Open a blank picture

You can open a blank picture if you want to start with a blank canvas. A blank canvas is useful for starting work on a composite where you will be inserting objects from the Gallery or from other pictures.
To open a blank picture:
  1. On the File menu, click New.
  2. Select a canvas size.
  3. Set the image size, pixel dimensions, or resolution.
  4. Click Done.

Note

The pixel dimensions are the product of the image size multiplied by the resolution. For example, if you have a picture that is 4 x 6 inches, and its resolution is 300 pixels per inch, its pixel dimensions would be 1200 x 1800. Given this relationship, if you change one of the three settings, one of the other settings will also have to change to keep the mathematical relationship equal.
