You -can also set custom dimensions and the orientation of the document from the -input fields below the predefined drop-down. This can also be saved as a new -predefined preset for your future use by giving a name in the Save As field and -clicking on the Save button. Below we find the Color section of the new -document dialog box, where you can select the color model and the bit-depth. -Check :ref:`color_management_settings` for more info. - -On the :guilabel:`Content` tab, you can define a name for your new document. -This name will appear in the metadata of the file, and Krita will use it for -the auto-save functionality as well. If you leave it empty, the document will -be referred to as 'Unnamed' by default. You can select the background color and -the amount of layers you want in the new document. Krita remembers the amount -of layers you picked last time, so be careful. - -Finally, there's a description box, useful to note down what you are going to do. - -Create From Clipboard -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -This section allows you to create a document from an image that is in your -clipboard, like a screenshot. It will have all the fields set to match the -clipboard image. - -Templates: -~~~~~~~~~~ - -These are separate categories where we deliver special defaults. Templates are -just .kra files which are saved in a special location, so they can be pulled up -by Krita quickly. You can make your own template file from any .kra file, by -using :menuselection:`File --> Create Template From Image` in the top menu. -This will add your current document as a new template, including all its -properties along with the layers and layer contents. - -Once you have created a new document according to your preference, you should -now have a white canvas in front of you (or whichever background color you -chose in the dialog). +Click on the :guilabel:`Custom Document` section and in the :guilabel:`Dimensions` +tab choose A4(300ppi) or any size that you prefer from the :guilabel:`predefined` drop down +To know more about the oter sections such as create document from clipboard and +templates see :ref:`create_new_document`. + +Make sure that the color profile is RGB and depth is set to 8-bit integer/channel in the color section. +For advanced information about the color and color management refer to :ref:`general_concept_color`.
