Photoshop Cs5 Pallet Chaos!

Hi Mark, What is tab?

Hi guys, thanks for your help. I am trying to work out which is the tab key (I have an Apple keyboard) none of them are labelled as tab. I do have some palettes up just not the ones I want. The Layers palette is present, the History pallet is there and I can get a few others by going through the “Window” menu.

Thanks Mark, I did work that out after my post, but as I said, I do have some pallets just not the ones I want. That button just hides all palettes. How do you get the pallet with effects and colour swatches?

Thanks for helping me Mark. “View” menu doesn't bring up palettes that is the “Window” menu. To the best of my memory I had the colour swatches and effects on the same cluster with one other thing which I can't remember. I will add a list of the pallets I can get in a minute.

Hi Noel thanks for your help, I can't arrange anything until I get the palettes up in the first place. These are the ones I can get, the others have just disappeared. They are grouped according the window they are in.

layer, channels, paths

navigator, histogram, info

brush presets, brush, clone source

history, actions

animation, measurement log

I need the effects and colour swatch palette. Thanks for your help

Thanks R Kelly, Reset Essentials did the trick. I don't know what happened there. Like I said when I started the post … “This the bizarrest thing that has ever happened to me in Photoshop!”

Thanks for your help everyone

just to answer your question Noel when I click Window - Style or Window - Swatches, I just got the pallete with »

navigator, histogram, info

brush presets, brush, clone source

I couldn't quite understand why … and yes there is an effects pallet in Photoshop it is actually called “styles” though (my mistake).

Thanks agian guys
