Getting Started 19

To create a new image or animation (using Startup Wizard) :

1. The first time you launch PhotoPlus, you'll see the Startup Wizard, with a

menu of choices. Click New Image or New Animation.

2. In the New Image dialog, you can either:

1. For a preset canvas size, select a suitable Category from the drop-

down list. Categories are named according to how your image or

animation is intended to be used, e.g. pick a Photo category for photo-

sized canvases.

2. Pick a canvas Size from the drop-down list.

For a custom canvas size, enter your own Width and Height. If the

dimensions are non-standard, the Size drop-down list will be shown as

"Custom." For future use, save the custom size with Add Size... (from

the button) if necessary.

Although you can resize the image canvas size (width x height) later, it's

usually best to allow some extra canvas area at first.

3. (Optional) Add a Resolution for the new image file. Leave the resolution as

is unless you're sure a different value is required.

4. (Optional) Select a Color Mode, choosing to operate in RGB or Grayscale

mode.

5. (Optional) Select a Bit Depth of 16 bits per channel for projects which

require higher levels of color detail. Otherwise a bit depth of 8 bits/channel

is used as default.

6. (Optional) Select a background type in the Background drop-down list.

When painting from scratch, you'll normally choose White.

You can also choose Background Color, to use the current background

color shown on the Color tab.

When creating an animation, Transparent is often called for.

7. When you've made your selections, click OK.
