Hi,

This is just my opinion, but why use a filter to achieve an effect that
can be done just as easy without it? Regardless, I don't know of any
filter or plug-in that will give you this effect. I answered your
question, in depth, the last time you posted complete with the image
files needed for the job. Once you have those images set to a pattern,
it is a simple matter of filling with the pattern. What could be more
simple? At any rate don't make things more complicated than they have to
be. :] Just because you see it allot doesn't necessarily mean it's a
filter; it could just be a simple technique.

All you have to do is set the grid.psd to a pattern... Open the
grid.psd, click edit >> define pattern >> give the pattern a name >>
click OK. The pattern is now defined for use in any image you like...
Just like a filter, consider this the installation.

To use it simply click on edit >> fill >> select pattern from the "Use"
dropdown >> Select the pattern you defined >> set any other options you
like >> click OK. Just like setting the options in a filter or plug-in.

You can download the grid.psd and view some examples of the grid pattern
in action at http://961.dns2go.com/grid/

HTH... Again,

Mike
