5. Working with PhotoLine

## 5.3 Create Your First Image

For your first steps in PhotoLine you need a picture. You can create an image in several ways:

- The function File/New/New Picture... creates a new, empty picture.
- File/Open... loads a picture from the harddisk, a CD-ROM or a flash-key.
- File/Import/Scan... reads an image from a scanner or a digital camera.
- Edit/Paste as Document reads an image from the clipboard.
- File/Browse... reads the content of a folder on your harddisk and shows a small preview of all images in this folder. By double-clicking one of these previews you can open the according image.
- You can drag an image file to the PhotoLine icon. On Windows it is possible to drag an image file to the main window, too.
- On Windows it is possible to assign file types to PhotoLine with Options/File/File Formats. Double-clicking an image of a previously assigned type in the Explorer automatically launches PhotoLine.
