Setting the size and background color of the canvas

If you are going to use a background image, this step can be omitted since pasting an image on the canvas will adjust the canvas size to that of the image automatically.

To set the size and background color,

1. Choose the Canvas from the Image menu and the canvas dialog will pop up.
2. Change the figures in the width and height entries if you are going to set the canvas size to the one different from the default setting.
3. You can choose the background color with the color selector launched by clicking the ...button just right to the color entry.
4. Clicking the save button will save the setting and it will take effect immediately.
