Hello all, I have a question on how to use Photoshop Lightroom to draw lines on a reference photo before I print and laminate it. I want the horizontal line and vertical line on the reference photo to utilize my proportional divider for sketching my subject on the canvas.
Thx, Phil

Proportional dividers are great normally, but they are perfect for this. Don't have to hold it at a consistent arm's length or worry about whether I'm sitting closer to or farther from the subject. Whether drawing or painting to different scales or not, I always keep one side as my "clean" side and use it right on the reference photo.
Yep, it's great.
I would not laminate. I use a spray clear acrylic sealer. Works great. Use few coats let dry for a few minutes. I use the same process for giclee prints.
Proportional dividers are perfect for scaling from sketches or photos. Mask shows an old measuring trick using the dividers to transfer angles.
