I would like to offer you a series of articles for Adobe Photoshop covering best practice techniques to ensure the best experience of workflow with this powerful software. In this article, we will be more a handle on your workspace itself. What I mean by tame your wild workspace, it is inevitably that you continue to work with Photoshop you open that lot of pallets because different pallets perform different functions. Rather than close and reopen these palettes, follow you their on screen for the convenience. Pretty your screen will soon be a jumble of tools and palettes. Many times I've seen designers just fighting against various and pallets of various Toolkit on their screen. But don't despair. There is a way to combat this jungle of menu!
To do this you will need to take a few minutes of your time to set up your palettes and tool box exactly as you want before everything becomes a frustrating mess.
First of all, when you open a Photoshop palette, you will see that they are nested in a logical order. However, this program is also flexible that you can rearrange the palettes in the order that is logical and comfortable for you. If you double-click on the tab menu, you will notice that the palette, to expand and contract. My preference is to have the menus on the right side, reduced to a minimum and stacked on the other. Beside the palette is the Toolbox. Now that it is nice and neat, go to the "Windows" in the menu bar at the top, scroll to the "working space", and then in the fly-out menu click on the option of "save the workspace. Usually, I called my saved workspace "kai's favourite". It is great in an Office where you must share computers. Given such issues that the right or left ergonomics transmitted is resolved and same keyboard shortcuts are saved!
The next time that your screen becomes a pandemonium of pallets, scroll down to your workspace pre-saved and then presto! All snaps together carefully as if by magic! Sometimes I do this just to clear my head and give me a new start! If you want to see an example of how I organize my workspace, please see the illustration below. Ahhh... If only life was really a reset button like this!
I hope you enjoyed this article on the Adobe Photoshop workspace. Please let me know if you have questions or comments.
