selection like this one (leave a margin of 1 px all around the image):
Now go to Edit > Cut. Define the image as a pattern. This is done by going to Edit > Define pattern... A window requesting a name for the pattern will appear. Type whatever you want and click OK.
Okay, now what you have to do is open the image you want to apply those grids to.
Select all the image and go to Edit > Fill (in the same layer as the image) and select this properties:
To soften those grids go to Edit > Fade Fill and set the Opacity to 40% for example and the Mode to Overlay
Done! now you can experiment with different opacities and modes.
