Title: can someone tell me how to set up my are size in Photoshop please.
Post by: pharoah007 on January 25, 2012, 06:06:41 pm

I can use PhotoShop and would like to make some art for the side of a bartop MAME I am building.

What I would like some instruction on is.. how do I set up my "canvas" so it is the exact size of the side of my bartop?  This way when I print it out it will be the right size.

I hope I am explaining myself well enough here. If not, please just ask me and I can attempt to clarify a bit more.


TIA all.

When you create a new piece of work, it asks you to set up your canvas size right away, if you already have a project open, you cant select "Image" from the menu bar, then select "Canvas Size..." or alternately you can use Alt+Ctrl+C.

So it IS that easy.

I guess my problems are with the printing/cropping

Thanks man.
