Using palettes
Palettes help you monitor and modify images.
There are many ways to organize palettes in the
work area. You can store palettes in the palette well
to keep them out of your way but easily accessible;
or, you can keep frequently used palettes open in
the work area. Another option is to group palettes
together in the work area, or to dock one palette at
the bottom of another palette.
Note: Drag a palette out of the palette well if you
want to keep it open.
To display a palette:
Do one of the following:
• Click its tab.
• Choose the palette’s name in the Window
menu. Choosing the palette a second time hides
the palette.
To change the size of a palette:
Drag any corner of the palette (Windows) or drag
the size box at its lower right corner (Mac OS).
Note: Not all palettes can be resized.

Do one of the following:
• If the palette is in the palette well, click outside
the palette in the work area or click the palette’s
tab. (See “Using the palette well” on page 13.)
• Click the close icon on the palette title bar.
• If the palette is in a palette group, click the close
icon on the title bar for the group.
• Choose the palette name in the Window menu.
