Learn how to navigate and use the Adobe Photoshop workspace.

If you're wondering whether Photoshop or Lightroom is the right application for your requirements, this article will help you decide: Choosing the right photo app.

You create and manipulate your documents and files using various elements, such as panels, bars, and windows. Any arrangement of these elements is called a workspace. (The workspaces of different Adobe creative applications share similar appearances so that you can move between the applications easily.) You can adapt Photoshop to the way you work by selecting from several preset workspaces or by creating one of your own.

Home screen

Updated in Photoshop 23.0 (October 2021 release)

When you launch Photoshop, the Home screen appears, which includes the following:

  • Information about new features.
  • A wide range of tutorials to help you quickly learn and understand the concept, workflow, tips, and tricks.
  • Display and access to your recent documents. If necessary, customize the number of recent files displayed. Select Preferences > File Handling and then specify the desired value (0-100) in the Recent File List Contains field.

The contents of the Home screen are tailored based on your familiarity with Photoshop and your Creative Cloud membership plan.

Photoshop Home screen
Photoshop Home screen

To access the Home screen at any point while working on a Photoshop document, click the Home icon in the Options bar. To exit the Home screen, simply press the Esc key.

The Home screen shows the following tabs and buttons on the left:

New file: Click this button to create a new document. You can create a document by selecting one of the numerous templates and presets available in Photoshop.

Open: Click this button to open an existing document in Photoshop.

Home: Click this tab to open the Home screen.

Learn: Click this tab to open a list of basic and advanced tutorials on Photoshop to get started with the application.

Files: Files section shows you all your files

  • Lightroom Photos: Click this tab to access your synced Lightroom photos and import them into a Photoshop document.
  • Your files : View a list of all saved cloud documents in Photoshop, whether created in Photoshop on your desktop, iPad, or web.
  • Shared with you: View a list of the cloud documents that have been shared with you in Photoshop.

To learn more about cloud documents, see Photoshop cloud documents | Common questions.

Deleted: Find a complete list of cloud documents that you have deleted here. You can choose to restore the documents or permanently delete them.

Workspace overview

  • The Application bar across the top contains a workspace switcher, menus (Windows only), and other application controls. On the Mac for certain products, you can show or hide it using the Window menu.

  • The Tools panel contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork, page elements, and so on. Related tools are grouped.

  • The Options barControl panel displays options for the currently selected tool.

  • The Document window displays the file you're working on. Document windows can be tabbed and, in certain cases, grouped and docked.

  • Panels help you monitor and modify your work. Panels can be grouped, stacked, or docked.

  • The Application frame groups all the workspace elements in a single, integrated window that lets you treat the application as a single unit. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Panels don't disappear when you switch applications or when you accidentally click out of the application. If you work with two or more applications, you can position each application side by side on the screen or on multiple monitors.

    If you are using a Mac and prefer the traditional, free-form user interface, you can turn off the Application frame.

Usability features

The Photoshop workspace is easy to use and includes a number of usability features:

  • Different brightness levels: Choose Edit > Preference (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS) and select a Color Theme swatch in the Interface section.

To quickly decrease brightness, press Shift + 1; to increase brightness, press Shift + 2. (On Mac OS, it's necessary to also press the FN key.)

  • On-image displays: Stay informed as you use your favorite tools. On-image displays show selection dimensions, transformation angles, and more. To change the placement of the displays, choose an option from the Show Transformation Values in the Interface preferences.
  • Maximized screen space: Click the button at the bottom of the toolbar to switch between Standard and Fullscreen display modes.
  • Set UX color: You can customize the interface to sport one of the following color themes: Black, Dark Gray, Medium Gray and Light Gray. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Interface.
    2. Choose the desired color theme.
Available Color Theme options
Available Color Theme options
  • To hide or show all panels, including the Tools panel and Control panel, press Tab.

  • To hide or show all panels except the Tools panel and Control panel, press Shift+Tab.

You can temporarily display hidden panels if Auto-Show Hidden Panels is selected in Interface preferences. Move the pointer to the edge of the application window (Windows) or to the edge of the monitor (Mac OS) and hover over the strip that appears.

Display panel options

  • Click the panel menu icon Panel menu icon in the upper-right corner of the panel.

You can open a panel menu even when the panel is minimized.

In Photoshop, you can change the font size of the text in panels and tooltips. In the Interface preferences, choose a size from the UI Font Size menu. To scale the entire Photoshop UI based on the UI Font Size you've chosen, select the Scale UI To Font.

You can display the tools in the Tools panel in a single column, or side by side in two columns.

  • Click the double arrow at the top of the Tools panel.

Manage windows and panels

You can create a custom workspace by moving and manipulating Document windows and panels. You can also save workspaces and switch among them.

