Being creative with your work is one thing, but with complex
projects requiring multiple elements to get up and running, it's
nice to see that Adobe have spent some time tweaking and
improving the management and organization tools of Photoshop.
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. |

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.
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. |
