ABSTRACT
New interface design The most immediately noticeable difference in Photoshop CS3 is the new interface design, which is part of a wider strategy to give all the applications in the CS3 creative suite a more unifi ed look and therefore make the interfaces more consistent when switching between applications. To start with you will notice how the Tools palette is presented in a single column. Now that we are all using bigger displays, there is no real need for the old two column version. You will also notice that the palette well has disappeared from the tool Options bar. The palettes can now be displayed on the left-or right-hand side of the screen grouped into multiple column docking zones and easily hidden or made visible by rolling the mouse to either
Figure 1.2 The new Photoshop CS3 Mac OS X layout. In this screenshot the Layers, Channels and Paths palettes were placed in a third column docking zone. You can see here that if I click on a palette icon, this will quickly expand to reveal the normal full size palette.
