Adobe Photoshop CS6 Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks by Lynette Kent

Create your own CUSTOMIZED WORKSPACE
The workspace in Photoshop refers to the layout of
the different panels and tools on your screen. With all
the functionality built into Photoshop, your screen
area can easily become cluttered. You can design and
save a workspace to fit your needs for a particular
project, with only the items that you use most. You
can hide others or collapse them into buttons to save
space. You can even create multiple workspaces with
different tools for different types of projects, such as
one for painting, one for design, and one for
photography.
You can move and resize individual panels. You can move
the single-column toolbar, undock it, or change it to a
two-column panel. When you select Full Screen Mode
With Menu Bar from the View menu, your image appears
as large as possible with all the tool panels available.
You can save a custom workspace and even save the
keyboard shortcuts and/or menus for that workspace.
You can start from scratch or you can modify any of
the Photoshop preconfigured workspaces. When you
alter any existing workspace, your changes are
automatically saved.
