How do I create a new document in Adobe Photoshop?

Asked 5 months ago
Creating a new document in Adobe Photoshop is a straightforward process. First, you will want to launch Adobe Photoshop on your computer. Once the program is open, look for the "File" menu located in the top-left corner of the screen. Click on "File," and from the dropdown menu, select "New." This will open the New Document dialog box, where you can choose various settings for your new document. You can specify the width and height of the document, as well as the resolution, color mode, and background contents. There are also numerous presets available that can help if you are unsure about the settings. After you have made your selections, simply click the "Create" button, and a new document will open, allowing you to start your work. For additional information or to view more specific options, one may consider exploring the help documentation available on the official Adobe website.
