Greg ...you have created a GREAT overview, filled with GREAT suggestions based on your needs as a photographer for Workplace set up ..thanks

Thank you

That doubble click/collapse trick was new to me, thank you. I do a lot of compositing, so I almost always need easy acces to most of the menus. It is nice that Photoshop offers the option to completely customize the menu / info system to many different needs.

Great review ... one feature I use for that narrow column of icons is to simply make the column slightly wider, so the name of the panel appears. (Some of the icons are not obviously suggestive of the tool.)

[@gregbenzphotography]

Yeah, I thought of showing that, and then forgot when recording. I don’t use it, but it would be helpful for learning - especially for those who put numerous icons there.

Awesome video Greg, do you think you could do a video on working between LR and PS? I find myself ending up with a bunch of versions of the same image or just a big mess of different file types like TIFFs, RAWS, PNG. I guess an overall workflow video where you go from LR Import, Opening in PS/maybe even using some other programs like Topaz Labs (if you have those) and then finally exporting from Web Sharp Pro. I find myself avoiding PS because its so much easier for me to just do basic edits in LR and then export them all at once without the fuss of having to open all 50 of my images in PS. Kind of rambling at this point but would love a video like that, thanks Greg!

[@gregbenzphotography]

Sure. What questions do you have on that workflow / integration?

[@TaylorMadeMoment]

@@gregbenzphotography well it’s mainly I’m just curious how you would go from Importing to LR and then finally exporting, I’m assuming you use your Web Sharp Pro plugin which I have. I guess I find myself with a bunch of JPEGs/Pngs in random folders that I use for uploading to social media but then I go into my LR catalog and I’ll find random Tiffs from various projects. I’d love to see how a pro keeps the flow all organized.

Sounds good. Yes, I primarily use WSP for exports.

greg, great video with lots of good information. But when I did the configuration for Luzemina and got the color menu drop downs I can't figure out how to go back to normal. They drive me nuts.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Edit / Menus and set the dropdown to the PS defaults

[@ednsb]

@@gregbenzphotography Thanks in advance,

With Photoshop being part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, do you know if you login to a different computer and install Photoshop on that computer, will your custom workspace settings be available on that computer? Would be nice if you didn't have to go through customizing the workspace on the other computer.

You can export and share menus, toolbars, and workspaces to load on another installation of PS
