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. |

Custom Workspaces
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, then
the name you've assigned it.
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, but they appear to have
done just that. |
