1 Go to File: New

2 Choose image dimensions either from presets or pixel boxes

3 Choose resolution As a guide, an A4 size image (ie 11X 8 in), at 400 pixels per inch, will have a canvas size of 4600x3300 pixels

3 Tick button Art Media Background

4 Select canvas back texture you want

5 Enable fill colour

6 Select a picture you want to place on the canvas

7 Go to Image

8 Make resolution the same as the canvas

9 Resize it either as pixels or inches

10 Copy it

11 Select the canvas you have made

12 Go to Edit

13 Paste as new selection Don’t click the mouse until you have dragged the picture element to where you want it otherwise it will stick to the canvas. If this happens you can always undo the last action through the Edit menu You can also move an image or part of an image after it is stuck down by using the selection tool on the left hand menubar. If you drag it or copy it it will take away its part of the background. Therefore if you are going to anticipate this, make the background white at the start.
