960 Grid Actions for Photoshop

Photoshop Action

Do you use a grid for your web designs? Do you use the 960 Grid System? Well if you do, I have provided a set of Photoshop actions for you to download.

These actions will create a Photoshop document ideal for laying websites out in 12, 10, 8, 6 and 4 columns.

Key Features of the Actions:

  • Creates a new Photoshop document from scratch.
  • Creates guides to determine grid columns and gutters with transparent layer to show gutter space
  • Creates Layer Groups for Header, Content, Footer and Backgrounds making it easier to lay your sites out in a orderly manner.
  • Compatible with Photoshop CS3 and higher
  • Works on Mac and PC

To install simply download the file below, then unzip and place the “j9s-960-columns.atn” into your Photoshop Actions folder. Open up Photoshop and navigate to your actions palette, select “Load Actions” from the palette options and enjoy.
