Hello guys I am and in this beginner tutorial on Photoshop I am going to show you how to create a new document in Photoshop CS6. Last time I discussed about the which is a recommended tutorial for all the Photoshop users. In this article bascially I am going to discuss about creating a new document in Photoshop and will also explain all the options that we generally see when we are creating a new document.

Obviously creating a new document is one of the easiest thing to do in Photoshop. To open a new document just click on File which you can find just above the option bar. Click on File and then click new. I am using Photoshop CS6 for windows.

For the Mac user instead of blue PS that is at the top left corner you may see apple icon. Being a beginner you may find its easy to open a new file just by following the above step but after some time it will really start irritating you to go to filenew again and again to create a new file. For that there’s a solution. You can use keyboard shortcut for that. Just press ctrl+N for PC or cmd+N for Mac. This will open the dialogue box for creating a new file. In the name box the name you are going to write would be the name of your new file.

As you can see that I have written “TrickyPhotoshop”. So the name of the file that is going to be created is “TrickyPhotoshop”. messagebox title=”MESSAGE TITLE” color=”red”.

Don’t put file extension at the end of your file name like (.jpg,.png,.psd etc) because Photoshop will let you save your work in multiple formats when you save your work once you are done with your project /messagebox divider scrolltext=”SCROLLTEXT” Photoshop comes with may predefined formats likes International paper, Web, default Photoshop Size, Photo etc. For the web preset, the default size is 800 by 600. I advice to use pixels instead of inch, centimeters etc. In the width box you can enter whatever the value you want. The value you enter is going to be the width of your new project. Adjacent to the width box you can see a drop sown menu where you can see pixels, inches, centimeters etc. Suppose you enter your with as 1600 and you select “pixels” in the drop down then the new file is going to have 1600 pixels width.

If you enter 10 in the width box and you choose inch in the right box then the new file you are going to create will be 10 inch wide. messagebox title=”MESSAGE TITLE” color=”red”If you have copied a selection from you’re a part of an image or the entire image than that image will be temporary store in the memory of your computer and generally we call that “clipboard”. When you create a new file Photoshop is smart enough to automatically put the width and height of the selection as your width and height of the new file./messagebox divider scrolltext=”SCROLLTEXT” Resolution basically defines the pixels per inch, pixels per centimeter in the document. Greater the resolution larger will be the size of file. For web or home use 72 pixels per inch, for professional printers use 240 pixels per inch or better use 300 pixels per inch.

In the above image you can see that in the magnified form there are lots of square shape object. This is called as pixels.

Basically pixel constitutes an image just like bricks are the building blocks of our house. In the color mode profile you can see various profiles like bitmap, RGB etc. Lab Color: I think you all know that human eye cannot see all the colors that are present around us or differentiate between them. Lab color converts the your original photo color to the color which is best suited for human eye can detects or rather I’d say converts all the color that is beyond the range of human eye to the color that is easily detectable by human eye. Adjacent to the color mode you can see you can see the bit depth. In the drop down menu you can see 1bit, 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit. It determines the amount of colors in your photo.

While 1 bit and 32 bit is very rare, I’m mainly going to talk about 8 bit and 16 bit. More the bit means more color information it can store. By choosing the larger bit file size increases (roughly in the multiples of 2). I totally recommend you to choose 16 bit for a new file for professional use while choose 8 bit for personal use. 8 bit consists of 256 colors, 16 bit consists of 65,536 colors while 32 bit is mainly called as high dynamic range (If you are an photographer you might’ve heard a term HDR photography.

That HDR is short form of high dynamic range.). Next thing you can see is the “background content”. As the name is already defining its function, the color you are choosing would be the background of your photo. Transparent: Your background would not have any color. You can use any color in the future to fill your background PS: You can change the background color whenever you want.

If you are seeing the e of pattern that is shown below as your background than this means your background is transparent. divider scrolltext=”SCROLLTEXT” Color profile is like a instruction you are giving to Photoshop that instructs Photoshop to use only certain type of colors. By default it is set to “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”. I totally recommend you to leave this profile to default mode until and unless you have idea about it. Pixel Aspect Ratio is basically determines the shape of your pixels. As you can see in the 5 th image from the top that the pixels are looking in the shape of square.

It is one of the best shape if you are working on a photo. If you are working on a video than this pixels may looks distorted(as you change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9). For video purpose choose the aspect ratio that is best suitable for you. divider scrolltext=”SCROLLTEXT” You can click on “save preset” and use that preset for again and again without filling the information again and again.

Adjust the setting according to you after clicking on “save preset”. And you are done here. Read my next tutorial in which I will be discussing about. Thank you for reading this article. Hopefully we’ll meet again in four days.

What you are seeing is the norm for the CS3 suite on OS X, both 10.5 and 10.4. With previous versions of CS, you needed to select the printer tab to make changes to the printer specific options, like paper type. And when you selected the printer tab you were warned that any changes made outside of the CS print dialog may not be correctly invoked.

At least with CS3, the print workflow is usable. You just have to realise that any printer specific settings can only be obtained once you progress past the CS3 print dialog. So I've been pulling my hair out for 2 days & nights now trying to figure out why I couldnt print on custom paper sizes - I've just now hit the 'help' icon in the print dialog box (so simple I didnt ever think to read through the steps set out!) and found this: 'Creating a custom page size If you want to print on unusual size paper, such as an odd-size envelope or card, you may be able choose the paper’s size from the Paper Size pop-up menu. To find the Paper Size pop-up menu, choose File Page Setup, if available.

Otherwise, choose File Print. If you can’t find the size you need, you can create your own custom paper size. To create a custom page size: Open the document you want to print.

Choose File Page Setup, if it’s available. Choose Page Attributes from the Settings pop-up menu, and then choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu. Choosing Any Printer ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.

If Page Setup is not available, choose File Print. If the Print dialog contains only two pop-up menus and some buttons across the bottom, click the disclosure triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu. Choose Manage Custom Sizes from the Paper Size pop-up menu. Click the Add ➕ button. Type a name for the paper size. Enter values in the Paper Size and Printer Margins field.' All I had to change was the 'any printer' setting from my (konica minolta) printers name to 'Any Printer'!!
