One of the most important elements of Adobe Photoshop is the menu bar, which is located at the very top of the program. The menu bar is used to open and save files, adjust the canvas size, access some editing tools, open and close various windows, and more.

The menu bar consists of 11 items: File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, Analyze, 3D, View, Window, and Help. Each of these main menus has additional submenus for related options.

You can also access most of the options in the menu bar in other ways, such as keyboard shortcuts, right-click menus, or separate menus in other windows, such as Tools, Layers, Timeline, and so on. Some options, however, require you to use the menu bar.

The File menu in Photoshop is much like the File menu in other programs. It is the primary method for creating new files, opening existing files, saving files, and printing.
