You may want to create a web graphic, banner,
or company logo and letterhead, in which case you need to start
from a new blank file.
In the Editor, choose File > New >
Blank File.
Enter options for the new image and click OK.
Name
Names the new image file.
Preset
Provides options for setting the width, height, and resolution
of images that you intend to print or to view on‑screen. Select
Clipboard to use the size and resolution of data that you copied
to the clipboard. You can also base a new image on the size and
resolution of any open image by choosing its name from the bottom
of the Preset menu.
Width, Height, and Resolution
Sets these options individually. The default values are
based on the last image you created, unless you’ve copied data to
the clipboard.
Color Mode
Sets an image to RGB color, grayscale, or bitmap (1‑bit
mode).
Background Contents
Sets the color of the image background layer. White is the
default. Select Background Color to use the current background color
(shown in the toolbox). Select Transparent to make the default layer
transparent, with no color values—the new image will have a Layer
1 instead of a Background layer.
You can also
right-click the background of an image to choose a background color
(gray, black, or a custom color).
