While the Photography workspace keeps the History panel, the Device Preview panel is gone. Also, the narrow column on the left held only two panels in the Essentials workspace ( History and Device Preview). Yet in the Photography workspace, they've been replaced with the Histogram and Navigator panels, two panels that are more useful for editing and retouching work. In the Essentials workspace, the Color and Swatches panels were grouped together at the top of the middle column. This frees up more room for viewing the image in the document window. Notice, for example, that the Libraries panel, which was in its own column on the right in the Essentials workspace, is now grouped in with the Adjustments panel in the middle column. Let's look at the differences between Photoshop's default Essentials workspace and the Photography workspace. Switching workspaces changes the panels that are displayed on your screen.

While the Toolbar can now be saved as part of a workspace, as can menu items and keyboard shortcuts, workspaces are most commonly used for switching between different panel layouts. We also learned how to customize the Toolbar, a new feature in Photoshop CC. In a previous tutorial in this Photoshop Interface series, we learned all about managing panels in Photoshop. A workspace streamlines the interface for the task at hand, keeping your screen free of clutter and helping you work more efficiently. ![]() Other tasks, like web and graphic design, video editing, or working with type and typography, all use specific panels. A digital painter, on the other hand, will need different panels, ones for choosing brushes and colors. A photographer, for example, will use certain panels for image editing and retouching. Photoshop includes far too many panels to fit them all on your screen at once, so it's important that we limit the panels to just the ones we actually need. Workspaces give us a way to customize Photoshop's interface for specific tasks, and to better match the way we work. Any or all of these elements can be included and saved as part of a workspace. Workspaces may include custom menu items in the Menu Bar, and even custom keyboard shortcuts. A workspace can also change which tools are available in the Toolbar and how the Toolbar is organized. Workspaces determine which of Photoshop's panels are displayed on your screen and how those panels are arranged. ![]() A workspace is a preset layout for the various elements that make up Photoshop's interface. In this tutorial, we'll learn all about workspaces in Photoshop.
