# Managing Projects and Users

Projects and users define your working environment in Smoke.

- Projects define the display environment.
- Projects provide settings for project resolution, aspect ratio, bit depth, scan mode, etc

  You typically create a project for each job you work on.

For each person working on your system, you can also create a user.

A user is a profile that maintains the following preferences:

- User interface settings
- Pen and tablet preferences
- Keyboard shortcuts
