Grids - the thing not to do with a thick head

Well that was a wonderful waste of half an hour of my life. I'm feeling a bit groggy today, cold related not drink - mores the pity. However this didn't stop me from wanting to make a new painting in Photoshop. This time I was going to make it more of a much more life like painting so I would need to lay a grid down over the source and the document I was going to paint on. After much faffing around go the two documents the same size and so was able to lay down a grid. Yes this was fine so now to label the grid with numbers across the top and letters down the side. Again no problem with the source document. Then I moved to the painting document and did the same. I was out by one line. After much head scratching, checking document sizes etc I still couldn't explain it. It just couldn't be happening to me!

Well it wasn't. I finally rechecked the letters down the side and found that I had missed one line - hence the discrepancy. I'm not sure how many choice anglo Saxon terms I muttered to and about myself as I corrected this. Something you really need when you you are still feeling the effects of a heavy cold. Happy Boxing Day!
