Introduction to Advanced Navigational Features - Advanced Adobe Photoshop CC - page 16

5 Make sure that you are on the Move tool; use the left and right arrow keys to nudge the moon so the
right edges are 2 units (or eight subdivisions) away from the start of the text.
6 Use the up and down arrows to nudge the moon so it also rests on the guide.
7 When you are finished lining these items up, press Ctrl+0 (zero) (Windows) or Command+0 (zero)
(Mac OS).
Turning off and on Extras
To align items in this image, you worked with one of the Extra options available in Photoshop, but there
are many more Extra options available to you. You can activate these individually, or turn them off and
on at once.
1 Press Ctrl/Command+" (double-quote) to turn off the grid, press Ctrl/Command+" (double-quote)
again to turn the grid back on.
2 To turn off and on the Extras, Choose View Extras. The View Extras is a toggle check box: if you se-
lect it, a checkmark appears indicating that the Extras are visible. If you click it to clear the check
box, the Extras become invisible.
3 Choose View Show > All to see the applicable extra features appear, such as slices, grids, and layer
edges. Many of these are helpful, especially when building designs for applications and websites, but
not all of them are needed at the same time.
4 Choose View > Show > Show Extras Options; a dialog box appears with about 17 items. These items
are the Extras that you can turn off or on when you trigger the option to show Extras. You can leave
them all checked for this lesson.
5 Choose View > Extras to turn off the visibility of all the Extras.
6 Choose File > Save to save this file. Keep this file open for the next part of the lesson.
Customizing your panels
You can customize the panels you want to see. The panels you use depend upon your workflow and the
type of work that you produce. In this part of the lesson, you will arrange panels that are already visible
and choose to show an additional panel. As you progress through this topic, you might decide to make
changes to panels that you have arranged, and that is fine, since you can always update your saved
workspace, which you will cover in the next section.
Finding the panels you want
As an advanced user, you have been accessing panels for most of your tasks in Photoshop. You might
have some favorites that you want to have readily available, and you might also have some panels that
you choose to never use.
The easiest way to find a panel is by selecting it from the Windows menu, since you can find all the
panels at this location, including the Tools, Application frame, and the Tools option. You can also keep
most of your favorite panels open and collapse them to icons, or arrange them into logical groups.
