All right.
Welcome back.
So in this video we're going to talk about the window menu.
So let's head over to Photoshop.
Can I still have my other file openers from our clothes that out.
Let's click on the window and what I want to do is let's make a new project first.
So my head.
OK.
And then we'll go to the window menu and let's look at the arrange option here so you can do tile all
vertically tile horizontally to up.
So let's look at these
let's do workspaces first.
So you have a central which we have set up you can do 3D and graphic and web so it'll grab tools for
that specific section if you going to do motion graphics you can use that workspace paint in and photography.
You can also create your own workspace so you can edit all this and customize this all the way you want.
I recommend doing that once you're more comfortable with Photoshop because it's going to make your experience
a lot more fun because you don't want to be when you're creating stuff you don't want to be fiddling
with the menus and the toolbars and all that stuff you know where everything is and do the work.
And one other thing I mentioned is if you can get dual monitors good dual monitors because what that
does is that gives you the ability to move these tools to another monitor and then you have more space
to work.
So I work with two monitors right now and I absolutely love it.
Normally I have three but right I have two.
So we can find extensions on exchange and you can also grab extensions so let's look at that real quick.
Let this load.
There you go.
So they have to find thousands of extensions plugin scripts and more to enhance creativity extend functionality
of creative cloud applications.
So they have extensions.
So the ultimate retouch panel
advanced local contrast enhancer and a lot more here.
I'm not going to go through all these but you can specifically look for Photoshop extensions so I would
just click here and then that will direct you in the right direction.
Then there's 10 pages plus I'm guessing of Photoshop extensions.
There are a lot so there's free and paid as well.
So it's a really cool thing.
So 3-D that's just the 3-D menu panel right here actions.
This is what I was talking about earlier you can create actions or scripts and read everything out and
record yourself doing the action.
So like for example if you wanted to do create a new action right you'd hit record and then action wonder
and be creative.
Grab the marquee tool and then use the gradient tool
OK.
So that would be one action and then you could play it back
so you could apply that to an item and then it would run that action.
So to create the marquee to on and apply that gradient if you wanted to do that.
OK.
So I'm going to do this and then we'll continue on.
So we have adjustments right here brush set in so you can set the brush settings they're different sizes
and color dynamics et cetera.
The brushes here as you can look at general brushes These are the different styles that they have.
But what media brushes.
Those are cool you know.
So working given that we real really what on earth was going on
it would help avoid the brush tool.
Here we go.
OK so I don't have that selection right now but if I did this then it works.
I guess I'll get you coming to control.
Did I do that and close that out.
Next you got channels.
So you got red green and blue
character.
So this is just for text.
Character styles
clones source so you can call in a source.
See color.
So that's the color.
And then you add swatches right here which are right there styles you got right here.
Timeline down there for video to a presets so you can literally turn all these on surveying them all
on much basically all you're doing libraries right there info.
So there's a lot of stuff in the window menu but these are all tools.
So just think of these as all tools and you could do to a presets but that's why you want to work with
the workspace and set up like the central workspace.
Figure out the way that you like it and then utilize that because that's really going to help your workflow
and optimize your time that you're putting forth on the work that you're doing.
So with that.
Thanks for watching.
I'll see you in the next video.
