Choosing a workspace

Corel PHOTO-PAINT includes a collection of workspaces that are designed to help you increase your productivity. A workspace is a configuration of settings that specifies how the various command bars, commands, and buttons are arranged when you open the application. Their purpose is to make more accessible the tools that you use most often. You can choose a workspace from the Welcome Screen, or you can switch to a different workspace from within the application.

The following table describes the available workspaces.

Workspace	Description
Lite	This workspace makes Corel PHOTO-PAINT’s most commonly used tools and features more accessible. If you are new to Corel PHOTO-PAINT, the Lite workspace is ideal for getting started.
X6 Inspired	This workspace is almost identical to the default Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 workspace. It is best suited for experienced Corel PHOTO-PAINT users who are looking for a seamless transition to a modern yet familiar environment in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2017. Many elements of the workspace have been optimized for a more streamlined workflow.
Default	This workspace has been redesigned to provide a more intuitive placement of tools and controls. If you have experience using Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or another photo-editing application, the default workspace is a good choice. Help topics are based on the Default workspace.
Touch	Optimized for touch-enabled devices, the Touch workspace is ideal for field work and sketching. Complete your tasks by using touch, dial, or a stylus, without needing a mouse or keyboard.
Adobe Photoshop	Simulates the Adobe Photoshop workspace by positioning the Corel PHOTO-PAINT features where you would find the equivalent feature in Adobe Photoshop. This workspace is useful if you recently switched from Adobe Photoshop to Corel PHOTO-PAINT and you are not familiar with the Corel PHOTO-PAINT workspace.

If you have a unique workflow, you can create a custom workspace that is optimized for your specific needs. For more information, see Creating workspaces.
