Photoshop Documents, Viewing Modes and Files

Let's start a blank Photoshop document by going to File in the text-menu and choosing New. The resulting dialog window will look something like this ......

The first item is a field where we can establish a Name for this file. Let's type in the name that we'd like to have for this file, for instance, "website". If we skip this feild, the document will be named by Photoshop as "Untitled". This is fine, the file can be named later when it's saved.
-------------

Next, is a drop-down menu labeled Preset that allows us to choose from some previously defined document types. For now, let's choose "Web". When we do this, many of the options that follow are changed for us. We will explore this interface in more detail in later sections of this series.
And also do select your screen size(eg.1270x780)






Let's accept these default values by choosing the OK button positioned in the top right of this dialog window.
When we do that, a new window will open in our workspace.


Controlling the Viewing Mode with keyboard shortcuts

If our interface doesn't look like the image above, we may be in the wrong viewing mode. Photoshop gives us a convenient way of moving between viewing modes while we work on images.

A. We can toggle the interface palettes and context-menu on and off by tapping the TAB key on our keyboard.

B. We can toggle between window states by tapping the F key on our keyboard.

Let's take a moment to experiment with these keyboard shortcuts and observe the different views.

Well this is how you finally save your photoshop file.
And there is one more thing you can save your Photoshop file using JPEG or gif etc.... click on the drop down menu(Format) and after the selecting it save it... and enjoy.
