Barb Eugene Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Good Morning! I'm new to Elements and am trying to learn Elements 11 and have a question about creating a preset new blank file. I scrap the photos I take in a specific layout file size so I can publish them in a Blurb photobook. I've been creating annual photobooks for some time now. In Paint Shop Pro, which I still love, I can create a preset for the new file that's sized for Blurb landscape-oriented books. Can I do that in Elements also? I frustrated with having to specify the size every time I start a new layout. Thanks in advance for your help! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieT Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't think you can create a preset in PSE, I used to use PSE10 and never found a way to do it. You can create preset sizes in CS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisha Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You might try a work-around like this: create a blank document in the size you want. Save it. Now whenever you want to start a layout, open it. Then right away save it as something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becster Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have PSE 9. Is there a way to set default canvas size in preferences? If I've done 12x12 most recently, it seems to remember that the next time I go to open a new one. I'll have to poke around and take a look.

jenrou Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It does remember what you used last time, but I haven't seen any preset sizes. But what do I know? There are so many hidden things in PSE and PS. :P/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becster Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I did some Googling and this might be worth taking a look at. Not sure if it will work with later versions, though. http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=150065&postcount=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenrou Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I found a tutorial on CD Calendar on the blog. it mentioned presets so I tried it. When you create a NEW document in PSE 10, there is a preset listed above where you type your size in. If you open that, whatever you named your document will be listed at the bottom. If I understand it correctly, you can set a preset size. CD Calendar Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
