If you just click and hold on the 3 elipses on the toolbar, you can choose edit toolbar and bring them back. Now only the tools you have chosen will be visible in the tool bar. Say we are setting up a workspace just for photography and don’t necessarily need all of these tools.Ĭlick and hold on the three ellipses, choose edit toolbar and this gives us all the tools.ĭrag all the tools you don’t need to the right column. Now you can customize what’s in the toolbar. We can click this double arrow and have two column, and if we want, we can even dock it to the right side. I don’t know if you’re aware, but you can do different things that the toolbar. The right hand side is set up how we want it. If a whole group of panels open, choose the one you want and thenclick these little Xs to get rid of the rest. There’s another useful panel Window >brushes. I want them to take up just a little bit of spaceĬlick on the little menu on the arrow at the top right, we get some options, choose the auto collapse to icons. I use the libraries a lot, so I’m going to drop these to the side, though. If I work on a mask, the mask settings are going to work in here. Notice the settings for that adjustment layer going to appear in the properties panel. The Properties panel is context sensitive and can replace many panels, If I go into something like an adjustment layer. But you can also just as easily click at the bottom of the layers panel to get the same adjustments. Window>properties, the properties panel is very useful.įor example, there is an adjustments Panel. Set up different minimum spaces for different tasks you perform. Right now we’re setting up a workspace for working with photos.
Personally, all I need is Layers, Channels and Masks. Notice how these little panels in between, we can pop them open and tear them apart, or we can drag a group. Tear the panel apart, drag everything out to the middle of the screen. (Sure the color panel is useful when we are doing deep, color work, but not for general work). We can click on a color swatches and select them from the toolbar. In fact, most of these panels you don’t need at all because you can do the same thing with shortcuts and other ways.įor example, we’ve got a color panel. You don’t need a lot of these panels all the time. When you first launch Photoshop, you’re going to see something like this as your workspace, half your screen is taken up with panels. I tried searching for a solution but I have no idea what the problem is called.Ī solution would be greatly appreciated.How to set up custom workspaces inside of Photoshop. I am sure it is another feature in photoshop I have never seen yet and it is somehow opening on the original keyboard shortcut for Step Backward. I am not sure what the yellow outline or rainbow mouse pointer means. I tried changing it to something different and restoring default but Alt+Ctrl+Z still opens a yellow outline and rainbow mouse pointer. The command to Undo/Redo Ctrl+Z works perfectly though.Īt first I thought the keyboard shortcut has changed, but after checking the Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus I can confirm the command to go a Step Backward is still Alt+Ctrl+Z. A small box next to the mouse pointer shows RGB and region size in coordinates.
Today, when I opened PS and used the command for Step Backward, the command opened up a yellow outline on my entire image as well as turned my mouse pointer into a rainbow colored pointer. I have recently encountered a problem when trying to use Alt-Ctrl-Z to go a Step Backward.
