Questions and Answers:
1. Can I activate my license on two computer
- Yes, activating on 2 computers will work.
2. If I buy this version do I get new updates/versions that come out?
- Yes, because you only need to buy it once.
3. Does it work with any version of Photoshop and Illustrator?
- Yes, that's what's so awesome that it works with any Photoshop version (tested from CS3 - CS6).
4. Does it work on Mac and Windows?
- Yes, no problem. It does not matter if you have a Mac or Windows today and then want to change (the serial number works for both) just make sure to deactivate before switching.
5. How much time will I save?
- When it comes to Photoshop there is no smart way of creating grid layout manually the only way is to measure and draw a guide and then do the entire process over countless of times (according to many graphic designers this drives them nuts). By the time a user has created one layout manually the user of our software will have had time to do tons of layouts.
6. Will the grid be exact in Photoshop and Illustrator?
- If comparing to InDesign where you can work with 3 decimal values it can never be that exact. As for example with Photoshop one is breaking pixels but it will be really close - as close that is possible but my best advice would is to try working with as whole pixels as possible. |

"There are a few grid calculators out there now but none
export to Photoshop or Illustrator as easily as this one." - Mark Dyer |
"I just wanted to compliment you on your fantastic work on the Grid Calculator Basic Edition.
I only purchased it this morning but already I can see how much time it will save me (created
five layouts in as many minutes). I have been following your releases for some time, because
I don't work in InDesign, this version is perfect for me (I work exclusively on the web and use
Photoshop for high-fidelity mockups)." - Rob Anderson |
