Summary

To conclude this chapter, we have the fundamentals of setting up a document down, and this is important to understand because having to resize a document post-editing can be a tremendous headache as we start building masking layers and modifying effects.

Now that we have the basics of the document down, it is time to create your first image; in the next chapter, we will look at the concept of layers. Sticking with the concept of building from the ground up, pixels create layers, which are then stacked to form images. So, to understand editing, you must first understand the layer structure by opening your first image and starting to edit it – see you in the next chapter!
