The workspace you see when you open Photoshop includes all of Photoshop’s visible components:
Menu Bar
Tools panel
Options Bar
Image window (or document window)
Panels
The workspace you see the first time you open Photoshop on your computer or before you change
a component of its workspace is called the default workspace. It includes panels, bars, and windows
that you can rearrange and customize according to which work area parts are convenient for you to
have available when you work on various types of images. When you change the initial workspace
arrangement, it is called a custom workspace.
Note the following ways you can affect the workspace by using the Window menu (found at the
top of the screen):
Save, load, delete, and reset workspaces in the Window ➪ Workspace menu.
Save or delete a custom workspace by choosing Window ➪ Workspace (Save
Workspace or Delete Workspace).
Load a saved workspace by selecting its name at the bottom of the
Window ➪ Workspace menu.
Reset to the default workspace by choosing Window ➪ Workspace ➪ Default
Workspace.
You can activate a missing panel by selecting the panel name in the Window menu (add a
check mark).
In addition to changing the arrangement and appearance of the workspace components, you can
change the settings and preferences for Photoshop, most of which are in the Preferences menu.
The Preferences menu can be found in the Menu Bar under the command Edit (PC) or Photoshop
(Mac). Preference settings are saved each time you quit Photoshop so that the next time you open
it, your changed preferences will still be active.
Sometimes it’s a good idea to reset everything, including the workspace and preferences, to their
defaults. For example, many tutorials show the default workspace and settings (or should). If you
are doing a tutorial, it would be helpful to reset your workspace and settings to match the tutorial.
Also, if unexpected or unexplained things are happening in Photoshop, it might mean the preferences
are corrupt; you can try resetting them to their defaults to see if that helps.
To reset the workspace, preferences, and settings, do the following:
1. Press and hold Alt+Ctrl+Shift (Option+Ô+Shift on a Mac) as you start Photoshop.
2. When you see a message about deleting the current settings, click to delete the
settings.
3. After you delete settings, release the keys. Photoshop opens with all its defaults active.
