Circled numbers correspond to the numbers in the following table, which describes the main components of the application window.

Part	Description
1. Menu bar	Lets you access tools and features using pull-down menu options
2. Brush Selector bar	Lets you open the Brush library panel to choose a brush category and variant. It also allows you to open and manage brush libraries.
3. Property bar	Displays basic commands that relate to the active tool or object. For example, when the Fill tool is active, the fill property bar displays commands for filling selected areas.
4. Extended property bar	Displays commands and provides access to advanced settings that relate to the active tool or brush. For example, when you choose a brush that uses the Texture painting technology, the extended property bar provides access to advanced Texture brush settings.
5. Palette drawer	You can turn a palette into a palette drawer, so you can quickly collapse it to save screen space.
6. Color set libraries	Color sets are collections of colors that help you organize and store colors. You can choose a color from the color set, and then apply it to a brushstroke.
7. Layers panel	Lets you manage the hierarchy of layers and includes controls for creating, selecting, hiding, locking, deleting, naming, and grouping layers
8. Color selector	The color selector is a floating color palette that displays in the document window and allows you to view and choose colors in the context of your image.
9. Toolbox	Lets you access tools for creating, filling, and modifying an image
10. Canvas	The canvas is the rectangular work area inside the document window whose size determines the size of the image you create. The canvas acts as the image background and, unlike a layer, it is always locked.
