Subtitles of the Movie

Well, you already know how you can open a document you might already have saved to your hard disk such as a photo, a digital photo from a digital camera, or a photo you might have scanned or what not. All you need to do is go to the file menu and choose open, or what I prefer to do is choose browse. And it brings up the browser palette, which I talked about in an earlier lesson. If you want to create a new document, it's quite simple. File menu, choose new and it will bring up this dialogue box - asking you to make some decisions. First of all you can give it a name, if you want at this point, or you don't have to. You can always give it a name when you save it. Or you can choose from some of these presets. Which is a nice convenient addition to Photoshop7. The default Photoshop size is 5x7 inches at 72 pixels per inch. That's fine, but you could choose from any of these presets such as working on a standard letter, image or legal image. And notice how the values changed to accommodate those dimensions. Or you could choose from some standard pixel dimensions as well - 640 by 480 is a small basic computer screen. Or the size that I am currently working on, 800 by 600, or what not. And you can see that we also have some standard sizes for video editing, if you are working on a Photoshop document that will eventually be designed for TV, you might choose between one of these values. NTSC for the United States or PAL if you are doing something for European television production. And finally we have these various European letter sizes. Notice that we can choose these three basic parameters. Our width and our height and our pixel resolution, and this relates very much to our basic image size. So what I am going to do is I am going to go back to inches here, and I'll just type in that the standard size 7x5 inches. And for resolution I'll leave it at 72 pixels per inch. And for color mode, we'll stick with RGB. You can choose between 3 different background types - the standard white background, or the current background color which in this case is also white, or transparent. You could actually design, begin working on a transparent background image. And that relates to how we would be managing layers, which we'll discuss in a later lesson. So right now I'll just stick with white. And I want to point out this very important factor called resolution here, which we've spoken about briefly. And that is currently if I design this image, it would really be designed for something like the World Wide Web. And notice that a 5x7-inch image at 72 pixels per inch yields about half a megabyte size image. However, if I increase this value to say 300 pixels per inch, notice the image size jumps to 9 megabytes in size. So this particular image size, a 300 pixels per inch image at 5x7-inches would be good for printing in a magazine. So I'm going to click ok, and here is my new empty 5x7-inch document at 300 pixels per inch, ready to paint into or drag some other elements in from another document.
