Anybody know of a program that can do this?

What I'd like is a photo editing program that can place a GRID over the pic, so that I can control how big the grid is and how thick the lines of the grid are.

You'ld think that this would be easy to find, but the only thing I've got that can do it is PAINT, and you have to draw on the grid... That sucks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You could insert a picture into Word, draw the type of graph you want, and then from the picture toolbar set the picture behind the graph

...then if you need to edit, hopefully it's small enough to get a screenshot to paste into an editor.

If that doesn't float your boat, I'd suggest download.com.

I normally use Adobe Photoshop 5.5 for that. If you want a normal and automatic grid, go to "View" and "Show Grid"; however, the squares are only 1/4 of an inch on each side. To make a grid of your own, you can drag guides from the ruler to wherever you want them...if you want to control the thickness: create a new layer, use the rectangle marquee to select each square, and go to "Edit" and click "Stroke".

I'm not entirely sure if you can download it from a site or not...
