In the latest version of Photoshop CC, Adobe has made this first step easier and more intuitive by introducing a new Start screen as well as a new Recent Files panel.<\/p>\n<p>The Start screen gives us quick access to  our most recently-opened files, along with options for opening other files, creating new documents, and more. It appears every time we launch Photoshop and whenever we close out of a document (with no other documents still open on the screen). The Recent Files panel offers many of the  same options as the Start screen but without needing to close out of the document. Let's see how they work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<aside><p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n<section>\n<h3>The New Start Screen<\/h3>\n<p>If you've been using Photoshop for a while, including earlier versions of Photoshop CC, the new Start screen may seem a bit confusing at first, not because of what you're seeing but rather for what you're <em>not<\/em> seeing. Traditionally when opening Photoshop, we've been greeted by the familiar Tools panel along the left and a larger column of panels along the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/photoshop-essentials-workspace.jpg\" alt=\"The traditional Essentials workspace in Photoshop. \" width=\"699\" height=\"396\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The standard Photoshop workspace.<\/div>\n<p>Now, when we launch Photoshop, all of those panels are missing; no Tools panel, no Layers panel, nothing. In their place is a list of recently-opened files in the center of the screen. This is Photoshop's new Start screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/photoshop-start-workspace.jpg\" alt=\"The new Start screen in Photoshop CC 2015.

You'll find it already selected in the <strong>Workspace<\/strong> option in the upper right of the screen. As I mentioned, Photoshop now switches by default to this new Start workspace each time we launch Photoshop and whenever we close out of a document (as long as there are no other documents still open). We'll learn how to change this default behavior a bit later:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/new-start-workspace.gif\" alt=\"The new Start workspace.

Along the bottom of the Start screen is a collection of cards you can click on to learn more about what's new in Photoshop, view various tutorials, add free assets to your Creative Cloud libraries, and more. There's also a convenient search box for finding royalty-free stock images and graphics from Adobe Stock (Adobe's new stock image service).<\/p>\n<p>But the main feature of the new Start screen is its <strong>Recent Files<\/strong> list, which displays a list of recently-opened images and documents. Depending on the number of files in the list, you may need to use the scroll bar along the right of the list to scroll through it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/photoshop-cc-start-screen.jpg\" alt=\"The new Start screen in Photoshop CC 2015. Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"694\" height=\"436\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Recent Files list in the center of the Start screen.<\/div>\n<p>By default, the files are displayed as a text-based list, showing only the names of the files, but we can also view them as thumbnails. If you look directly above the column of file names, you'll see two icons. Clicking the icon on the left will select <strong>List View<\/strong> (the text-based view we're already seeing). Click the icon to its right (as I'm going to do) to switch  to <strong>Thumbnail View<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/thumbnail-view-icon.gif\" alt=\"The List View and Thumbnail View icons.

Note that if you're not seeing some (or any) of your thumbnails, it's because you first need to open a file in this latest version of Photoshop for its thumbnail to appear:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/recent-files-thumbnail-view.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing the Recent Files list as thumbnails.

This is the same as selecting <strong>Open<\/strong> from the <strong>File<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/start-screen-open-button.jpg\" alt=\"The Open button in the Start screen in Photoshop CC 2015.

I'll close my document by going up to the <strong>File<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choosing <strong>Close<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/file-close.gif\" alt=\"Selecting Close from under the File menu in Photoshop.

