Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 8:41 pm

In Photoshop, a palette is a collection of related tools, usually grouped together to make it easier to find and use them. There are many different types of palettes in Photoshop, each with its own purpose. Here are some of the most common palettes and how to use them:

The Toolbox palette contains all of the basic tools you need for working in Photoshop. These include the selection tools, painting tools, eraser, and color picker. To access a tool, simply click on its icon in the palette.

The Layers palette is one of the most important palettes in Photoshop. It allows you to control the order of the layers in your document, as well as add new layers and adjust their properties. To access a layer, simply click on its name in the palette.

PRO TIP: When using palettes in Photoshop, be sure to save your work frequently. Otherwise, you may lose your work if the palette window is closed accidentally.

The Brushes palette contains all of the brushes you can use in Photoshop. To access a brush, simply click on its icon in the palette. You can also use the Brushes palette to adjust the size and shape of your brush.

The Colors palette allows you to choose colors for your document. To access a color, simply click on its swatch in the palette. You can also use the Colors palette to create new colors by mixing existing ones.

To use a palette in Photoshop, simply select it from the Window menu. Alternatively, you can press F5 to open the Toolbox palette, or F6 to open the Layers palette.
