Photoshop Workspace Presets

When you're becoming familiar with Photoshop, you will discover that different palette layouts work better for different tasks. For example, when you're working on an image, you may find that you prefer to have the Brushes palette extend all the way down the right side of your workspace. Also you might find that hiding most of the other palettes is preferable. Also, when you are painting, you might prefer to place your Color, Swatches, and Brushes palettes along the right portion of your screen. While having these presets, you can also save it so that Photoshop will remember where exactly you place your palettes at the time you saved the preset. Saving a preset is just choosing Window > Workspace > Save Workspace. Then you can give it a memorable name. Also, you can switch between different saved presets, just choose the name of the workspace you want under the Window > Workspace menu. The feature that will let you save presets is great for those who have to share computer with others because each user can have different preferences on where to place each palettes. In that way, every user can quickly swap between workspaces.
