Name In this text box, you can modify the displayed template name.
Icon By clicking on this icon, you open a list of icons. You can choose one of them to illustrate the selected template name.
Image size Here you set the width and height of the new image. The default units are pixels, but you can switch to some other
unit if you prefer, using the adjoining menu. If you do, note that the resulting pixel size will be determined by the X and Y
resolution (which you can change in the Advanced Options), and by the setting of "Dot for Dot", which you can change in
the View menu.

Note
Please keep in mind, that every Pixel of an image is stored in the memory. If you’re creating large files with a
high density of pixels, GIMP will need some time for every function you’re applying to the image.

Portrait/Landscape buttons These buttons toggle between Portrait and Landscape mode. Concretely, their effect is to exchange
the values for Width and Height. If the X and Y resolutions are different (in Advanced Options), then these values are
exchanged also. On the right, image size, image resolution and color space are displayed.

X and Y resolution These values come into play mainly in relation to printing: they do not affect the size of the image in pixels,
but they determine its size on paper when printed. They can also affect the way the image is displayed on the monitor: if
‘Dot for Dot’ is switched off in the View menu, then at 100% zoom, GIMP attempts to display the image on the monitor
at the correct physical size, as calculated from the pixel dimensions and the resolution. The display may not be accurate,
however, unless the monitor has been calibrated. This can be done either when GIMP is installed, or from the

Colorspace You can create the new image as either an RGB image or a grayscale image. You cannot create an indexed image
directly in this way, but of course nothing prevents you from converting the image to indexed mode after it has been created.
Fill You have four choices for the solid color that will fill the new image’s background layer:
