I really appreciate the Super Thanks! Thank you very much!

Exactly the tutorial I needed!

Thanks Dave. I continue to learn new things from you. Great tutorial.

thank's a lot. TOP

Very timely and as always informative. I have usually followed my own path when it comes to setting up PS Workspaces, but what I have done is set up a separate workspace exactly like yours Dave, this helps following along on each of your tutorials, and although I have my own separate workspace, I find myself using your workspace more and more. Thank you Dave, thank you for being so helpful, consistent and informative and making every lesson "A Joy".

Thanks Mario!

thanks for the reminder, I had about 10 workspaces, deleted all, after saving my current one. Then, copied it over to my external drive.🙂

Thanks Dave. This reminded me to add the new selection panel in. I had a workspace that was ok but after watching this I set up an almost direct copy of this to try out. Once again your explanations were easy to follow. Thanks - tim

Thanks Dave! Trying to configure the TK workspace can get a little frustrating at times but this made it so much clear. 👍👍

Thanks for the reminder, Dave.

Very informative and an excellent refresher. Thank you.

Another great learning video. Your teaching style is unsurpassed. Thank you for all your effort and time. Dudley

Thanks Martin.

Very useful advice Dave, clearly explained and demonstrated in my view. Thank you very much.

A great video and I have been fighting the PS workspace for such a long time. Now, with your help I have been able to organize it to meet my workflow. A great video and notes that I am sure will refer to from time to time when I am stuck.

Thanks

Thanks Dave that was really helpful. Even with a 32 in monitor I don't have enough room to locate channels under the Magic Mixer panel. Resolution is set to 3840px X 2160px. It's a Windows OS and I do have scale set to 175% so I might try to reduce that but with the high resolution monitor it tends to really make the text super small.

Great tutorial, as usual. Good ideas & I always learn something new. I do wonder, as I mainly use a laptop, if there a way to change the size of all the panels, so I could use a setup similar to yours & keep more open? I’ve looked through the settings & I couldn’t find anyway to do it. Thanks again for all your excellent education & inspiration!

Very helpful, thanks

Glad it was helpful!

Nice video Dave...always good to have a refresher on the workspace. I note that you have your new selection brush panel on its own with nothing underneath. Seems a waste of space? This reduces your actual width area to view an image...which I guess is ok if you have a 4k monitor. Mine is 2k so I need more space for images. Note also that if using Photoshop in a windows pc you need to click "manage plugins" in the plugins menu to access and install/uninstall plugins.

Thanks for the info on Windows machines!

Excellent refresh for me. Dave do you have some trick to synchronise the workspace I create in PS to PS beta ?

Great video Dave! I have a few friends who love their dual monitor setups, and I hope to go that route soon. I look forward to that, and not having any constrictions on space for the plugins and multiple actions panels. I expect that workspace would look quite different. But for now, I cannot think of a better single monitor workspace than yours.

Thanks Barney.

Great Dave, as always. Have you tried putting the selection brush under your combo panel so that it is near other selection buttons?

Great tutorial as always!! Is there a way to make the TK9 Cx panel default to open showing actions rather than have to select it from the TK menu each time you open Photoshop?

@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly

Thanks Gary. I believe the panels are set to their default state when you reopen Photoshop.

Excellent content as always Dave , I replicated your workspace when I originally purchased the TK9 workspace , I recently downloaded the new TK selection tool and added to it my workspace and then saved the new workspace using your method shown in this video . However when I close down and reopen photoshop my cx panel never opens and I have to click the reset workspace from the top right corner of the screen and then it reappears in its usual place. Any ided why this is happening ?

@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly

Thank you. I'm not sure what is happening.Try this: After you reset your workspace and it's the way you like it, save it as a new workspace with a new name and then close Photoshop and see if it opens properly.

is there a way to save the/a file that contains the workspace to an external drive/disc for a backup? In case the computer fails/stolen, do not want to have to re-create the workspace. A way to export the workspace to some external device?

Locate the Workspace Settings File: On Windows, navigate to Drive C: → Users → (Your User Name) → AppData → Roaming → Adobe → Adobe Photoshop 2024 → Adobe Photoshop 2024 settings → WorkSpaces. On macOS, you’ll find custom workspaces at Users/[Your User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2024Settings/WorkSpaces. Backup Your Custom Workspace: Make a copy of this file for easy recovery in case you reformat your drive later. Having a backup ensures you can quickly get up and running again when needed.

I am still having trouble using the My Channels button. I sent Tony a couple of emails but he doesn't' respond. I don't know if he is seeing my emails or just not responding.

How do you save a Photoshop workspace you created? Do not see a "save" option for workspaces.

@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly

When you are happy with the new workspace you have created (click the Photoshop Menu button to open a workspace, upper right side of Photoshop Menu): Click "New Workspace", give it a name (Click on the checkboxes of the options you want to save with your new workspace) then click Save to save your new workspace.

Thank you for putting this out but it again just confirms to me that there is way way way way too much …your own opening shot of your desk top in TK9 had 166 buttons plus various sliders etc . That is a crazy crazy amount to navigate . There are so so many of those that replicate simple things in Photoshop . Tony is undoubtably very clever guy and you clearly are able to get your head around so much . I’ve tried but it becomes that I cannot see the wood for the trees . These panels need massively decluttering in my opinion

TK 9 is great but some of the functions are now duplicated in various panels which possibly creates the impression that there are too many buttons. Even so, TK9 is easy to use and does a great job.

Hang in there Graham! Yes, the TK9 panels are complex and yes there is a learning curve. That’s where these videos from Dave come in. I suggest not just watching them, but downloading each practice image and following along. It is so much easier to remember something you have done as opposed to what you have watched. Now in their 9th version, these panels have already been trimmed, refined and debugged. I get what you are saying about how what many of the buttons do can be easily duplicated in Photoshop. But, if you are using a tablet (I suspect most serious editors do), it is so helpful to hit a button on the panels and not have to go to the keyboard and type a shortcut while holding the pen. So hang in there, don’t try to learn everything at once, and good luck!

Point is though is that many of the buttons merely replicate something that is already extremely easy to do in Photoshop …

Bear in mind that you can also go into the menu settings and remove any items you don't need, and the same with the tool bar. I have also separated out the nested tools so that all the variants of tools that I use are always visible.
