Have you clicked on all the different workspace options? You can see that some are particularly suited for browsing folders, others are designed to give the biggest view of each photo, and others concentrate on giving you plenty of information about each file at a glance.

I expect you’ll see one that looks best suited for your needs. That can become your default setting. But of course the other layouts are always accessible at the click of your mouse, so don’t ever feel “locked in” to one particular workspace.

On my old editing computer, which had a 4:3 shaped screen, I liked Filmstrip:

On my current editing computer, which has a wide-format screen, the “Preview” layout gives me more efficient use of the screen space, especially when I drag the Content panel wider to give me more thumbnails:

Make sure you choose a setting with a nice big Preview panel, because you'll need it for examining photos, and often comparing two or more photos at once.

I do not get a big preview image when I choose "preview" but I do when I use my custom "Kathy".  I can't figure out why.

With this one chosen, go to Window>Workspace>Reset Workspace

That did it!  Thanks.  I am on my second read thorough the class.  I am loving how much I am learning.  I will be writing a review after this go through.

I have a wide-format screen on my PC and would like to have same set up as your Laptop, but I can't get the content panel in between the Favorite/Folder and Preview?

Choose the "Preview" workspace setting.

Okay thanks, I wouldn't ever figure that one out

Please make sure you read every slide very thoroughly.

I thought I had, but somewhere in between one workspace or another my dog needed to go for a walk and she should never be ignored.

Damien - going through this for the 2nd time.  When I am in my own workspace ( Terri) I don't get a large preview.  If I click on an image it opens in ACR.  But how do I get it to she a large preview?

[Damien Symonds]

It's because your Preview window isn't open, @Terri!  Open it via the Window menu.

Hello, I cannot pull up any of my photos unless I open "Photoslibrary."  When I do, it opens up my "photos" (seen below), in which I'm not in Bridge anymore. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Photos were over the text.

@Tiffany Schallenhammer no, you have to navigate to the actual location of your photos.
