The Photoshop Workspace 

One of the many great features in Photoshop is your ability to control anything, you can configure your own shortcut keys, the way every panel looks and are placed. All this is called your workspace, the environment you work in, the great thing with Photoshop is you can save your workspace, down to every little detail. The specific place you have placed your toolbar, shortcut keys etc.

And thats what we will do in this small Photoshop tutorial we will see how to save your own personalized workspace in Photoshop and how easy it is to load it again if you "misplaced" something.

First of all I will introduce you to my default workspace, its just the standard photoshop workspace settings.

The way we set up our workspace it pretty simple, just re-arrange the position of some panels, undock the toolbar as I did below, maybe even go in and set up some new shortcuts to different stuff, I also have the history panel open, because I use it a lot. You can do anything to make your Photoshop daily life simpler.

Now we will need to save the workspace settings we just made, so go to the top menu "window" -> workspace -> Save workspace

Then you need to name it, I just named mine "my workspace" and checked all three checkboxes so it also stores shortcut information etc.

Now try to close some panels and re-arrange some stuff, then I will show you how easy it is to load your new settings back.

Just go to window -> workspace -> and locate the "my workspace" and click it. It take a few seconds and you are back to your default personal Photoshop settings.

Now you are ready to go be creative with your own costimized Photoshop workspace.
