In this week’s free Deke’s Techniques episode, Deke shows you how to make a multi-page document in Photoshop (CC 2015 or later) using artboards.

If the example looks familiar, it’s the source file for that keyboard shortcut catalog PDF that we a gave away last week.

In the video, you’ll see how to:

• Create a new document with an artboard or create artboards from an existing document.
 
• Why you want to use vector based objects or editable type when you create very large artboard-rich documents.
 
• How to make sure your artboards are created at the correct canvas dimensions.
 
• Why you want to get rid of that solid color layer that creating artboards generates.
 
• How to set the artboard background color.
 
• How to add new artboards and obtain the Artboard tool.

And if that doesn’t satisfy your artboard curiosity, Deke’s got an exclusive movie this week for members of Lynda.com in which he shares more of his tips and tricks for working with Photoshop CC artboards.
