File menu

The File menu makes it easy to create, open and save projects without having to change screen.

On the left of the menu you can see the main project commands:

New Project - creates a new project. PhotoKey can only have one project open at a time, so you will be asked to save your current project file before creating a new one.
Open - opens a project file you've previously saved on your computer.
Save - saves your current project so that your work is safe. If it is the first time you have saved the project you will need to choose a location for the file.
Save As - if you want to create an alternate version of your current project file, this will create a new project file under a different name. After using Save As, the Save option will use the new filename and location instead of the original.
Revert - discards any changes you have made and reloads your current project.
Export Canvas - exports the currently displayed image using your export settings.
Email Canvas - displays the email send window for the currently displayed image.
Page Setup [Mac only] - opens the page setup controls of the Mac OS X print manager.
Print Preview [Mac only] - opens the Mac OS X print preview window.
Print Canvas - sends the currently displayed image to the default printer system.

On the right of the File menu are your recently saved projects.

The Options button is where you can change PhotoKey's preferences.

The Exit button is another way to close the application when you've finished working on your masterpiece for the day.
