#52 Photoshop Tips: The Triple Screen Modes

Posted on 7:35 PM by Daniy

Talking about workspace, Photoshop is a pack of easiness which you can rely on every time and every way you want it. Just tell me how I can stick the Navigation palette right below the Layers palette, hiding some of the palettes, and if I got stuck and need to reverse, I just can do it quickly without hassle. And here, we’re gonna talk about the screen modes which Photoshop provides for us.

So, did you notice the toolbox recently? At a glance you will find the three horizontally ruled icons which first I haven’t any idea about what it is and what for. Then I found out that the icons provide three screen modes for you to discover.
Standard Screen Mode
This mode is the default screen mode as you start up Adobe Photoshop. All elements are displayed from the Photoshop header, menu bar, toolbox, and palettes. And your canvasses are somewhere between them.

Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
At this mode your canvas will disappear and referred with a large gray area around your image. Notice that the Photoshop header had disappeared and the menu bar is taking the most upper part of your screen.

Full Screen Mode
This is the last mode which will provide you larger areas since the menu bar is out of the screen and firmly left the options bar, the toolbox, and the palettes. The gray area had also turned into black. And also notice that your Windows taskbar below is also disappear.
And here is the ultimate mode. While you’re in Full Screen Mode, press the Tab key and whoosh... all the elements are gone leaving your only image on the screen. Remember it’s only you and your images right now. No palettes, no toolbox, no taskbar, no menus. And how you supposed to bring them back? Press the Tab once again and they’ll be on your screen again.

Quick tip:
Toggling between the three modes is also can be done by pressing the letter F on your keyboard instead of clicking the icons in the toolbox.
