<strong>Photo</strong>shop - Zero to Sixty<br />

In this first edition of “<strong>Photo</strong>shop – Zero to Sixty” we are going to work on the layout of our desktop/<br />
workspace. It may seem simple but there are a couple of things you can do to make your life in <strong>Photo</strong>shop<br />
easier.<br />
The first thing you want to do is landscape the heck out of it. Only keep the panels and tools you really<br />
need and use on your desktop and the rest are hidden away. “But I might use that tool someday….” Don’t<br />
be a hoarder. Keep only what you need and hide the rest! If you haven’t used it in six months will, you in<br />
the next six? I would rather have space for my image I am working on than a whole bunch of garbage on<br />
the screen.<br />
Me personally, I like History, Actions and Layers on the right side attached to each other. I have Brushes,<br />
Brush Settings and <strong>Pro</strong>perties minimized but ready to go. I use these all of the time. But make it so that<br />
YOU are happy with it. Some people like to have their toolbar on the right side next to the Layer etc.<br />
Panels. Me? It doesn’t matter as I pretty much use keyboard shortcuts for all of the tools as it saves me<br />
time.<br />
