grid size presets to be stored in
memory. Each one has a user-defineable
Width and Height (use the Infobars to
the right to change the values). These
grid sizes also refer to the image
sizes used in Animation sequences, so
you can have images of any size!

to an image and press the left mouse
button. You should then hear a ping.
