the mouse ready to click the Layers panel's tab to switch over to it from the Histogram panel. To
remove a panel from a group, simply drag its tab out of the group. To return everything to how it
looked when you first entered the Custom Workspace, go to Window→Reset Panels.
The first time you call up one of the panels that's not initially displayed in the Custom Work-
space (by selecting its name in either the Window menu or the menu that appears when you
click the down arrow on the right side of the More button), you get the same floating panel
group that you get in the Basic Workspace ( Understanding Expert Mode ) . Luckily, you can
fix this in a jiffy. Just pull the panels you want loose from the clump. After that, Elements
will remember what you did, and those panels will appear right where you left them last
time. So the first time you call up the History panel, for instance, you get the six-panel
group. But if you separate the History panel from the group, from then on, when you go to
Window→History or click the arrow next to the More button and choose History, all you get
is the panel you want, not the whole clump. You can put the panel in the bin, leave it float-
ing, or combine it with another panel, and that's exactly how it will appear next time.
NOTE
If you've floated any panels, clicking the More button closes them. You can click the ar-
row on the right side of this button to display the pop-out menu and make choices there,
but click the main part of the button and everything is gone. Click the button again to
bring everything back.
To close a floating panel, click its Close button (the X at its upper right [in Windows] or up-
per left [on a Mac]), or click the little white square made of four horizontal lines in the pan-
el's upper right, and then choose Close.
NOTE
Confusingly, Adobe sometimes refers to floating panels as “tabs” in Elements' menus. So,
for example, when you click the four-line square on a floating panel, you see a Close Tab
Group option instead of a Close Panel Group option.
