Customizing Your Workspace in Paint Shop Pro X - Part One

Four More Toolbars and Three Default Palettes

• Effects: Commands for applying effects to your images
• Photo: Commands for enhancing photos.
• Script: Commands for creating and running scripts
• Web: Commands for creating and saving images for the Web

These three palettes are visible when you open PSP X for the very first time:

• Learning Center: This is a new feature of PSP X. The Learning Center displays tool tips and information about tools and commands. The Learning Center is located along the left margin of your workspace and can guide you step-by-step through common photo-editing tasks.

• Browser: Use this palette to browse thru your file folders and visually search for a particular image file. This browser in PSP X may feel very different to previous users of PSP, but cheer up....customization of PSP X includes the ability to dock the Browser wherever you want it.

• Tool Options: This palette is visible when one of the Tools is selected. The Tool Options palette contains settings and controls for the active tool and is positioned, by default, just above the image area in your workspace.
