Creating a new document/canvas (to add multiple images to)

I am totally new to Photoshop Elements (using v.13), with some previous experience in old versions of Photoshop. I am an interior designer and I want to make a design board. Essentially what I am trying to do is create a new, blank document layer and then add images of furniture, rugs, etc. Each element needs to be its own layer so that I can edit each individually. I have no idea how to even begin that on here. New document? Open a blank document? When I go to the layers tab, creating layers is not even an option. Obviously, I need some help. Explain this to me as you would to a child....Thanks!

Open the Editor in Expert tab
Go to File menu>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions, resolution in px/in, and background. This "canvas" will be the background layer and will show up as such in the layers palette.
Now, as far as adding pictures of furniture, rugs, etc., I suggest that you prepare each one so that they are ready to be placed on the canvas. Do the math: how large can each one be? Are they all in portrait or landscape orientation? If not, what will be the best fit? Is the brightness/contrast of each picture more-or-less uniform so that the design board will look nice.
Crop each picture to specification, and save it to disk.
Once you have done this, do the following:
Open the blank file
Open Picture A, go to Select menu>all, then Edit menu>Copy to place it on the clipboard,
Go back the blank file, then Edit>Paste. Picture A will be on its own layer. Position it with the move tool, and resize with the corner handles, if needed.
Do the same with pictures B, C, D, etc.
As indicated above, in the dialog for the blank file, you need to enter a value for resolution. Ideally, the resolution should be the same as that of the picture files. You can check via Image menu>resize>image size. If the resolution is 72 px/in, enter this in the field for the blank file.
Feel free to repost if this is not clear.

Creating a new document with separate images

Can someone help me create a new document that has two separate images. I can create a new document but don't know how to place two separate photos in the document. For instance create a document that is 8.5 x11 with two images each 8.5 x 5.5.

there is a number of ways to do this. also reading the manual to get a basic understanding of how Photoshop works will do wonders. Another method of learning is lynda.com
here is one way.
1 make a doc that is 8.5 x 11 at whatever resolution you need.
2 use a guide as a center point.
3 open the two pics you want to use.
4 make sure they are the same res as your 8.5 x 11
5 drag the layers from the open pics to the 8.5 x 11
6 crop and size the pics in the file so they fit in each half

Can I create a new document with a locked PDF file, add new pages, and lock it all again?

I published a PDF document ten years ago and now want to add Creative Commons licensing language to the copyright page. But I forgot the password! I gather from the Forum that there is no way to recover the password. However, I wonder if I can take the locked PDF file, create a new document (adding a new page for the licensing information), then lock the whole thing up again. Will this work? Thanks for your help!

To create an unprotected file you would need the password.

Creating a new document in Finder with right-click--How?

Is there a way to create a new document in a Finder folder by right-clicking (or Ctrl-left)? So that the new file will be created at that very spot, in that very folder.
In Windows-Explorer this was quick and easy. Just right-click and you could choose from a menu to create a new empty doc of the most popular (installed) programs. Text file was mandatory. The file was created where the curser was at. VERY handy as that way you didn't have to open the application, create a new doc and then when saving having to crawl your way all the way to the position in the Explorer/ Finder.
Since I started with Apple and Tiger I've been missing this feature and Snow Leopard still does not seem to have it. Or did I miss something? I checked all the menue as well. There's not even a "Create new document". Only a "Create new folder".
I was just reminded of this when I wanted to create a new file on an external drive on a server to save some text in it. There was no way other than first opening Textedit, saving the empty file on the local Mac, THEN transferring the empty file to the server. Only THEN I could open it and edit it.
There MUST be a quicker way.
Also, in Windows you could edit this list in the menu (and add programs that would not by themselves do this). Is there a way for the Mac?
Cheers,
Jay

I might have just found a solution myself:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10432377?messageID=10432377&amp%3b#1043237 7
It seems other people are wondering too.
And for those of you who don't understand why this is useful: Try it.
Open Textedit, Apple-N, and then save the darned file somewhere deep in the labyrinth of the Finder where you've just been but withouth the file. It takes AGES.
I, on the other hand -- at least in Windows --, right-click, new, double-click AAAND I'm on editing the file.
VERY quick.
It's beyond me why this is not possible on a Mac.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Creating a new document on the fly?

