3 Press Shift+Tab to hide the panel docking area while keeping the rest of the panels visible. Press
Shift+Tab to bring the hidden panels back. Both the Tools panel and the panel docking area should now
be visible.
As you position your cursor over various tools, you see a letter to the right of the tool name in the
tooltip. This letter is the keyboard shortcut that you can use to access that tool. You could, in fact,
work with the Tools panel closed and still have access to all the tools via your keyboard.
You will hide the panels once more so that you can take advantage of a hidden feature in Photoshop
CC.
4 Press the Tab key to hide the panels. Then position your cursor over the thin gray strip where the Tools
panel had been, and pause. The Tools panel reappears. Note that the Tools panel appears only while
your cursor is in the Tools panel area, and it disappears if you move your cursor out of that area. Try
this with the panel docking area to the right of the screen, and watch as that also appears and disappears
as your cursor moves over the gray border off to the right. Keep in mind that this may not function as
expected if you are using multiple monitors.
By changing the screen modes, you can locate over-extended anchor points and select more accurately
up to the edge of your image. Changing modes can also help you present your image to clients in a
clean workspace.
5 Press the Tab key again to display all the panels.
6 Press F to cycle to the next screen mode, which is Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar. This view sur-
rounds the image out to the edge of the work area with a dark gray (even behind the docking area) and
displays only one image at a time, without tabs, and centered within the work area. You can access ad-
ditional open images by choosing the image name from the bottom of the Window menu.
You can also change your screen mode by selecting View > Screen Mode.
7 Notice that the gray background area (pasteboard) now extends to fill your entire screen and your image
is centered within that area. One of the benefits of working in this mode is that it provides more area
when working on images.
