Now as we'll talk about a little later most of these Adobe applications have these floating pallets where we can click and drag the top bar here and move these around. Through these pallets we access certain features and functions of the program. Here I happen to be in Illustrator but this works equally well in InDesign, Photoshop, etc. Now this segment is going to really benefit those of you that might come back from vacation and find that co-workers have absolutely ruined your machine. So you might come back and lets say the tools pallet which we'll talk about is over here, and these pallets are just all conjumbled and mixed up - just not the way that you like to work. Well Adobe has created a way for you to save your workspace. And just like workspaces in real life, people generally like to leave things the way they like to have them. I'm here at my desk and it's a mess. It's a total mess. But if someone were to try to do me a favor and clean it up, I would be in total disarray. I have a well organized pile of trash everywhere I go. I know exactly where everything is. And so workspaces in these programs are a way of maintaining your trash. You might like things looking like this all chaotic and mixed up but that is fine. You can save it that way with the workspace. Just go to the Window menu and any applications that support workspaces, select workspace and you can select save workspace to save your workspace. And from this fly out you can usually select pre-made workspaces as well. So if we like the program just the way it comes from the factory - lets take the example of Illustrator here. Click on default. It will reset to the default workspace that shifts with Illustrator. Now I should point out that like in so many other things, workspaces in Photoshop are more powerful than in any other application. Through workspaces in Photoshop we can save keyboard shortcuts. We can customize our keyboard shortcuts and then save those as part of our workspace, and we can also customize our menu items. So as we go to these menus, as we want certain menu items to be certain colors or to be removed entirely so they don't get in our way, we can do that and save those changes in workspaces. And maybe you work alone. Maybe no one ever gets on your machine without your permission. And so maybe these are not that helpful to you. But if anyone else in the world has access to your computer, I really recommend creating your own custom workspace and saving it to remove the headache in case someone accidentally messes something up of yours.
