: How can I make Photoshop always open a new document with the same settings? I always want to open a new document with the same size, resolution, colourmode etc. Photoshop annoyingly defaults

@Steve758

I think I know how to fix this. Just go to edit > purge > clipboard.

It happened to me too, but turns out for some reason, I had something in my clipboard, so whenever I made a new file, it automatically thought I wanted to see the clipboard thing. Purging it reset it.

This may look like rather long, but aside from the making of the preset, I tried to make it pretty detailed (You might be able to follow by just looking at the images)



Making your own Preset:


Start making a new document (Hotkey: Ctrl+N) with the settings that you want.
Use the (Save Preset...) button.
Name your preset and press Ok.


Preset is done and can be found from the preset list from now on.



Making the Action:


Open the Actions window (Hotkey: alt+F9)

Make a new folder (very optional)


Make a new Action



Set the name and other details for this action (can be changed
later)

When you press (Record) the recording will start. When
you're recording don't rush, it doesn't matter how long it takes
for you to record the action


Start making a new document (Hotkey: ctrl+N)

Select the Preset that you've made and press OK.
In the Action window press the Stop button.


The action is done and just for reference. Here's what the action
includes:


So, when Action is done you can start it my pressing the play icon in the Action window or by using the assigned hotkey.

You could indeed make action where you don't start by making a preset and in #3 you would set the document settings that you want and press OK.

The thing about actions is that it takes longer for an action to be executed the more stuff you stick into the action.. Even though the action is not long in this case, it does split the stuff that the action has to do by about half.

Plus you can use the preset outside the action as well. This gives some freedom if you want to for example temporarily make the same document with another Color Profile.

All you have to do is save your desired document settings in preset for future use.

Please see these screenshot they are self explanatory









you can select that preset which you have made earlier from the drop down for every time you need those same settings.



Hope this will help...
