1.

The first step is to start Photoshop CS by clicking the PhotoShop CS Icon on the desktop. You can also start Photoshop by choosing Start->Programs->Adobe Photoshop CS from the Windows start menu.

2.

The following image shows the Photoshop CS screen after Photoshop opens.

The first step in this exercise is to remove a palette group. Click on the Window heading in the menu bar to display the palette choices. Next, click on the check mark next to the word Navigator in the menu. The Navigator palette group should disappear from your screen.

3.

For the next step, align the three palette groups that are remaining on your screen along the bottom of the screen area. You can do this by dragging and dropping them with the thick blue bars at the top of the palette windows.

Drag the Colour palette group first, then the History and Layers palettes.

The resulting Photoshop screen should look like this:

4.

For the next step, drag the toolbox across the screen to the right edge (using the thick blue bar at the top of the toolbox). Now drag the Paths palette (by its name tab) up to the palette well and drop it there. The border around the palette well will become darker and thicker when the palette that is being placed there is ready to be dropped.

Your Photoshop screen should now look something like this.

5.

To save this workspace setup, choose Window->Workspace->Save Workspace from the menu bar.

6.

You should now see the following Save Workspace dialog.

Type Practice workspace in the name field, and click the Save button to save the workspace.

7.

Now, choose Window ->Workspace->Reset Palette Locations from the menu bar. The Photoshop CS screen should revert to its original configuration.

8.

To switch immediately to your saved preset, choose Window ->Workspace->Practice workspace from the menu bar.

The Photoshop CS screen should be immediately reconfigured to your preset workspace layout.

Notice that the name of your workspace preset (Practice workspace) has been added to the Workspace submenu.

9.

Choose File->Exit from the Photoshop CS menu bar (or use the close button in the upper right) to close the Photoshop CS program.

When you restart Photoshop CS, your saved workspace preset will still be available.

To remove a saved workspace choose Window->Workspace->Delete

Workspace from the menu bar.

In the delete workspace dialog box, select the workspace preset that you want to remove from the drop list and click the Delete button.
