ekeen4 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 By default, Affinity seems to have the Rule of Thirds and the Golden Spiral - is there a way to add or turn on a Phi grid overlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Make your own template, either use just horizontal/vertical rulers or draw the grid lines on a layer which you can enable/disable on demand etc. - You can then save the whole drawn grid then with a transparent background (PNG or GIF) and reuse it by overlaying and scaling to images.

toltec Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 As I understand it, Golden spiral is Phi. "Phidias (500 BC - 432 BC), a Greek sculptor and mathematician, studied phi and applied it to the design of sculptures for the Parthenon. Euclid proved that the diagonals of the regular pentagon cut each other in "extreme and mean ratio", now more commonly known as the golden ratio." If that is all Greek to you, and you want a simple grid, rather than the spiral, you will have to do as v_kyr suggests. Alfred 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
