More about panels and panel locations
Photoshop panels are powerful and varied. Rarely would you need to see all panels
simultaneously. That's why they're in panel groups, and why the default configur-
ations leave many panels unopened.
The complete list of panels appears in the Window menu. Check marks appear
next to the names of the panels that are open and active in their panel groups. You
can open a closed panel or close an open one by selecting the panel name in the
Window menu.
You can hide all panels at once—including the options bar and Tools panel—by
pressing the Tab key. To reopen them, press Tab again.
Note
When panels are hidden, a thin, semitransparent strip is visible at
the edge of the document. Hovering the pointer over the strip dis-
plays its contents.
You already used panels in the panel dock when you used the Layers and Swatches
panels. You can drag panels to or from the panel dock. This is convenient for bulky
panels or ones that you use only occasionally but want to keep handy.
