   Your Photoshop workspace
  I am doing some application layout prototyping using Photoshop CS, and I’m curious about best way to organize a Photoshop workspace. I currently have it set up to the default… I find myself constantly wanting to re-arrange it.Anyone here have a more interesting workspace layout then the default? Post a screenshot if possible.   
  I have the panels that I'm using at the time (info, history, actions etc.) minimised at the bottom of the screen (double click the tab to minimise). When you double click the tab they pop up, double click again and they drop away.I have the layers panel from the top of the screen to the bottom on the right side of the screen. I'm not sure if this is the best setup, but it's what I've used for a few years.   ;  I keep mine at almost default.+-+----------------+---+---+|T| | C | I || | +---+---+| || H || |+---+| || L |+-+|   ||  |   ||  |   ||  |   ||  |   |+----------------------+---+T = ToolboxC = Character PalleteI = Info PalleteH = History PalleteL = Layer PalleteThat's how mine is, which is almost default.  From default, I kill the color swatch, move the history window up, move the layer window up, then stretch the layer window to the bottom, and turn on the character pallete.I also set my undo history to like 200 or something really big.  I mess up a lot.   ;  One key some people don't notice is Tab. Tap it to hide all the floating tool windows, tap it again to bring them back.   ;  layers layers layersalways have them up   ;  Personally, I'm a huge fan of hitting F once. Lets me not have to worry about clicking off the image, or resizing its damn window. Of course, this is only useful if I'm working with one image at a time.I can never find a good home for my character window, so I usually keep him minimized down in the bottom left until I need him.Yeah, I always go to preferences and max out the undo function for whatever program I'm using.How do you survive without the color swatch?   ;Quote:Original post by benryvesOne key some people don't notice is Tab. Tap it to hide all the floating tool windows, tap it again to bring them back.Holy crap, you saved my life.For my layout, I go minimalistic:I have the Info box aligned to the bottom right. Right above that, the Swatch(minimized), and the Toolbox. They're shifted slightly left so I can see the vertical scrollbar. I have History, Layers, Character, and Paragraph pinned to the top menu.   ;Quote:Original post by Avatar GodHow do you survive without the color swatch?I use the foreground/background color things in the toolbox, or if i'm changing the color of some text, i use the color thingy in the character window.   ;  Wow. I'm going to try that. Save some nice room to show off more of my pretty layers...//edit - thank you! I love it!   ;  every toolbar in the application -> second monitortotal pwnage
