CREATING A NEW FILE
To create a new file, click on the File → New option from the Menu bar. This will open the New
dialog box.
The New dialog box provides the following options:
Template: It represents image types that are
commonly useful. The template sets values for the
size, resolution, comments, etc.
Image Size: It specifies the width and height of the

When you click on Advanced Options, Create a New Image dialog box appears and you get
