Not directly

:) Hello ! Welcome aboard !

• AFAIK, not directly via an option. Just a workaround :
1. Display the photo with the grid (must fit in the window, of course),
2. Alt+PrintScreen to copy in the clipboard
3. Edit >> Import Clipboard
4. Crop the image to keep the photo only,
5. Save it as i.e. "MumInLaw_grid.jpg"

• It's longer to explain than to do ;)

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Good and simple solution, Clo. :-)

A note: Screenshooting the image with gridlines works well for images that can be fully viewed in 100% Zoom, for larger images you will loose some quality - but this may not matter.