Rearrange, dock, or float document windows

When you open more than one file, the Document windows are tabbed.

  • To rearrange the order of tabbed Document windows, drag a window's tab to a new location in the group.
  • To undock (float or untab) a Document window from a group of windows, drag the window's tab out of the group.

You can also choose Window > Arrange > Float in Window to float a single Document window, or Window > Arrange > Float All In Windows to float all of the Document windows at once.

  • To dock a Document window to a separate group of Document windows, drag the window into the group.

  • To create groups of stacked or tiled documents, drag the window to one of the drop zones along the top, bottom, or sides of another window. You can also select a layout for the group by using the Layout button on the Application bar.

  • To switch to another document in a tabbed group when dragging a selection, drag the selection over the document's tab for a moment.

Dock and undock panels

A dock is a collection of panels or panel groups displayed together, generally in a vertical orientation. You dock and undock panels by moving them into and out of a dock.

  • To dock a panel, drag it by its tab into the dock, at the top, bottom, or in between other panels.

  • To dock a panel group, drag it by its title bar (the solid empty bar above the tabs) into the dock.

  • To remove a panel or panel group, drag it out of the dock by its tab or title bar. You can drag it into another dock or make it free-floating.

You can prevent panels from filling all the space in a dock. Drag the bottom edge of the dock up so it no longer meets the edge of the workspace.

Move panels

As you move panels, you see blue highlighted drop zones, areas where you can move the panel. For example, you can move a panel up or down in a dock by dragging it to the narrow blue drop zone above or below another panel. If you drag to an area that is not a drop zone, the panel floats freely in the workspace.

The position of the mouse (rather than the position of the panel) activates the drop zone, so if you can't see the drop zone, try dragging the mouse to the place where the drop zone should be.

  • To move a panel, drag it by its tab.

  • To move a panel group, drag the title bar.

Narrow blue drop zone indicates Color panel will be docked on its own above the Layers panel group.

Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while moving a panel to prevent it from docking. Press Esc while moving the panel to cancel the operation.

Add and remove panels

If you remove all panels from a dock, the dock disappears. You can create a dock by moving panels to the right edge of the workspace until a drop zone appears.

  • To remove a panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) its tab and then select Close, or deselect it from the Window menu.

  • To add a panel, select it from the Window menu and dock it wherever you want.

Manipulate panel groups

  • To move a panel into a group, drag the panel's tab to the highlighted drop zone in the group.

Adding a panel to a panel group
  • To rearrange panels in a group, drag a panel's tab to a new location in the group.

  • To remove a panel from a group so that it floats freely, drag the panel by its tab outside the group.

  • To move a group, drag the title bar (the area above the tabs).

Stack floating panels

When you drag a panel out of its dock but not into a drop zone, the panel floats freely. The floating panel allows you to position it anywhere in the workspace. You can stack floating panels or panel groups so that they move as a unit when you drag the topmost title bar.

Free-floating stacked panels
Free-floating stacked panels
  • To stack floating panels, drag a panel by its tab to the drop zone at the bottom of another panel.

  • To change the stacking order, drag a panel up or down by its tab.

Be sure to release the tab over the narrow drop zone between panels, rather than the broad drop zone in a title bar.

  • To remove a panel or panel group from the stack, so that it floats by itself, drag it out by its tab or title bar.

Resize panels

  • To minimize or maximize a panel, panel group, or stack of panels, double-click a tab. You can also double-click the tab area (the empty space next to the tabs).

  • To resize a panel, drag any side of the panel. Some panels, such as the Color panel cannot be resized by dragging.

Collapse and expand panel icons

You can collapse panels to icons to reduce clutter on the workspace. In some cases, panels are collapsed to icons in the default workspace.

Panels expanded from icons
Panels expanded from icons
  • To collapse or expand all panel icons in a column, click the double arrow at the top of the dock.

  • To expand a single panel icon, click it.

  • To resize panel icons so that you see only the icons (and not the labels), adjust the width of the dock until the text disappears. To display the icon text again, make the dock wider.

  • To collapse an expanded panel back to its icon, click its tab, its icon, or the double arrow in the panel's title bar.

  • To add a floating panel or panel group to an icon dock, drag it in by its tab or title bar. (Panels are automatically collapsed to icons when added to an icon dock.)
  • To move a panel icon (or panel icon group), drag the icon. You can drag panel icons up and down in the dock, into other docks (where they appear in the panel style of that dock), or outside the dock (where they appear as floating icons).

Prevent accidental panel moves with Lock Workspace

Introduced in the October 2018 release of Photoshop CC (version 20.0)

Use the Lock Workspace option to prevent accidentally moving workspace panels, particularly when you're using Photoshop on a tablet/stylus. To access this option, choose Window > Workspace > Lock Workspace.