Is there a way to create a new document when adding a hyperlink to an existing document, directly from the 'insert hyperlink' menu in CS5? I've googled, i've looked through the help, and can't seem to find anything. This feature existed on Frontpage 98, so I can't imagine it can't be done in a Dreamweaver version 15 yrs newer .
I'm in an existing document adding text and I want to add a link to a new page..because as I'm typing I realize a new page is in order. In frontpage a million years ago, I could choose 'insert hyperlink' and one of the options was to 'create new page', so it would insert the hyperlink and create a new blank page at the location specified in the link, named based on what I chose when creating the link. Then later, I could go back and edit that page to add the appropriate content. It's incredibly inefficient to have to create the new page first, and then go back to the document and add the hyperlink
If this doesn't exist, is there a way to add a custom command to the right click menu or the create hyperlink menu?
Thanks!
Steve

In my workflow, I create all my site pages first. When I'm done, I create my site wide navigation inside the main template.dwt file and populate changes to child pages. Or, I put my site wide navigation inside a server-side include.

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output.

I'm studying up for the CS4 ACE exam, and I'm stumped on something. In the "Laying out a Document" section, it says: "Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output." There isn't really anything specific to creating a document for flash, except that you wouldn't add bleed. I can't find anything online that addresses this. Am I missing something here? Any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. This seems rather ambiguous. What is there to know about this?

You're right that any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. I'm not sure what you're going to be asked on the ACE exam, but here are some resources:

Hi,
1. You can create new PR and PO docu types at the following path:
For PR docu type:
First you need to create number range for docu type or you can use existing number range also. The path for creation of no. range is
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Number Ranges
Then create PR docu type at below path and assign no. range to PR docu type here only
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types
For PO docu type:
Follow same procedure as mentioned for PR docu type. Path is
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Number Ranges
SPRO>Materials Management>Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Document Types
If you want to create PO referencing new PR docu type, link the PR docu type to PO docu type at below path:
SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types--> Link purchase requisition - document type

My email has changed. Should I create a new Apple ID or add the new address as an alternate to the old account?

I have an Apple ID that uses an old email address. Would like to use current email. Should I update my old ID, create a new one or just add the new address as an alternate email for the old account? I understand there are issues with updating apps if you change your ID. Can someone please explain the best way to set this up?

Contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add your old apps to the download queue of your new Apple ID. If they do so(they most likely will), delete the old apps from your iTunes library & move all files to trash:

How can I create a new documents folder

Anyone know how I can create a new documents folder in my home folder? I accidently deleted it. Nothing was in it, so I don't need to recover it. I just want a new empty documents folder.
Actually, never mind. I solved the problem myself.
At first I created a folder in the sidebar, and it didn't have the documents icon on it. I just solved the problem by deleting that icon, then creating a new folder in the main window, naming it "documents", and then the documents icon appeared. Then I dragged it to the sidebar and it created a copy there.

My mistake. I was able to create a new documents folder without any throuble.

Create a new document in Sharepoint Document Library/OneDrive on iPad/Safari

Hi,
My users are having trouble creating a new document from OneDrive in Safari on their iPads. The screen goes grey like its going to show the popup to select the new file type, but the popup never comes up. If they clear their cache, it works for exactly 1
time and then goes back to this behavior. I'm not exactly sure if it worked before and/or when it stopped working. The iPad I have tested was at the latest 8.2 version of IOS and my Sharepoint farm is an On-Prem install of 2013 with SP1 mark2. My WAC farm
is also 2013 SP1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
I understand you are suffering the issue when create a document in Sharepoint Document Library/OneDrive on iPad.
According to the official article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161353.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396, the version of your iOS should be in the supported list. I guess the issue may start after you installed an update, and if there is any other version (low versions)
of iPads in your company, please use a different version device to test the issue.
Meanwhile, to determine whether the issue is related to your SharePoint environment, I suggest you just to register an Office 365 trail account, and test the issue with SharePoint Online. In case the same issue happens with SharePoint Online, the issue should
be related to your client device, and my next suggestion is to contact support of your device manufacture.
Once you need any help from SharePoint end, please don’t hesitate to come back, and we are always happy to support you.

Lisa Chen
