Window Tips

As applications pile up on the panels and options, screen space remains at a premium even as monitor sizes grow. Space is an even bigger challenge if you need to manage multiple windows. Photoshop gives you choices here.

Use Screen Modes or the Application Frame. Press F to cycle through the available screen modes (see Figures 6-1 to 6-3). You can also pick a screen mode from the Screen Mode submenu (under the View menu) or click and hold the Screen Mode icon in the Options bar. Pressing F is so easy that you’ll probably go to the View menu only if you’re recording an action that plays back a screen mode change.