Use simple math in number fields

Introduced in the October 2018 release of Photoshop CC (version 20.0)

You can also perform simple math in any input box that accepts numeric values.

For example, if you want to increase the canvas size by an additional 50 pixels, you can simply type '+50' to the current width or height field value in the Canvas Size dialog.

To calculate values in any text box that accepts numerical values:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • To replace the entire current value with a mathematical expression, select the entire current value.

    • To use the current value as part of a mathematical expression, click before or after the current value.

  2. Type a simple mathematical expression using mathematical operators, such as + (plus), - (minus), x (multiplication), / (division), or % (percent).

    For example,

    3 cm * 50% equals 3 centimeters multiplied by 50%, or 1.50 cm.

    50 pt + 25% equals 50 points plus 25% of 50 points, or 62.5 points.

  3. Press Enter or Return to apply the calculation.

Create documents

When you create a document in Photoshop, instead of beginning with a blank canvas, you can choose from a wide variety of templates, including templates from Adobe Stock. Templates include stock assets and illustrations that you can build on to complete your project. When you open a template in Photoshop, you can work with it just as you would work with any other Photoshop document (.psd).

In addition to templates, you can also create a document by selecting one of the numerous blank presets available in Photoshop.

For more information, see Create documents.

Save and switch workspaces

By saving the current size and position of panels as a named workspace, you can restore that workspace even if you move or close a panel. The names of saved workspaces appear in the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

Save a custom workspace

  1. With the workspace in the configuration you want to save, choose Window > Workspace > New Workspace.

  2. Type a name for the workspace.

  3. Under Capture, select one or more options:

    Keyboard shortcuts

    Saves the current set of keyboard shortcuts (Photoshop only).

    Menus or Menu Customization

    Saves the current set of menus.

Display or switch workspaces

Select a workspace from the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

In Photoshop, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to each workspace to navigate among them quickly.

Delete a custom workspace

  • Select Manage Workspaces from the workspace switcher in the Application bar, select the workspace, and then click Delete.

  • Select Delete Workspace from the workspace switcher.

  • Choose Window > Workspace >Delete Workspace, select the workspace, and then click Delete.

Restore the default workspace

  1. Select the Default or Essentials workspace from the workspace switcher in the application bar.

  2. Select Window > Workspace > Reset [Workspace Name].

Restore a saved workspace arrangement

In Photoshop, workspaces automatically appear as you last arranged them, but you can restore the original, saved arrangement of panels.

  • To restore an individual workspace, choose Window > Workspace > Reset [Workspace Name].

  • To restore all the workspaces installed with Photoshop, click Restore Default Workspaces in the Interface preferences.

To rearrange the order of workspaces in the application bar, drag them.

Figuring out what Photoshop tools do is now easier than ever before! When you hover the pointer over certain tools in the Tools panel, Photoshop displays a description and a short video of the tool in action.

You can choose not to view rich tooltips. To do so, deselect thePreferences > Tools > Use Rich Tooltips preference.

Quick Selection tool
Rich tooltip: Quick Selection tool
Crop tool
Rich tooltip: Crop tool

When you position the pointer over most tools and options, descriptions appear in tooltips by default. If you find tooltips visually distracting, you can hide them.

In the Interface preferences, deselect Show Tooltips.

Tooltips are not available in some dialog boxes.

Windows | High-density monitor support and per-monitor scaling

On Windows 10 Creators Update and later versions, Photoshop offers a full range of choices for UI scaling—from 100% through 400% in 25% increments. This enhancement makes the Photoshop user interface looks crisp and sharp regardless of the pixel density of your monitor. Photoshop automatically adjusts its resolution based on your Windows settings.

In addition, you can adjust per-monitor scaling across monitors with different scaling factors. This flexibility ensures that a high resolution (HiDPI) laptop works seamlessly alongside a lower-resolution desktop monitor, or vice versa. For example, one of your monitors can have a scale factor of 175%, while another monitor can have a scale factor of 400%. So, you can choose either the highest-end 13-inch laptops with 4k screens, the more affordable 1080p models, or tap into 8k desktop monitors, and still have an uncompromised experience within Photoshop.

In Windows, select Start > Settings > System > Display. Now, under Scale And Layout, choose a scaling factor for each of your displays.

On Windows 10 Creators Update and later versions, the UI Scaling setting in Photoshop (Preferences > Interface > UI Scaling) still applies to some components, such as the File Info and Camera Raw dialogs. On earlier versions of Windows, this preference applies to all Photoshop components. When the UI Scaling option is set to Auto, scaling defaults to the value closest to the primary monitor's OS scaling factor—100 or 200.
