Hiding the Toolbar

Once you get familiar with the common controls and the keyboard shortcuts, you may
want to hide the Toolbar altogether to simplify the interface and provide more room for
the Canvas.

To hide the Toolbar
Do one of the following:

µ

Click the Toolbar button in the upper-right corner of the main window.

µ

Choose View > Hide Toolbar.

µ

Press Command-Option-T.

Toolbar button

If the Toolbar is currently hidden, these same controls all show the Toolbar instead of
hiding it.

Canvas

The majority of your screen is occupied by your main work area, the Canvas. This is similar
to the document window in many other applications. It is here that you arrange and lay
out the layers that comprise your composite. Adding layers and effects to your project is
as simple as dragging them from the utility window to the Canvas.
