Setting display settings with the Window menu

The Window menu, controls the display of palettes and some other elements of the Photoshop working area. The top two entries on the Window menu enable you to control the display arrangement of your open documents and manage your workspaces. In the Window➪Arrange submenu, you can tell Photoshop to cascade (stack) or tile (butt them edge to edge) all open documents.Here is the lowdown on the other options found on the Window➪Arrange submenu:

The new Match Zoom command takes all your open documents and matches the magnification percentage of your currently active document.

-->The new Match Location command takes all your open documents and matches the location of your currently active document. In other words, if you are viewing the lowerleft corner of your active document and choose Match location, all your open documents will also be displayed from the lower-left corner.

-->And of course, Match Zoom and Location employs both commands simultaneously.

-->The Arrange Icons command (Windows only) takes minimized files and arranges the title bar icons in a neat row directly above the status bar.

-->Minimize (Mac only) hides the image while placing the image’s thumbnail in the Dock. Click the thumbnail to restore the image in Photoshop.

-->If you have multiple applications launched and document windows open, the Bring All to Front command (Mac only) will enable all Photoshop documents to come to the front, ahead of any open document windows from other applications.

On the Window➪Workspace submenu, you can save your current desktop arrangement, load or delete a stored arrangement, or reset your palette locations. For step-by-step instructions. The remaining bulk of the Window menu contains a list of palettes in alphabetical order.

Photoshop CS has eliminated the Window➪Documents menu. Consequently, you don’t have to open a submenu to see a list of open documents. The list of all open documents is once again shown at the bottom of the Window menu.
