1️⃣ Describe the feature
Desired Feature:
- Add ability to show grid lines during crop, rotation, or always.
- Grid lines should at least be evenly spaced, but other possibilities such as thirds, would allow for quick image/subject framing
Value added:
- It would be easier to align an image if an issue like arbitrary rotation (https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/issues/2347) is supported.
- A grid would allow for quick determination if an image is aligned to begin with, and additional grid configuration support would allow for quicker cropping to frame image subject as desired.
2️⃣ How to use feature
Alternative 1:
- User selects crop function from toolbar or menu
- Tool presents grid checkbox if only one option (on/off) or a selection dropdown if multiple options (off, 3/4/5 lines, thirds, etc.) are availabe.
Alternative 2:
- User selects Menu, then Layout OR Image
- Grid submenu is available with either
-
- Enable grid (off, on), OR
-
- Enable grid (off, 3, 4, 5 lines, thirds, etc.)

Research direction
Start by locating the crop and rotation UI and the image-rendering path used by ImageGlass. Compare the proposed toolbar/menu alternatives and determine how evenly spaced or rule-of-thirds grids should behave during cropping, rotation, and optional always-on display. Done means the selected grid is visible and aligned in the requested workflows without disrupting image manipulation.
