ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 61 User Guide • (ImageReady) To show or hide options for palettes that include hidden options (the Optimize, Color, Type, Layer Options, and Slice palettes), click the Show Options button ( ) on the palette tab to cycle through palette displays, or choose Show Options or Hide Options from the palette menu. Docking palettes together Docking palettes together lets you view multiple palettes at the same time and move them as a group. Entire palette groups cannot be docked together at once, but you can dock the palettes from one group to another, one at a time. In Photoshop, you can also store palettes in the palette well of the tool options bar. (See "Using the tool options bar" on page 59.) To dock palettes together: Drag a palette's tab to the bottom of another palette so that the bottom of the target palette is highlighted. To move an entire docked group, drag its title bar. Setting the positions of palettes and dialog boxes The positions of all open palettes and moveable dialog boxes are saved when you exit the application. Alternatively, you can always start with default palette positions or restore default positions at any time. To reset palettes to the default positions: Do one of the following: • (Photoshop) Choose Edit > Preferences > General, and select Save Palette Locations. • (Photoshop) Choose Window > Reset Palette Locations. • (ImageReady) Choose Window > Arrange > Reset Palettes. To always start with the default palette and dialog box positions: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General. 2 Deselect Save Palette Locations. The change takes effect the next time you start the application. Using pop-up sliders A number of palettes and dialog boxes contain settings that use pop-up sliders (for example, the Opacity option in the Layers palette). To use a pop-up slider: Do one of the following: • Position the pointer over the triangle next to the setting, hold down the mouse, and drag the slider or angle radius to the desired value. • Click the triangle next to the setting to open the pop-up slider box, and drag the slider or angle radius to the desired value. Click outside the slider box or press Enter or Return to close the slider box. To cancel changes, press the Escape key (Esc). To increase or decrease values in 10% increments when the pop-up slider box is open, hold down Shift and press the Up or Down arrow key.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0
User Guide
(ImageReady) To show or hide options
for palettes that include hidden options
(the Optimize, Color, Type, Layer Options, and
Slice palettes), click the Show Options button (
)
on the palette tab to cycle through palette displays,
or choose Show Options or Hide Options from the
palette menu.
Docking palettes together
Docking palettes together lets you view multiple
palettes at the same time and move them as a
group. Entire palette groups cannot be docked
together at once, but you can dock the palettes
from one group to another, one at a time.
In Photoshop, you can also store palettes in the
palette well of the tool options bar. (See “Using
the tool options bar” on page 59.)
To dock palettes together:
Drag a palette’s tab to the bottom of another
palette so that the bottom of the target palette
is highlighted.
To move an entire docked group, drag its title bar.
Setting the positions of palettes and
dialog boxes
The positions of all open palettes and moveable
dialog boxes are saved when you exit the appli-
cation. Alternatively, you can always start with
default palette positions or restore default
positions at any time.
To reset palettes to the default positions:
Do one of the following:
(Photoshop) Choose Edit > Preferences >
General, and select Save Palette Locations.
(Photoshop) Choose Window > Reset
Palette Locations.
(ImageReady) Choose Window > Arrange >
Reset Palettes.
To always start with the default palette and dialog box
positions:
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > General.
2
Deselect Save Palette Locations. The change
takes effect the next time you start the application.
Using pop-up sliders
A number of palettes and dialog boxes contain
settings that use pop-up sliders (for example,
the Opacity option in the Layers palette).
To use a pop-up slider:
Do one of the following:
Position the pointer over the triangle next to the
setting, hold down the mouse, and drag the slider
or angle radius to the desired value.
Click the triangle next to the setting to open the
pop-up slider box, and drag the slider or angle
radius to the desired value. Click outside the slider
box or press Enter or Return to close the slider box.
To cancel changes, press the Escape key (Esc).
To increase or decrease values in 10% incre-
ments when the pop-up slider box is open, hold
down Shift and press the Up or Down arrow key.
