Working with Panels

Developing Tools

Many of the effects panels have common control elements and other features. This section describes those control elements and their uses.

§ 10.1 - The On Checkbox ✓ On

✓ On allows you to turn any developing tools window panel on and off once the panel has been activated. To activate a panel, adjust one of its controls. Don't turn on panels using this checkmark unless they've already been activated.

§ 10.2 - The S Button

S allows you to save the settings of a panel for later re-use.

§ 10.3 - The L Button

L allows you to load previously saved settings for a particular panel for re-use.

§ 10.4 - The ^ Button

^ moves a panel up one position in the developing tools window.

§ 10.5 - The v Button

v moves a panel down one position in the developing tools window.

§ 10.6 - The [R] Button

[R] resets the panel to its default settings.

§ 10.7 - Painting

Operations that allow you to paint in an effect, such as Dodge and Burn, are modal; that means that you enter into a mode (specifically, a painting mode), apply the effect to the image using left-click brushstrokes, and then exit the mode using a right-mouse-click with the mouse still over the image window.

§ 10.7.1 - The P Button

P turns on the painting mode. Exit this mode by clicking the right mouse button.

§ 10.8 - Floating Panels

Often when working with an image, there will be a particular subset of effects that you're using, while others will not be in use. You can float all the panels that are ✓ On to the top of the developing tools window using ⌘-F. This will move all the enabled panels to the top of the developing tools window. You can then arrange them using the individual panel v and ^ controls.

You can also float specific panels to the top, regardless of whether they are ✓ On or not. To do this, press f and then follow with the appropriate single keystroke:
