In the first lesson in this chapter, we learned how to set Photoshop as our default image editor so that our images will open directly into Photoshop when we double-click on them in Windows or macOS. Opening images is different from creating new documents, since the image itself determines the document's size. When to open an existing image in Photoshopīut if you're a photographer, then instead of creating a new document, you'll most likely want to start by opening an existing image into Photoshop.
And we'll be learning how to create new documents in this tutorial. Basically, any time you want to start with a blank canvas and then add your content as you go, you'll want to create a new Photoshop document. New documents are also great for digital painting with Photoshop's brushes, and for creating composites from multiple images. You simply create a new blank document at the size you need and then begin adding and arranging your various elements. New documents are perfect for design layouts, whether for print or for the web. Then once we've created the canvas (the document), we can import images, graphics or other assets into it. When we create a new Photoshop document, we create what is essentially a blank canvas. Let's get started!ĭownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! Creating new documents vs opening images in Photoshopīefore we begin, it's important that we understand the difference between creating a new document in Photoshop and opening an existing image into Photoshop. This lesson is part of my Complete Guide to Getting Images into Photoshop. Check convert to sRGB to accomodate those without color management.To follow along with this tutorial, you'll want to be using the latest version of Photoshop and you'll want to make sure that your copy is up to date. I'd recommend you always use a color managed browser (like Firefox), preview with "document profile", and always embed the profile. This is identical to how Photoshop main app always displays.

"Document Profile" runs the full color management chain, from embedded document profile into system default monitor profile.It's a completely meaningless setting IMO. "Internet Standard" assigns sRGB to the file (no conversion - just blindly assigns).So this mimics a non-color managed browser. "Monitor Color" turns off the display color management chain, and sends the numbers directly to the monitor without any correction.The application reads both these profiles and does the translation. The document profile is embedded in the file, and the monitor profile is installed at system level. A single profile is like one hand clapping. It's not one or the other - both need to be present and correct. It's a translation from one color space to another. The important thing is to produce image people like particularly ones you yourself like.įirst you should understand that a color managed application converts from the document profile into the monitor profile. Most people seem to like colors over saturated and more vivid then thye really are. I'm a little colorblind my world is better looking than yours in the first place. I'm not a stickler for colors on my display. If one uses Save for web I feel Adobe should automatically use the convert to sRGB it should IMO not be an option the files saved should have sRGB colors for the web. Frankly I think seeing monitor profile in the dialog confuses users more than help them understand color management. The preview is rendering a image for your monitor not a print preview for some printer, paper and inks. If you are editing in sRGB and your desktop is set to sRGB why would you think you monitor preview should change. However image on the web should be sRGB images so if your image is not being edited in the sRGB color space you should use the convert to sRGB so the image saved will be an sRGB image and if you are having save for web embed a color profile it will be for the file saved it will be a sRGB profile
I wrote if you have Save for web and have it embed a color profile it will embed the color profile of the color space the document is being edited in what ever that is.
