- [Instructor] Because Photoshop is so many things…to so many different people,…it has a tremendous number of options.…For example, look at the number of panels…that are showing by default.…And this isn't nearly all of them.…Photoshop displays different panels…based on screen resolution,…so your panels might be arranged a little bit differently.…For example, you might see the Libraries panel in its own…column, instead of being nested with the Adjustments panel.…If we want to see all of the different panels…that are available to Photoshop,…we can view them underneath the Window menu.…
You'll notice the panels that we can see over on the right…side have a check mark next to them in the Windows menu.…If I were to click on the Swatches panel,…in order to bring it to the foreground,…now we see that the Color panel no longer has a check,…but the Swatches panel does.…In order to view additional panels,…we can just select them from the list.…Some of the panels are automatically nested…with other panels, for example, the Info panel…
