nice tool.
I know you're still working on it. So it's kinda unfair to criticize. I'm not sure if you are planning this: but do you think it makes sense to move the grid or the image below?
I tried to match a square grid with a specific graphic element and it was difficult to find the perfect grid size to do that. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but i missed that feature.
keep up the good work
Hi! In principle, you can adjust the grid dimensions according to the image type to create a uniform scale. Maybe this isn’t very clear, and the presets should be more descriptive.
What you mention about having the option to move the image and the grid makes perfect sense for greater customization. Added in v0.3.1 patch. Thanks for the suggestion!
by changing the position X and Y, you can do what I was aiming for - I think it works pretty good.
if I missed that earlier (sorry): forget my suggestion.
if you added that after the comment: it's perfect.
