The Options Bar is a menu of options at the top of the Workspace, and is unique to the tool selected. Notice that for each tool you select, a new вЂњOptions BarвЂќ will show up. When you place your mouse cursor over a tool, the name of that tool appears below your cursor as a tool tip, along with that toolsвЂ™ speed key. All single-digit Speed Keys in Photoshop are reserved for the Tools Panel for ease of use.

The diagram to the right shows an example of tools вЂњhiddenвЂќ underneath the top tool once you вЂњexpandвЂќ them by clicking on the triangle.Д«eside most tools in the diagram on the previous page is a keystroke in parentheses - this is the toolsвЂ™ speed key. (covered in Digital Photography and future Apogee articles.) DonвЂ™t be overwhelmed: YouвЂ™ll only need a handful of these on a regular basis. Not only are there around 20+ tools showing вЂњon topвЂќ, but wherever there is a triangle in the bottom right-hand corner of the tool, there are more tools underneath the tool on top. There are dozens of tools contained in the Tools Panel. Generally speaking, any time that you see a square or rectangular box with a color in it, you can click on the box and access the Color Picker.

You also have access to the Color Picker in many other functions, such as the Text Tool, the Line Tool, and so on. The most common way to access the Color Picker is to click on the foreground or background color in the Tools Panel: the Color Picker will then pop up. The Color Picker can be accessed throughout the program. To change the view, click on the double arrow at the very top of the tools panel. You have two view options: a single column view, and the вЂњclassicвЂќ double column view. The Tools Panel is generally found on the left side of your screen.
