                        CREATING A NEW FILE


                 To create a new file, click on the File → New option from the Menu bar. This will open the Create a

                 New Image dialog box.

                 The Create a New Image dialog box provides the following options:

                    Template: It allows you to select the predefined
                    templates for creating new images. These templates
                    could  include common sizes for web graphics, print
                    materials, and more.

                    Image  Size:  It  specifies  the  width  and  height  of  the
                    new document in pixels, centimeters, inches, points,
                    millimetres, etc.
                    Portrait/Landscape button: It toggles between
                    Portrait and  Landscape  mode.  This  exchanges  the
                    values for Width and Height.

                 When  you click on  Advanced  Options, the Create
                 a New Image dialog box appears and you get some
                 advanced options:

                    X and Y resolution: The values in the X resolution
                    and Y resolution fields relate mainly to printing.
                    The  values  represent  the  number  of  pixels  per
                    unit length in the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y)
                    directions. They usually determine physical size of
                    the image when it is printed.

                    Color space: You can create the new image in different
                    color modes (RGB or Grayscale).

                    Fill with: Selects the initial background colour of the
                    new document.
