Floating tool bars-palettes

While working on a project particularly when lasooing an image, the tool palettes tend to get in the way. Just press the tab key on your keyboard to make them disappear and press the tab key once more to make them reappear.

*************************

Save Worktop

When you save your workspace, you will be saving settings for your toolbar, palettes, also settings for your rulers and grids plus image information including image position in your workspace etc., so that you can return to your project at a later time.

Go To File > Workspace > Save. The standard "Save as" dialogue box will appear.
It will ask you for a file location you wish to save your workspace to.
Workspace will be saved in a .wsp format, so you need to give it a name e.g: project2.wsp.

Next time you open PSP go to File > Workspace > Load. The workspace will remember the locations of your graphics so it is important that you do not move them after saving the workspace.

*************************

Tools greyed out
The majority of tools will only function on a image with a colour depth of 16.7 million colours (24 bit). To restore your image to 24 bit, Go to Colours > Increase Colour Depth > 16 Million. Now all of your tools should be active except the tools that require a selection.