One way to do that is by clicking on the word <strong>PRESETS<\/strong> in the upper left:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/select-presets.jpg\" alt=\"Selecting the Presets option in the Start screen. Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"421\" height=\"227\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Switching from Recent Files to Presets.<\/div>\n<p>This opens a list of preset document sizes that we can choose from, including common sizes for print, web, mobile devices, and more. To choose one, select it from the list. If none of these preset sizes will work, choose <strong>Custom Document<\/strong> from the bottom of the list (as I'm going to do):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/preset-document-sizes.gif\" alt=\"Choosing the Custom Document option in the Presets list. Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"698\" height=\"478\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking Custom Document at the bottom of the Presets list.<\/div>\n<p>This will open Photoshop's New dialog box where you can enter the exact dimensions you need. When you click OK, Photoshop will close the Start screen and open your new document. When you're done working in your new document and close out of it, you'll be returned once again to the Start screen. In my case, I don't really want to open a new document so I'll click the <strong>Cancel<\/strong> button to  close out of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/photohop-new-dialog-box.gif\" alt=\"The New dialog box in Photoshop CC 2015. Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"568\" height=\"413\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The New dialog box.<\/div>\n<p>If you need to create a new Photoshop document and you already know that none of the preset sizes will work, you can skip the presets list entirely and jump straight to the New dialog box by clicking the <strong>New<\/strong> button. This is the same as selecting <strong>New<\/strong> from the <strong>File<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/start-screen-new-bottun.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the New button in the Start screen in Photoshop CC 2015.

Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"373\" height=\"176\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking on \"RECENT FILES\".<\/div>\n<p>This returns you to your Recent Files list. You may have noticed that, along with the RECENT FILES and PRESETS options, there's also a LIBRARIES option. This option allows you to manage your Creative Cloud libraries from the Start screen. Libraries are a bit beyond the scope of this tutorial so we'll cover them in a separate tutorial:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/returned-to-recent-files.jpg\" alt=\"Selecting the RECENT FILES option.

To get to the Preferences, on a Windows PC, go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Preferences<\/strong> way down at the bottom of the list, and then choose <strong>General<\/strong>. On a Mac, go up to the <strong>Photoshop<\/strong> menu, choose <strong>Preferences<\/strong>, and then choose <strong>General<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/preferences-general.gif\" alt=\"Opening the General Preferences in Photoshop.

By default, this option is selected (checked). If you don't want the Start screen to appear, simply uncheck this option. If you decide later that you want to turn it back on, you can return to the Preferences and re-select it. Note that you'll need to quit and restart Photoshop for the change to take effect:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/preferences-start-workspace.gif\" alt=\"The new Show Start Workspace When No Documents Are Open option in the Preferences.

By default, the Recent Files panel is turned off, so let's keep it off for a moment and see how things have traditionally worked without it. I'll re-open my document by once again clicking on its thumbnail in the Start screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/reopen-file.jpg\" alt=\"Re-opening the document from the Start screen in Photoshop.

To do that, I would go up to the <strong>File<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen and choose <strong>Open<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/file-open.gif\" alt=\"Going to File &gt; Open. Image \u00a9 2015 Steve Patterson, Photoshop Essentials.com\" width=\"266\" height=\"134\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to File &gt; Open.<\/div>\n<p>Traditionally, this would open the File Explorer on a Windows PC or the Finder on a Mac where I could select or navigate to the file I need on my computer's hard drive. This is still the default behavior in Photoshop CC 2015, but as we'll see in a moment, there's now a new option:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/open-dialog-box.jpg\" alt=\"A Finder window open in Mac OSX.

As I mentioned, by default the Recent Files panel is turned off. To turn it on, all we need to do is enable it in Photoshop's Preferences.  To get to the Preferences, once again go to <strong>Edit<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Preferences<\/strong> &gt; <strong>General<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Photoshop<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Preferences<\/strong> &gt; <strong>General<\/strong> (Mac). Then, look for the new option that says <strong>Show &quot;Recent Files&quot; Workspace When Opening a File<\/strong>. You'll find it directly below the new 'Show &quot;Start&quot; Workspace' option that we looked at a moment ago. Select the option by clicking inside its checkbox:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/show-recent-files-workspace.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Show Recent Files Workspace When Opening a File option.

I'll go ahead and restart my copy of Photoshop, and then with my document also re-opened, I'll once again go up to the <strong>File<\/strong> menu and chose <strong>Open<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/start-recent-files\/file-open.gif\" alt=\"Going back up to File &gt; Open.
