Photoshop Workspace - Photoshop lesson

The start with the new lessons, will be with the work-space

Photoshop Work-space
Various elements, such as panels, bars, and windows. Any arrangement of these elements is called a work-space.


Workspace basics

• You can adapt the application to the way you work by selecting from several preset work-spaces or by creating one of your own.

• Photoshop displays the Start workspace at launch or whenever no documents are open. If necessary, customize the number of recent files displayed. Select Preferences > File Handling and then specify the desired value (0-100)

• To quit this workspace, simply press the Esc key.

Workspace overview

• The Application bar across the top contains a workspace switcher, menus (Windows only), and other application controls. On the Mac for certain products, you can show or hide it using the Window menu.
• The Tools panel contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork, page elements, and so on. Related tools are grouped.
• The Options bar Control panel displays options for the currently selected tool.
• The Document window displays the file you’re working on. Document windows can be tabbed and, in certain cases, grouped and docked.
• Panels help you monitor and modify your work. Panels can be grouped, stacked, or docked.
• The Application frame groups all the workspace elements in a single, integrated window that lets you treat the application as a single unit. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Panels don’t disappear when you switch applications or when you accidentally click out of the application. If you work with two or more applications, you can position each application side by side on the screen or on multiple monitors.

If you are using a Mac and prefer the traditional, free-form user interface, you can turn off the Application frame.
