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.
