If you’re using Photoshop, you may have noticed that your artboard (the white area on the screen where you draw or paste images) is usually a light color. This is because Photoshop uses a default white background for all artboards. If you want to change the background color for an individual artboard, follow these steps:

  1. In the Tools panel, click the Artboard Options button (it looks like a wrench).
  2. In the Artboard Options dialog box, click the Background tab.
  3. In the Background section, select a different color for your artboard background. ..
