Working Foundations in photoshop

 Working Foundations


The Tools Panel
By default, Photoshop’s Tools panel, found on the left side
of the interface, is now a single-column array of tools. This
arrangement frees up a little bit of screen space, but if you
prefer the traditional two-column Tools panel, just click

the top of the Tools panel dock to toggle between the new
single-column Tools panel and the old two-column version
(Figure 1.4).
Another change from CS3: The Quick Mask control is now
a single button (Figure 1.5) that toggles between Quick
Mask and Standard Screen Mode, and no longer includes
access to the Full Screen selector via pop-up menu. Full
Screen Mode options are found under View > Screen
Mode, as well as from the Application bar.

Photoshop CS4 no longer includes
a launch button in the Tools panel
for ImageReady (the Web graphics
application that came bundled with
Photoshop), because ImageReady
has been discontinued. Some of its
functionality has been rolled into
Photoshop, and the rest is now
included in Adobe Fireworks.
