Hi All,

As part of my ongoing review of the CS3 Beta I’ve uploaded three new articles on my site on Photoshop, looking at the user interface, ImageReady, Smart Filters and Black and White:

I’ve never tried this with it, but suppose someone (to speed-up the processes) wanted outfit PS with only toolbars and functions that pertained to their personal work and get rid of (keep them offscreen) any others. Is this possible? Reason is, PS is not as fast to use as some other programs when it comes to doing various things. Being able to have functions and even macros at a button’s touch on the front screen rather than buried in menus or consisting of multiple steps (like a good camera body) would help.

the menus are easily customizable in terms of displaying what you want only save as your worskspace or make several for differing jobs

uhh ACTIONS>??
for multiple steps processes this seems to have worked for most of us so far it is also highly customizable
if you use it often don’t keep it hidden!

for myself
I dragged the menus I use most often to one palette (Layers, actions, history)
I rarely use channels or paths so I keep them off screen I use navigator with swatches and styles on one palette
I keep the text palette hidden for most jobs
saved as my workspace

in actions I have a set called MY ACTIONS
I make ones for resizing and saving in several formats, I have to do often and other actions I know will re-use for several images like color correcting a large batch for example
