Workspace Overview

At first glance, the Photoshop workspace seems a little dreary-lots of gray, but that is very misleading. With beautiful photographs (or other colorful graphics) in the work area and fascinating tools at your fingertips, you’ll
soon be addicted to the Photoshop playground. In fact, you probably are glad that the background not only makes a good contrast for colorful files but is easy on the eyes.
So without any further ado, I give you the Photoshop workspace, as shown in Figure 2.1.
