11. If you don’t see rulers on the top and left edges of the document window,
choose View>Rulers to toggle rulers on.

As we explained in the Interface chapter, the panels you see depend on what was done
the last time you (or someone else) used the Photoshop application. Because workspace
arrangement is such a personal preference, we tell you what panels you need to use but
we don’t tell you where to put them.

Rulers display the
selected unit values.

The document tab shows
the file name, view
percentage, and color
model of the active file.

Because you chose White as
the background color in the
New dialog box, the default
layer is named “Background”
and it is locked.

12. Choose File>Save As. Navigate to your WIP>Liberty folder as the location
for saving this file.
Because you named the file when you created it (in the New dialog box), the Save
As field is automatically set to the file name you already assigned. The extension is
automatically added on both Macintosh and Windows computers.

13. Choose Photoshop in the Format/Save As Type menu.
You can save a Photoshop file in a number of different formats, all of which have specific
capabilities, limitations, and purposes. While you are still working on a file, it’s best to
keep it as a native Photoshop (PSD) file.

Files saved as Photoshop
format display a “.psd”
extension.

14. Leave any remaining options unchecked and click Save.
Since this is a very basic file with only a white background, most of the other options in
the Save As dialog box are not available at this time.

15. Continue to the next exercise.
