Customizing your workspace

Your workspace can be customized in many ways to suit your task. For example, if you want to create a workspace with only the pallets that you use for your image retouching work, you can add and remove pallets and even adjust the way that they appear.

• To add a new palette to the workspace, enable it in the Window menu.
• To remove a palette to the workspace, click on the close icon (the X at the upper-right corner of the tab) or uncheck it from the Window menu.

Expanding and collapsing docks

A dock holds a group of palettes in generally a vertical orientation. Docks can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the button.

• Click on the button to collapse the dock. The palettes will turn into buttons and can be accessed by clicking on the buttons.
• Click on the button to expand the dock. The palettes will appear at the expanded size for quick access without clicking.

The Tools palette cannot be expanded or removed but it can display the icons in two columns instead of one when you click the button.

Docking and stacking palettes

Palettes can be docked or undocked by moving them into or out of a dock. They can also be stacked with other palettes by moving them into the stack.

• To dock a palette, drag the tab or button into the drop zone.
  
  
• To move a palette into a stack, drag the tab or button into the palette you want to stack with.
  
• To rearrange a palette in a stack, click on the tab and drag it to the position you want the palette to appear.
