2. Go Select=>Color Range than choose a spot with the most mass (area) but not the whole picture, click okay.

3. Now, you must delete everything But the selected area you just selected, so hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I than hit Delete you can now Deselect, create a new layer and move it under the layer you are going to make the grid, fill that with black.
