In Bridge > Crop > Grid, I want to see the grid lines but not so small as in the attached. Is there a way to increase the size of the grid squares? Thx.

Not true. Show the grid in regular Edit mode, adjust grid size, then switch to Crop mode and turn on the Grid in Overlay Style. The grid size is preserved.


Thanks very much for this, you seem to know something many of us don't.  (and apologies, I initially meant ACR, not Bridge). And yes, it is odd that this isn't accessible in the Crop mode

Bridge is an image browser (sophisticated!) not an editor. You can't crop in Bridge. Are you referring to Adobe Camera Raw perhaps? If so you can adjust the crop overlay in ACR by opening the crop tool, right click and then you may investigate the various options available. Hope that helps.

You are correct to certain extend.

 

From his screen shot I was able to see he was using ACR via Bridge.

 

R-Click shortcut does indeed provide on options in ACR  It gives options for various types of cropping.

 

What it does not allow you to do is resize the grid spacing which is what was the subjeect of his request.

I agree that you can't adjust the grid size itself, but some of the options under "Overlay Style" such as "Thirds", "Centre", "Golden Ration" give a much larger grid which the OP may find useful.

No there is not.

 

Wish there was.
