    Here's a good question, and I just assume ask before I create this in Photoshop.

    I basically want to create an action that creates a grid of sorts that is proportionate to a 4"x6" and/or 800x600 dimensions including 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and potentially smaller measurements.

    What I basically want is an easier way to keep my photo sizes proportionate when cropping them. I have a few different actions I use for photos and batch operations, but if I'm editing photos one by one, I want to see a grid over the top of them that I can see proportionate sizes. Once I've chosen the right crop size and cropped it, then I can use one of the other actions to get it down to 4x6 or whatever other size I'm using.

    Does this make sense? Kind of weird to describe.

    If I actually create an action for this, I hope to have it create multiple layers of the included crop sizes, with a layer mask that can be turned on and off to show only the possible cropped section.
