This opens the dialog “New”:

We give a name for our document in the “Name” box at the top.
We can enter the width and height, resolution, plus a number of other options.
But actually, we use the Photoshop to edit pictures and use other applications such as Illustrator or Freehand, to make drawings.
But Photoshop has the “tools” (tools) to do so.

So, as I mentioned earlier, Photoshop is for photo editing.
