Panels, panels everywhere — do you really need them all? Maybe not just yet, but as you increase your skill level, you’ll start to take advantage of more of those Photoshop panels. Panels give you easy access to important functions. In this chapter we touch on panel organization, but if you want more details about using panels there is a fast read in Book 1, Chapter 5, “Exploring Common Panels.”

When you work in Photoshop, keep in mind these two keyboard shortcuts can help temporarily clear up distractive tools and panels while you are working:

 Press Tab to switch between hiding and showing the tools and panels.

 Press Shift+Tab to hide the panels, leaving only the Tools panel visible. Press Shift+Tab to show them again.

If you find that you are frequently using the same panels, close the less used panels that you don’t need and arrange the others onscreen where you want them.

Follow one of these three methods to close a panel:

 Choose Window ⇒ Panel’s Tab Name. If the panel name is checked, it is open; selecting the panel name in the list closes the panel.

 Click on the panel menu in the upper right of the panel and choose Close, as you see in Figure 1-7.

 Click and drag on a panel name to undock it. When undocked, the panel displays a close button (an X button in Windows or the red button on a Mac) that you can click to close the panel.

To open and relocate panels that you frequently use, choose Window ⇒ Panel’s Tab Name.
