File preparation: How to prep a Photoshop file

  • Step 1

    Launch Photoshop.

  • Step 2

    To create a new file, use the shortcut Ctrl + N (or Command + N on Mac). For detailed setup instructions, follow the guidelines shown in the accompanying image.

  • Step 3

    Once you’ve created the new file, a settings window will appear. Ensure the document is at least 10 inches wide and set the resolution to 300 dpi or more for high-quality output. Before saving, verify that your design spans at least 9 inches in width.

Creating Layers for Your File

When working in Photoshop, using layers is crucial for keeping your file well-organized. This approach allows you to easily revisit, adjust, or fine-tune individual components as needed. Adding layers is simple: look for the icon that looks like a folded piece of paper on the right side of the Layers panel. Clicking this icon will create a new layer instantly. (Refer to the image on the right for a visual guide.)

*Remember, your file should have a resolution of 300 dpi to be print-ready.

The final file should be neatly organized, with each element separated into its own layer. This is commonly known as the MASTER file. (See the image on the right for an example.)

NOTE: Avoid merging or flattening your layers.

What is Resolution?

Resolution is essentially the clarity or sharpness of an image. It's determined by the number of tiny dots or pixels that make up the picture.
