I know that photoshop was probably not designed for this but....
I am trying to create a grid system, the grid system needs some guides to be positioned at 83.5 on the x axis, I currently cannot position the elements on anything but a whole number, is there a plugin or something that allows me to?

83.5 .. what? Pixels?
You've un-snap-to'd everything?
Are you able to double the resolution to achieve the same effect?
- agentfour0
83.5 pixels or mm?
- blastofv0
why would you need to bisect a pixel? if it's for the screen, then the pixel will show up as one color, not two colors on either side...?
what's the context?
- Nairn0
forget the doubling of resolution thing - you should just be able to do it. Of all programs, PShop is the one that SHOULD just allow you to achieve this!

don't split pixels man, they have feelings to, you know.

you could always make your grid up in paths in illustrator and copy and paste them into your photoshop doc

Sorry people, let me clarify:
I am creating a grid system for a web site, similar to the one seen here, I have done several sites with whole number grid systems, however, for this particular site, I need to create guides at .5 numbers, ie. new vertical guide postioned at 82.5, I supsect that photoshop cannot do this, illustrator can.... I may have to get pixel perfection there.
Thanks.

Oh. 'Grid' - not 'Guide'.
Do what Honest said. then...
..or, amend your grid rules!
- lw-d0
No probs.
Thanks.

Just set up yout grid in the preferenceesto reflect what you want, eg. gridline every 10px and subdivisions 20
Or am I missing something?
:D

yeah, gird systems. Not automated ones in photoshop.

Use 167 as grid, and do everything in 2x, resize 50% when you done
- craic_whore0
yea but you use the automated grid to place the guides to create your own grid, if you need half pixel increments you'll need to set up your grid accordingly.
