# About palettes

Palettes are available in both the Editor and Organizer workspaces; however, they behave a little differently in each. Palettes help you manage, monitor, and modify images. Some palettes have menus that provide additional commands and options. You can organize palettes in the workspace in many different ways. You can store palettes in the Palette Bin to keep them out of your way, but easily accessible, or you can keep frequently used palettes open in the workspace. Another option is to group palettes together or dock one palette at the bottom of another palette.

Note: Drag a palette out of the Palette Bin if you want to remove it from the Palette Bin and keep it open.

#### Palette menus

Some commands appear in both the palette menu and the menu bar. Other commands are exclusive to palette menus.

Only those palettes with a More button at the top have a menu. Click More to choose a command from the palette menu. The location and appearance of the More button depend on whether the palette is located in the Palette Bin or in a palette group.

#### Pop‑up sliders within palettes

Some palettes and dialog boxes contain settings that use pop‑up sliders (for example, the Opacity option in the Layers palette). If there is a triangle next to the text box, you can activate the pop‑up slider by clicking the triangle. Position the pointer over the triangle next to the setting, hold down the mouse button, and drag the slider or angle radius to the desired value. Click outside the slider box or press Enter to close the slider box. To cancel changes, press Esc.

To increase or decrease values in 10% increments when the pop‑up slider box is open, hold down Shift and press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key.
