- 1 The toolbox (See
it)
- contains a button for each tool
- some tools are hidden behind others
- the selected tool's preferences are in the options bar
- notice the short cut key for each tool
- Pallets
- the three big ones are:
- information - displays information about the current selectoin
- history - a list of actions that can be undone
- layers - contains a list of the layers in the current document ( more on that later)
- Menus -found across the top - contain a list of all functions available in Photoshop
- Preferences - three changes I suggest
- turn up the history (this can affect the size though)
- turn off "Maxmize PSD file compatability"
- Cache levels - turn this up to 6 - this will make the program run faster
- Reset pallet locations - this standardizes the location and visibility of the pallets
- Reset all tools - right-click on the active tool
