Frequently asked questions

Why turn on grids and rulers?

They keep type, logos, and photos aligned instead of placing everything by eye.

Can I snap objects to the grid?

Yes. Zoom in and use guides or rulers when a few pixels of misalignment would show in print.

Does zooming in reduce image quality?

Zoom is for viewing. Vector shapes stay sharp; raster layers keep their pixel size.

When do grids matter most?

Logos, business cards, and print layouts where edges and margins need to line up.
