If you double click on the little blue band at the very top of the
toolbar, it will collapse to show only that blue band and the Adobe eye
icon. To reopen the toolbar, double click again on the blue band (not
the Adobe icon). Some Elements users have had difficulty figuring out
what happened to their toolbar.
The letter in brackets next to each reference number in the
illustration is the keyboard shortcut for that tool.
If you have doodled with a tool’s options and want to get back to the
default settings, click that tool’s icon at the far left end of its
options bar. Choose either Reset Tool to reset only the current tool, or
Reset All Tools to restore default settings to every tool.
Please note that all descriptions and illustrations featured refer to
files which are in Photoshop’s .psd format, and which are in RGB colour
mode. Other file formats, and colour modes may generate different
options. Some Photoshop features are not available for images not in
.psd format, or RGB colour mode. To find what colour mode your image is
in, choose Image > Mode. |
