The workspaceincludes menus and a variety of tools and palettes for viewing, editing, and adding elements to your images.Workspace basicsWorkspace overviewYou create and manipulate your documents and files using various elements such as panels, bars, and windows. Anyarrangement of these elements is called a workspace. When you first start an Adobe Creative Suite component, yousee the default workspace, which you can customize for the tasks you perform there. For instance, you can create oneworkspace for editing and another for viewing, save them, and switch between them as you work. You can restore the default workspace at any time by choosing the default option on the Window > Workspace menu.Although default workspaces vary across Flash, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, and Photoshop, you manipulate theelements much the same way in all of them. The Photoshop default workspace is typical: The menu bar across the top organizes commands under menus. The Tools panel (called the Tools palette in Photoshop) contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork,page elements, and so on. Related tools are grouped together. The Control panel (called the options bar in Photoshop) displays options for the currently selected tool. (Flash hasno Control panel.) The Document window (called the Stage in Flash) displays the file youre working on. Panels (called palettes in Photoshop) help you monitor and modify your work. Examples include the Timeline inFlash and the Layers palette in Photoshop. Certain panels are displayed by default, but you can add any panel byselecting it from the Window menu. Many panels have menus with panel-specific options. Panels can be grouped,stacked, or docked. 22. PHOTOSHOP CS3 15User Guide A B CDEGF HDefault Photoshop workspaceA. Document window B.

(Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, Photoshop) To hide or show all panels except the Tools panel and options bar orControl panel, press Shift+Tab.You can temporarily display panels hidden by these techniques by moving the pointer to the edge of the applicationwindow (Windows) or to the edge of the monitor (Mac OS) and hovering over the strip that appears. (Flash) To hide or show all panels, press F4.Display panel menu options Position the pointer on the panel menu iconin the upper-right corner of the panel, and press the mousebutton.(Illustrator) Adjust panel brightness In User Interface preferences, move the Brightness slider. This control affects all panels, including the Controlpanel. 23. PHOTOSHOP CS3 16User GuideReconfigure the Tools panelYou can display the tools in the Tools panel in a single column, or side by side in two columns.In InDesign, you also can switch from single-column to double-column display by setting an option in Interfacepreferences. Click the double arrow at the top of the Tools panel.Customize the workspaceTo create a custom workspace, move and manipulate panels (called palettes in Photoshop and in Adobe CreativeSuite 2 components).ABCNarrow blue drop zone indicates Color panel will be docked on its own above Layers panel group.A. Title bar B. Tab C. Drop zoneYou can save custom workspaces and switch among them. In Photoshop, you can change the font size of the text in the options bar, palettes, and tool tips. Choose a size fromthe UI Font Size menu in General preferences.Note: For a video on customizing the workspace in Illustrator, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0032. For a video on custom-izing the workspace in InDesign, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0065.Dock and undock panelsA dock is a collection of panels or panel groups displayed together, generally in a vertical orientation. You dock andundock panels by moving them into and out of a dock.Note: Docking is not the same as stacking. A stack is a collection of free-floating panels or panel groups, joined top tobottom. To dock a panel, drag it by its tab into the dock, at the top, bottom, or in between other panels. To dock a panel group, drag it by its title bar (the solid empty bar above the tabs) into the dock. To remove a panel or panel group, drag it out of the dock by its tab or title bar. You can drag it into another dockor make it free-floating. 24. PHOTOSHOP CS3 17User GuideNavigator panel being dragged out to new dock, indicated by blue vertical highlightNavigator panel now in its own dockTo prevent panels from filling all space in a dock, drag the bottom edge of the dock up so it no longer meets the edgeof the workspace.Move panelsAs you move panels, you see blue highlighted drop zones, areas where you can move the panel. For example, you canmove a panel up or down in a dock by dragging it to the narrow blue drop zone above or below another panel. If youdrag to an area that is not a drop zone, the panel floats freely in the workspace. To move a panel, drag it by its tab. To move a panel group or a stack of free-floating panels, drag the title bar.Press Ctrl (Windows) or Control (Mac OS) while moving a panel to prevent it from docking.Add and remove docks and panelsIf you remove all panels from a dock, the dock disappears. You can create new docks by moving panels to drop zonesnext to existing docks or at the edges of the workspace. To remove a panel, click its close icon (the X at the upper-right corner of the tab), or deselect it from the Window menu. To add a panel, select it from the Window menu and dock it wherever you wish.Manipulate panel groups To move a panel into a group, drag the panels tab to the highlighted drop zone at the top of the group. 25. PHOTOSHOP CS3 18 User GuideAdding a panel to a panel group To rearrange panels in a group, drag a panels tab to a new location in the group. To remove a panel from a group so that it floats freely, drag the panel by its tab outside the group. To make a panel appear at the front of its group, click its tab. To move grouped panels together, drag their title bar (above the tabs).Stack free-floating panelsWhen you drag a panel out of its dock but not into a drop zone, the panel floats freely, allowing you to position itanywhere in the workspace. Panels may also float in the workspace when first selected from the Window menu. Youcan stack free-floating panels or panel groups together so that they move as a unit when you drag the topmost titlebar. (Panels that are part of a dock cannot be stacked or moved as a unit in this way.)Free-floating stacked panels To stack free-floating panels, drag a panel by its tab to the drop zone at the bottom of another panel. To change the stacking order, drag a panel up or down by its tab.Note: Be sure to release the tab over the narrow drop zone between panels, rather than the broad drop zone in a title bar. To remove a panel or panel group from the stack, so that it floats by itself, drag it out by its tab or title bar.Resize or minimize panels To resize a panel, drag any side of the panel or drag the size box at its lower-right corner. Some panels, such as theColor panel in Photoshop, cannot be resized by dragging. To change the width of all the panels in a dock, drag the gripper at the top left of the dock. To minimize a panel, panel group, or stack of panels, click the Minimize button in its title bar.You can open a panel menu even when the panel is minimized. 26. PHOTOSHOP CS3 19User GuideMinimize buttonManipulate panels collapsed to iconsCollapse panels to icons to reduce clutter on the workspace. (In some cases, panels are collapsed to icons in thedefault workspace.) Click a panel icon to expand the panel. You can expand only one panel or panel group at a time.Panels collapsed to iconsPanels expanded from icons To collapse or expand all panels in a dock, click the double arrow at the top of the dock. To resize panel icons so that you see only the icons (and not the labels), drag the gripper at the top of the docktoward the icons until the text disappears. (To display the icon text again, drag the gripper away from the panels.) To expand a single panel icon, click it. To collapse an expanded panel back to its icon, click its tab, its icon, or the double arrow in the panels title bar.If you select Auto-Collapse Icon Panels from the Interface or User Interface Options preferences, an expanded panelicon will collapse automatically when you click away from it. To add a panel or panel group to an icon dock, drag it in by its tab or title bar. (Panels are automatically collapsedto icons when added to an icon dock.) To move a panel icon (or panel icon group), drag the bar that appears above the icon. You can drag panel icons upand down in the dock, into other docks (where they appear in the panel style of that dock), or outside the dock(where they appear as free-floating, expanded panels). 27. PHOTOSHOP CS3 20User GuideSave, delete, and switch between workspacesBy saving the current size and position of panels as a named workspace, you can restore that workspace even if youmove or close a panel.
