Making a 3 x 3 Grid

Salutations, 

I am a new user and well I'm doing my best to get accustomed to this and the learning curve. I'm currently trying to make a 3x3 grid with the black boarders. This is the project I'm currently working on, I have tried using the single row marquee tool and have been watching videos and nothing has been working. Still I must be paitent and well if anyone can give me the proiper insturctions it would be greatly appreciated.

In latest version of Photoshop CC,

1. Go to to File > New.  Create a new canvas that is 3000px X 3000px and 300 ppi.

2. Go to View > Show > Grid.

3. Go to View > Snap to > Grid.

4. Go to Edit > Preferences > Guides, Grid & Slices.

5. Change the Grid settings to a Grid Line every 1000 pixels and subdivisions 1.  Hit OK.

 

You should end up with something that looks like this.  To remove the appearance of Grid lines, hit Ctrl/Cmd + H.

This can be done in as few as two steps:

  1. Choose View > New Guide Layout, and set it to 3 columns by 3 rows.

     

  2. With the Line tool and/or Rectangle tool (the shape tools, not the marquee selection tools) set to a black stroke, draw along the guides.

This is a family-oriented, public forum.

 

I assume this is a Photoshop question.  Which version of Photoshop do you have?

What size is your canvas?
