Photoshop: Force Carbon Copy Dimensions and DPI Upon New Document (Video)

January 19, 2009 | Posted in Photoshop | 10 Comments »

This one was hard to title, but it’s just a quick workflow tip to save you time. Instead of having to type in demensions and DPI every time you create a new document, you can use a series of keyboard shortcuts to force Photoshop to make a carbon copy of the current document settings. Have a watch :)

    should read “Dimensions” not “Demensions”.

    Pretty handy. Didn’t know about that one.

    hehe :)
    I already knew about this.
    The other thing that’s sweet with this : you can copy some illustrator logo to your photoshop and have the same tip.
    Copy your logo/clipart in illustrator, go back to photoshop, and CMD+N : photoshop will create the new document in the size of what u’ve just copy via illustrator ;)
    It worrks with other programs to like the office series etc…

    That’s a very useful tip, but I have a question: are you from the past?

    This applies to anything copied onto your clipboard. If you copy a picture from a website and then open a new photoshop document, it will be automatically set to the dimensions of whatever you have copied, waiting to be pasted. : )

    One little tweak: Ctrl/Shift-Copy makes sure that you get the entire document. If you have a chunk of art on a transparent layer and you have the layer currently selected, hitting Ctrl-Copy will only copy what’s on that layer, making your new doc the same dimensions as the copied layer.

    Zat make sense?

    :s.

    I appreciate your tip sure! but, isn’t it an really old feature of Photoshop? well, anyway, if 1 single person learnt some from this, it was useful…
