Organize All These Panels?

When you choose to add a panel to what you see onscreen, in most cases, it just appears onscreen next to the ones you already have open. In many cases, they attach to the left edge of your already open panels, and they start to cover more and more of your image area. I personally prefer to keep all my panels in groups over on the right side of the window, so I have as much room for my images as possible. If you like keeping things tidy like this, there are two things you can do: (1) You can group (nest) panels together by clicking on a panel’s tab and dragging it onto another panel’s tab. As you’re dragging over onto the other panel you want to nest it with, you’ll see a blue stroke appear around the group of panels (as seen above left). Once you see that, just release your mouse button and it joins that group. So, you’re pretty much dragging tabs together to form a group. Easy enough. (2) You can also attach panels directly below any open panel, pretty much the same way. But, in this case, you’ll drag the tab to the bottom of a panel. When it’s about to “dock,” you’ll see a solid blue line appear along the bottom of the panels you’re about to dock with (as seen above center). Now, just release the mouse button and it attaches to the bottom of the existing panels to form a vertical group (as seen above right).
