Color Mode/Resolution
When creating a document in Photoshop there are certain factors to consider Dimension: Define what size you want your document to be. You can use inches, millmeters, centimeters and pixels. Resolution: Resolution means how many pixels there are per inch or per centimeter. To have good quality for your image you'll need a minimum number of pixels per inch/centimeter. If you are working on a project that will be broadcast on a screen (such a tv, computer screen, cellphone screen) you'll need a minimum resolution of 72 ppi (pixels per inch). If you are going to print the design you'll need a minimum of 300 ppi (pixels per inch) Color Mode: There are two main color modes. RGB and CMYK. RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. These are three primary colors of a screen. You should use this color mode when designing media projects for the screen (websites, tv graphics, video game graphics) CMYK stands for Cyan, Magneta, Yellow and Black. These are the four primary colors of a printer. You should use this color mode when designing media projects that will eventually be printed. This includes posters, business cards, book covers.
