When Photoshop is opened, the first thing to do is to find the word “File” at the top of the computer screen and when highlighted then click on “New”. A box will then appear. The Document Type must be International Paper, if the Document Type does not say International Paper but something else it can be changed by clicking a visible arrow facing downwards which then shows the different Document Types available. It is at this moment when you click on International Paper, when this is done click OK.

After clicking OK, this should appear on the computer screen.
