Photoshop 911 FAQ and Short tips

"Oh no! I've hidden my toolbox behind the menu???"

(from a reader...)
 

Oooops! Things like this do happen. The tool box gets moved and you can't get hold of it to drag it down. This has happened to me... don't ask how.
 

Choose one of two solutions:

1. Open the preferences dialog, and under the "More" option you can force Photoshop to reset the original toolbox positions.
2. You can trash your Pref file. Do this and you'll force Photoshop to build a new one, returning the toolbox to its default position.

 

I prefer not to trash the Pref file since a lot of other prefs
will go away at the same time.
 

If any of your pallets get pushed up beyond the menu bar, hiding the controls, then recall it from the "view" menu and it will move into view. Whew.
