Is there a fast and easy way to make a custom size grid in photoshop elements 3.0?

I want to make a texture for use in designing sim plot layouts, and to best do this, would use a square grid of 4096 squares. (each block represents a 16m plot)

I know how to show the alignment grid, but is there an easy way to do this one? Don't wanna have to measure out and draw 128 lines.. bleh

Any help is greatly appreciated!

OK, new question. I figured out how to set my own parameters for the alignment grid.. now I've got the right number of squares on that, and I suppose it would make it easier to draw lines.. and I probably will end up doing that. However, is it possible to transpose the alignment grid onto the image permanently?

Made the grid needed by hand, all that fun stuff.

Made a Photoshop Document, and a targa.

Both are very large in size on-screen. Its 1814 pixels by 1814 pixels in its current state.

The .psd file has size templates for plot sizes doubling in size starting from 16m2 to 1/4 sim.

Each square on the grid represents 16m2 of land.

The thread containing the file is here:

I posted in the building forum because it seems more useful for builders than texturers.
