Lesson 20 - Saving Customer Workspaces

 

 

 

Save time by saving workspaces: Did you know that you can save entire workspaces, not just images? The workspace includes open images and their magnifications and screen positions, as well as positions and preferences of palettes, toolbars, dialogs, and windows.  This tip works for PSP 9, X and XI. 

 

Saving Custom Workspaces

When you save a workspace, Paint Shop Pro saves the information in a .PSPWorkspace file. The following information is stored:

• Ruler, grid, and guide information

• Menu, palette, and toolbar settings, locations, and docking status

• Browser window position (if open)

• Full screen edit mode status

• Open images, including the images zoom levels and scroll bar locations

Note: Workspace files do not include an actual copy of any open images. Workspace files only reference the name and location of an image. If you delete an image from your computer, it will not display in a workspace.

To save the current workspace:

1. Choose File > Workspace > Save, or press Shift + Alt + S to open the Save Workspace dialog.

2. To save the workspace in a folder other than the program default folder, click Edit Paths.

3. In the New Workspace Name field, type a name for the new work­space.

4. Click Save.

5. If your workspace contains any modified images that you have not saved, you will be prompted to save the changes to your image. Choose from these options:

6. Yes Saves the image changes and saves the workspace.

7. No Saves the workspace, but does not save the changes to your image.

8. Cancel The workspace is not saved.

Do you use certain palettes and toolbars configurations often, like with photo enhancing you may use different tools and palettes for this function.  Set up you workspace one time then save it and when you want to work on photos from now on all you have to do is open your saved workspace.   Sure does save time!
