Hi community.

 

I have set up my document 400x 400, but when I put the guides, and turn on the grid, its not perfectly symmetrical to the smaller pixels within the rectangles are of the grid, is there a way to get it all lined up perfectly? and the cavas since its 400 x 400, why is the last large rectangle with half sqaure, and the other half out the canvas?

Looks like that is what you get if you divide 400/72: 5,555555555555556

You could use a different Gridline Every and Subdivision.

And if the result has to be digital (web, video, image) why work in CMYK?

I would change it to RGB later on since the colour of what I want to do is black and white.

Good to hear that helped.

But I don't understand your "I would change it to RGB later on since the colour of what I want to do is black and white."

A CMYK black will become greyish when converted to RGB.
