We will discuss the
MENU BAR
,
TOOL BAR
and
OPTIONS BAR
as we need them, but
this would be a good time to talk about the
PANELS
. When you are new to Photoshop, it
is easy to accidentally close a
Panel
that you need. If you don't know how to get it back,
you may spend a lot of time searching. A few minutes spent studying these next few im-
ages may save you a lot of time and frustration down the road.
At this point, you don't need to know what each
Panel
does — that will come in time with
experience. What is important now, is knowing that you can always return the Panels to
their original positions by selecting a Preset Workspace from the Drop-Down Menu in the
upper right corner of the interface.
Additional Panels can be opened by selecting them from the
Window
drop down menu
(
Figure 6
). If you click on another
Panel
in the
Window
drop-down menu, it will appear
in your workspace and it will be checked in the drop-down menu.
