Creating new images
The New command lets you create a blank image.
To create a new image: - Do one of the following:
- To base the image dimensions and resolution (Photoshop) on the Clipboard contents, choose File > New. If the Clipboard does not contain image data, the image dimensions and resolution are based on the last image you created.
- (Photoshop) To base the image size on the default dimensions and resolution or the last entered settings, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) when you choose File > New.
- If desired, type a name for the image, and set the width and height.
(Photoshop) To match the width and height of the new image to that of any open image, choose a filename from the bottom section of the Windows menu. - (Photoshop) Set the resolution and mode. For more information, see About image size and resolution and About color modes and models (Photoshop).
- Select an option for the contents of the background layer (Photoshop) or first layer (ImageReady) of the image:
- White to fill the background or first layer with white, the default background color.
- Background Color to fill the background or first layer with the current background color. (See Choosing foreground and background colors.)
- Transparent to make the first layer transparent, with no color values. The resulting document will have a single, transparent layer as its contents.
