To create a new document you choose Menu >File >New
...
Resolution…We will use 150
...
Follow Along Steps:
Okay, lets do this together
1
...
Put in a Size ( 8 inch by 11 inch)
3
...
Resolution is 150 this time
...
EXERCISE 4
SELECTING/COPYING/PASTING:
First lets reset the tools
...
Click and hold where indicated by the circle
...
This is done because a previous user could have set custom configurations that you
do not desire
...
The Marquee Tool allows you to click and drag an area of an image,
thus selecting it
...
This is the area that you can
affect
...
This works just like a word processor in the sense that you select an
area, copy an area and then paste it to a destination
...
TIP: Another useful trick for copying/pasting is the move tool
...
It will paste whatever was on that layer into the new document
