Pixel Grid not showing on cc 2019

Just use another program. At this point they no longer deserve our money. Nothing works. I am in the latest version of 2024 and Just appalled by how much damage it does to my workflow. I am getting ready to go to grad school and this is such a waste of my time.

I recommend aesprite.

Hello, you need to have a GPU enabled, check in edit>preferences>performance

If you have only white, Background layer then try this:

• create blank new layer above the Background layer
• turn off visibility of white Background layer
• you can change grid size from Preferences > Transparency and Gamut > Grid Size and you can zoom in using zoom tool
• paint or do whatever you need to do
• you can create as many blank new layer as you want
• turn visibility of Background layer on/off  if you want to preview or check something
• if you want everything merged on a single layer you can merge layers or to flatten the image whenever you want but do not rush until you are done and everything checked.

Edit: Here is my understanding of your problem: you can not see pixel grid when you have white or very light background color because grid lines which appears above 500% zoom level are very light, is that the case? Another fix is to add color layer above background layer what will allow you to see pixel grid and to work on separate layers above colored layer which can be deleted later if you need white background for your project.

Here is screenshot of the same document with the same zoom level where the only difference is bgr color.

I believe the pixel grid should show when you zoom in to 500%+.  You can also display a grid over you image using menu View>Show>Grid or shortcut Ctrl+'  you set the size of the grid spacing in you Photoshop Preferences but that grid will not actually display a 1px with subdivisions. It more for showing a grid like a 100px grid or 1 inch grid. The menu item View>Show>Pixel Grid does not kick on till you zoom in to 500%.
