Rule of Thirds
Description from store

The is a simple extension to apply a 3 x 3 grid over any images found on a web page which are larger than 100px x 50px. The purpose of the grid is to help photographers visualise the Rule of Thirds.

By displaying the grid over the image it is very simple to identify if a photograph's main focal points comply with the Rule of Thirds or not.

any chance you can add support for local files, ie images dragged into the browser "file://" ?

I'm telling my photography students about this! These students are just learning to "see" the rule of thirds (and other elements) so they still very much need guidance like this. However, they simply aren't going to spend the time to save images posted in their group discussions and apply the thirds lines to the photos using another program or tool. This is something they can utilize right there on the discussion page without any extra steps, which means they'll actually use it.

But black and white glow lines could be better. I am using it to learn drawing.

Программа хорошая и очень, как мне кажется, редкая. Хочу попросить, Творца или Творцов, сделать "Hot key" и настройку цветов линий. Спасибо.

This is excellent, but should remove the red circles at the intersections.
