Photoshop Workspace

The Photoshop CS5 workspace has had years to develop into a finetuned working environment, and with bigger monitors and faster processors, working in Photoshop has only become much more fun. With all the room that larger display options give you, you can easily organize the panels, documents, and tools in the workspace to provide an efficient photo-editing environment.
With all its features, Photoshop can be a bit daunting at first. The purpose of this tutorial is to familiarize you with the Photoshop workspace, how to navigate around, find tools, customize settings, and set the environment so it works best for you.
