As I mentioned before, you access a lot of Photoshop's features and powered by using palettes. If we not seeing any palettes up, then go to Window menu and choose to show a particular palette. And if that palette is up, you can always choose Hide palettes - hide an individual palette by going to the Window menu and pulling down its name. Photoshop has a lot of palettes. I am not quite sure how many there are. But there is enough to easily fill up your screen. What I am looking at now are two collections of palettes. And to simplify this, I am just going to show you one collection of palettes. Notice that in this collection here there are actually three palettes, and I can tell that by the tabs. So I have my Layers palette, Channels and Paths. If I wanted to active a different palette, simply click on its name on the tab. So now I am looking at the Channels, and now I am looking at my Paths palette. And notice that the palette actually changes; I get different options at the bottom for each palette. You can separate these palettes if you needed to see all of three of them on your screen at the same time. And the way you would do that is click on a tab name and drag it out slowly. And you can see when I pass out of my palette box. I get a dashed square or rectangle around the tabbed palette. And that means when I let go, that palette will be taken out of this collection into its own collection. So this is a collection of one. So I'm going to try that with my Paths palette. Click and drag it out, and you can see it's been taken out of this collection and added into its own palette. If you want to mix and match other palettes, for instance you might not like the Layers and Channels and Paths palette to be in their own collection - you can drag the Color tab into this palette collection. And I'll demonstrate that again. If you want to drag a different palette into a different collection, click on the tab name. And you can see that when I get to inside the box, I get a rectangular highlight around the edge of that palette box. I will take it out, and the highlight disappears. And when I move inside the box I get the highlight. Which means when I let go, it will be added to that collection of palettes. Another option I have with palettes is creating a docking palette. And that will add palettes underneath palettes. So I will add the Style, and you can see that when I am inside, if I let go it will add it to this current collection. But if I'm at the very bottom, notice that now I get a double highlighted line. When I am at the bottom region. And that means when I let go, it adds a docked palette. I am going to try that again. Drag it to the very bottom, and there is my double highlight, let go and there is another palette that I have docked to this palette. So I am getting a super palette here. I can collapse different portions of the palette to make it easier to work on different areas by double clicking on the tab name. And you can see that it just shrinks up the rest of the palette. On the corner of many of these palettes is a small triangular icon here inside the circle. And this is an indicator that there is a palette menu. Press and hold down, and it bring up menu options specific for this particular palette. So I go to my Layers palette, just create a new layer. Now I have menu options just for my Layers palette. Some palettes have long lists of items, and that means that you will have a scroll bar at right side of your palette. So you can click and drag on that, and scroll up and down the list of items that you need to see. You could also click on these arrows to scroll up and down. If you need to resize your palette, come down to the bottom right-hand corner, and click and drag on this little area right here, and you can resize your palette. As I mentioned, many palettes have small buttons or icons at the bottom, which do various things. If you want to move the palette around your monitor, click and drag on the gray title area. And you can drag it to wherever you wish. If you want to shrink the entire palette down just to your tabs, you can click this small reduction box right here. And there is one similar to it on the Windows platform. So you can see the key to managing your desktop real estate is really understanding how you can manage and manipulate the palette, so that they don't take up too much space. But, you are seeing the tools that you need and the information you need when you need it.
