Working with Palettes

Photoshop is a palette driven program. Almost everything you do will involve palettes in one way or another. Particular options are available for each palette

The palette is a movable box with a variety of options for a particular tool or for accomplishing a task. When you first open Photoshop, you will notice that all related tools are grouped in different palettes.
