I have Photoshop installed on my laptop so I am not all that outdated, but sadly my Photoshop knowledge stops right there. bleh. It's not like I have never tried to explore Photoshop. I did. Numerous times, but I always ended up clicking every icon available on Photoshop and after 5 minutes of doing that I'd still end up with a blank grey screen :/
Then came the legendary Mr. Khairulazhar on the 17th May 2012, and he said "students, like every piece of worthy artwork, Photoshop too begins with a blank canvas!" dayumm! I ran out of the classroom in shame upon hearing that! I will never ever be able to forgive myself for not knowing the simple philosophy behind an artwork! Okay, kidding! haha! Trust me for DRAMA ;)
So here are a few steps that we learnt during our "Intro to Photoshop" Tutorial lesson
Step 1
*Click File > New
Step 2
A new window pops up allowing you to customize your canvas. A 16 inches x 20 inches, 300 pixel, white canvas was chosen. The colour was set to CMYK instead of the default RGB because unlike RGB, CMYK allows you to print your artwork once it is completed.
Step 3
Once you click okay, the new white background/canvas appears. The background cannot be edited. A new layer must be added to start work.
To create new layer, click Layer>New>Layer
