Adobe photoshop 7 workspace

You can customize your Photoshop workspace to suit you or your project-almost everything within your workspace can be repositioned and reconfigured! You might choose to customize your workspace by:

Changing the look of the menu bar You can change which menu items are visible in your menu bar, and even add color to your menu items. If you wanted, you could also assign new or different keyboard shortcuts to menu commands (which I don't recommend until you feel very comfortable with Photoshop or have a compelling reason to do so!). Go to Edit > Menus and use the dialog box to modify the menu bar and palette menus.

Moving the options bar:

If you want to move the options bar, you can do so by clicking on the handle on its left side and moving it round. The options bar will "dock" to the top or bottom of the screen automatically if moved near those areas.

Moving the toolbox:

The toolbox is extremely portable, and can be moved to any location on your screen. Move the toolbox by clicking on the gray area at the top of it and dragging it around.

Rearranging palettes:

There are many ways to rearrange your palettes. You might want to separate a palette from its palette group, and move it into another group.

You can do this by dragging the palette tab out of its original group and into the new group. You might also decide to drag some of your palette tabs into the palette well, and close the rest. To display a palette that has been closed, go to Window and select the palette you want to show.

Displaying different information in the document window status bar The status bar displays the document file size by default. The file size is shown as two numbers separated by a forward slash: the first number is an approximation of the image file size with all layers merged (known as "flattening" the image), and the second number is an approximation of the total file size of the image with layers intact.

If all this sounds new to you, don't worry. You can set the status bar to display different information, such as the document dimension in pixels, or the version number of the file. To do this, click on the arrow icon next to the status bar, select Show and choose the information you'd like to see.
