Make a white layer

[andrewh87337132]

How do I make a white layer then turn it to a canvas. Then have my images put on to make a water colour print. Sorry for a simple question. Thanks

If you are creating a new document

1. Choose Background Contents > White from the left bottom of the New Document dialog.

If you have an existing document

1. Create a new layer by clicking on the Create a new layer icon found at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
2. With the layer selected, choose Edit Menu > Fill
3. Choose Contents > White.
4. Ensure this layer is at the bottom of your layer stack

Hi I can now get a white layer up but it will not let me go into filter gallery?

[manal shanableh]

check the file mode, it must be RGB

then the filter gallery will be active.

And to make a Layer a Background Layer in an image that has no Background Layer: Layer > New > Background from Layer

[manal shanableh]

You can create new document with white background, or fill the layer with white, from layers panel menu> flatten image.

or right mouse on the layer>flatten image.
