Always looking to increase my level of productivity, I made a quick Photoshop Action that is based on the 960 Grid System. Instead of keeping track of a template file, I thought it would be easier to just make an action that would do the same thing.
The action creates a new file with (almost) the same dimensions as the 960gs templates. So, what are you waiting for? Download the action, install it in your Presets > Actions folder in Photoshop and load it.

Genius! Thank you
Well that’s 5mins of my life I’m getting back, cheers!
Very awesome, thanks for sharing!
Once I’ve installed it, how do you call it?
Thanks:)
Amazing, thanks a ton!
Once you install it, switch to Photoshop. Open your actions pane, on the actions menu, Load Action, browse to the newly installed action and click Load.
Awesome, thanks for this

Great. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ben,
Thanks for sharing this grid actions with the rest of us. Is there a way to the action prompt for canvas size? Your 1020×700, specially the height value, is rather short for the way I work. I tried to change the first “Make”, but found out that others steps are somehow related to the document size.
Best,
B.
Hey Bruno,
Glad you like it. I may take a look at something like this in the future. In the meantime, I suggest changing the canvas size after the action is finished running and just transforming the “Grid Overlay” layer to match your set height. I made them all on one layer so that it would be easy to adjust if needed. I’ll let you guys know if I update it.

Not sure if I ever thanked you for this… Thanks! Ha, LOL.
No really, very useful and not JUNK!
Who said that?! I’ll rip ‘em to shreds.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks for this, Ben.
