Displacing Textures
Palettes which are on the screen but hidden behind another palette in a group can be brought to the front from this menu. Clicking on the palette’s name toggles it to show or hide. Palettes that are showing have a check mark next to their name. Clicking the name of a checked palette will either close it to the palette well, or remove it entirely from the window.
From the Documents command at the top of the Windows menu, you can find a list of all open images. If you have a bunch of pictures open, all stacked on top of each other, clicking the name of the one you want will bring it to the front.
Tile will arrange multiple images within the window without overlapping them. If you have a lot of pictures open, this will mean each document’s window will be very small, but they will not overlap. Cascade overlaps pictures but allows a fair amount of each underlying picture to remain showing.
The New Window command in the Documents menu can be useful if you are doing close retouching. It allows you to open a second version of the same picture which can be kept at a different degree of magnification. Therefore you can be zoomed way in on your picture while also seeing the results of your edits at normal (100 %) view.
The last, basic advice that I have for you is, choose Help > Photoshop
Help and use Adobe’s online help. The index and contents are a little
bit confusing, but the Search feature works quite well. There is a wealth
of step by step information there that’s not found in the print manual.
Please note: if you wish to email me, do not send attachments. My server is set up to delete any mail over a modest size, so I will never see your mail. Please ask before sending any pictures or attachments of any kind.
