Colour Panel In the upper right of screen of the Photoshop CS5 is the colour panel (this option is found in the essential workspace) which also displays our current foreground and background colour chips. This panel lets us to pick a new colour for either chip without having to open the colour picker. Swatches The swatches panel holds miniature samples of colours, giving us easy access to them for use in painting or colorizing our images. This panel also stores a variety of colour libraries. Styles Styles are special effects created with a variety of layer styles. For example, if you have created a glass button look for using several layer styles, you can save them as a single style which means you can apply it with a single click. Adjustment The adjustment panel gives you one step access to all of the Photoshop adjustment layers, as well as their various presets. Instead of making colour or lighting changes to your original images you can use adjustment layers to make the changes on separate layers giving all kinds of editing flexibilities keeping your original image out of harms way. Masks This panel lets you create and fine-tune layer mask. They are similar to digital marking tape that lets you hide the content of a layer, whether its an adjustment of same sort or parts of an image. This panel also gives you access to several ways to fine-tune a mask once you have created it. Layers The layers panel is the single most panels in Photoshop. Layers let you work with your images as if they were a stack of transparencies, so you can create one image from many. By using layers, you can resize, adjust the opacity, and add layer styles to0 each item independently. Understanding layer is the key to Photoshop success. Channels Channels are where Photoshop stores the colour information your images are made from, whether thats RGB(red green blue), CMYK (Cyan magenta yellow black), Grayscale and so on. Channels are extremely powerful, and you can use them to edit the individual colors 8in your images which is helpful in sharpening images, creating selections and so on. Paths Paths are the outlines you make with the pen and shape
