CREATING A NEW FILE
                 Creating a new image in GIMP allows you to start with a blank canvas by defining its dimensions,
                 resolution, and background properties, providing a customizable workspace for your project.

                 Perform the following steps to create a new file:

                 Step 1  Click on File → New. The Create a New Image
                          dialog box will open.
                 Step 2  In the Create a New Image dialog box, enter
                          the desired Width and Height in pixels, inches,
                          or other units. You will get the following options:
                     ✶ Template: Represents image types that  are

                    commonly  useful. The template sets  values for the
                    size, resolution, comments, etc.
                                                                                    Create a New Image dialog box

                                                                   ✶ Colorspace: Choose the color mode for the new

                                                                   background color).

                                                                   ✶ Comment: You can write a descriptive comment
                                                                   here.  The text is attached to the  image as

                          will  open, ready for you to begin editing or designing.
