We can think of two
good uses for the new ability to create
custom workspaces in Photoshop: one is if you work in a small office
and have to share your computer with someone working a different
shift, and two if you simply want different palette arrangements for
different tasks.
To create a custom
workspace, arrange your
palettes as you
prefer them, then select Window/Workspace/Save Workspace from the
pulldown menus. Give that arrangement a name, when prompted. To call
it up in the future, all you'll need to do is select
Window/Workspace.
If your intranet resources include several folders of digital
pictures-thousands of shots taken for catalogs, perhaps-and you've
ever wasted time opening one picture and then another trying to find
the one you need. The File Browser lets you scan through your images
visually, by creating thumbnails of a whole folder. To open it,
select File/Browse from the pulldown menu. The File Browser is
initially in the palette well in the upper right corner, so you'll
want to drag in into the center of the desktop. Resize it to offer
more coverage. You'll see your folders displaying in a tree
hierarchy in the upper left corner, with the contents of each folder
in the larger page to the right.

It's All Good
Although this has been just a quick look
at some of Photoshop's new features, as you can see Adobe have put
considerable thought into the new features they have added. In some ways
it is hard to improve what is already regarded as one of the most
complete graphics creation and editing applications available.
