To use palettes:

Palettes help you monitor and modify your work. You can customize the default palette arrangement in the following ways:

* To hide or show all palettes, including the toolbox and options bar, press Tab. To hide or show all palettes except for the toolbox, press Shift+Tab.

* To display a palette menu, position the pointer on the triangle in the upper right corner of the palette, and press the mouse button.

* 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). Some palettes, such as the Color palette, cannot be resized by dragging.

* To collapse a group of palettes to their titles only, double-click the palette’s tab, or click the Minimize button (Windows) or the Zoom box (Mac OS). You can open the palette menu even when the palette is collapsed.

Using palettes

* To make a palette appear at the front of its group, click the palette’s tab.
* To move an entire palette group, drag its title bar.
* To rearrange or separate a palette group, drag a palette’s tab. Dragging a palette outside an existing group creates a new palette window.
* To move a palette to another group, drag the palette’s tab to that group.
* To dock palettes so that they move together, drag a palette’s tab to the bottom of another palette.
* To move an entire docked palette group, drag its title bar.

Docking a palette in the palette well
* To return palettes to their default sizes and positions, choose Window > Workspace > Reset Palette Locations (Photoshop) or Window > Workspace > Default Palette Locations (ImageReady).
