#2: Creating New Document with Exact Properties from Opened Canvas
Posted on 5:52 AM by Daniy
Now here’s the scene. You are working on your girlfriend’s photo, making selections, smoothing edges, and applying filters. But it’s too risky for you to apply it on the original document, since you have lack of memory of what you’ve done to your images, and accidentally save them along with unwanted changes. So you tend to make a new document with the same size and resolution as your original image.You do the best try with scrolling the Image > Image Size which will bring you to a dialogue box contains information about the image’s width, height, and resolution. You copy those numbers to notepad [or write them down on a paper] in case you have a lack of memory indeed. The next thing you do is go to the File > New menu, and fill the numbers to the boxes. It’s done, but you still have that question mark which asks “Is there anyway to do that faster?”
Well, the next tip is a time saving technique which will boost you Photoshop performance.
Here we go. The right thing for you to do is DON’T open the Image > Image Size menu, because you really DON’T have to. Just head straight to the File > New menu. When the new dialogue box opened, switch your mouse-pointer to Window menu, and look to the bottom of the menu where you will see lists of opened images. Click to one of those files and see what happened. Photoshop had just done it for you! The new dialog box are already filled with exact size and resolution. Just as what you want.
