 WHERE IS THE PHOTOSHOP CC 2018 TOOLBAR?

• By default, the Photoshop CC 2018 Toolbar is the part of Photoshop

that’s anchored to the left of the application window. However, you
can move it around and change its size, depending on your needs.
 HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THE TOOLBAR IN
PHOTOSHOP

You can customize the Toolbar part of

Photoshop a few different ways.

Moving the Toolbar: To move the Photoshop

CC 2018 Toolbar to another location on your
screen, click on the series of vertical lines
(located at the top of the Toolbar) and drag the
toolbar to another part of the screen. This action
un-anchors the Toolbar from its default location.
 HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THE TOOLBAR IN
PHOTOSHOP

Using columns: If you prefer the

Photoshop CC 2018 Toolbar to be two
columns instead of one, click on the two
triangles at the very top of the Toolbar.
Clicking on the triangles again will toggle
the Toolbar back to a single column.
 HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THE TOOLBAR IN
PHOTOSHOP

• Add/remove tools: If there are CC

2018 Photoshop tools that are missing
from the Toolbar, or if you want to
customize the tools visible in the
Toolbar, click on the three little dots
located at the bottom of the Toolbar,
just above the squares showing the
foreground and background colors.
 FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND
COLORS IN THE TOOLBAR

• Immediately below the three

dots in the Photoshop CC
2018 Toolbar, you’ll see two
color squares (the colors you
see in the squares will vary).
