The Interface and Workspace panels of the Preferences offers several options of note:

 Appearance: You may find that Photoshop’s “dark interface” is not to your taste. (Try it for a while — it’ll likely grow on you.) You can select from among two lighter (and one even darker) interface appearances.

 Screen Modes: You can easily customize the look of Photoshop’s three screen modes.

 UI Font Size: If you find yourself squinting to read panel names and such, change the UI Font Size to Large and restart Photoshop. If you still have problems reading the screen, reduce the monitor’s resolution. (See Chapter 2 for details.)

 Show Channels in Color: When only one channel is active in the Channels panel, it normally shows a grayscale representation of the image. If you prefer to have the active channel appear in its own color, select this option. Keep in mind, however, that after you get comfortable working with individual channels, the default grayscale is easier to see.

 Show Menu Colors: As I discuss earlier in this chapter, you can assign colors to specific commands in the Photoshop menus. Assigning colors might make it easier for you to quickly spot and select often-used commands. Use this option to disable the color coding without having to deselect each assigned color.

 Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels: If you prefer an uncluttered workplace, here’s a great option for you! When selected, panels in icon mode (click the upper bar of a group of panels) collapse to buttons. To open a panel, click its button. When Auto-Collapse is selected, the selected panel automatically closes when you click elsewhere in Photoshop. If you need to keep a specific panel open while you work (perhaps Histogram or Info), drag it out of its group and away from the edge of the screen, and it will stay open until you close it.

 Auto-Show Hidden Panels: Position the cursor over a collapsed panel and it springs open.

 Open Documents as Tabs: Photoshop, by default, opens each document as a tab across the top of the work area. You click a tab to bring that image to the front. If you find that you’re constantly dragging tabs off to create floating windows, deselect this option in the Preferences. And if you disable tabbed image windows, you’ll likely also want to disable the Enable Floating Document Window Docking option. This prevents image windows from docking as you drag them around onscreen.
