4 Steps to make a grid collage in GIMP:
1. Create a new image.
Use File-New.
Enter a value for the initial width with 1350 px and height with 1350 px manually or
through the up and down arrows, then click OK.
2. Show the Grid.
Use View-Show Grid.
Use Edit-Preferences-Default Grid to configure the Grid.
3. Insert image.
Use File- Open As Layers to open an image. Click on the image, then click Open.
Use Tools-Transform Tools-Scale to resize the image.
Use Tools-Selection Tools-Rectangle Select.
Create a selection, drag your mouse over part of the image,
go to Edit- Copy, go to Edit-Paste and then use Layer-To New Layer.
Now you can delete the original image's layer.
4. Add Stroke/Borders on selection.
I will choose white for the foreground color.
Use Tools-Default Colors to reset the color to default and then use Tools-Swap Colors.
Right-click on your new layer/pasted layer then go to Alpha to Selection.
With the selection still active, use Edit-Stroke Selection.
Click “Stroke line” radio button and then click “Solid color” radio button.
I will set the Line width with 50 px. Click Stroke.
