Navigating the Work Area

      Navigating in Photoshop isn’t much different than getting around in other Adobe applications. Most Creative Cloud applications make extensive use of panels. In the following sections, you have an opportunity to experience the Photoshop workspace and configure those panels.

As a default, you are in the Essentials workspace, as shown in Figure 1-5. If you are happy with the panels that appear while in that workspace there is no reason to change your workspace at this time.

      Changing your workspace

As you improve your skills, you may want to try some of the other workspaces that Photoshop offers. Workspaces simply show or hide different panels and tools based upon the tasks you are hoping to complete. For instance, if you choose Window⇒ Workspace, as shown in Figure 1-6, you can choose between workspaces that are specifically set up to help you with 3D editing, graphics and web, motion graphics, painting, and photography. We show you how you can create your own custom workspace later in this chapter.
