Thanks for the input.

I've tried changing the colour, which helps a little. But the dots are 
still unusably faint I'm afraid. Oddly they're actually quite visible 
when the image is scaled down - but the more I magnify to allow more 
accurate positioning the fainter they appear.

Snap-to-grid doesn't seem to do a lot - but as the grid size isn't 
changeable, it would not be a whole lot of help.

The helplines do help to get rough alignment.
