Setting up the Manage workspace
When you start up Corel PaintShop Pro for the first time, the Manage workspace appears as your main workspace with the following four components: Navigation palette, Preview area, Organizer palette, and the Info palette. For information about each of these palettes, see The Manage workspace.
Depending on your specific needs, you can customize the Manage workspace by choosing the Preview or Thumbnail mode, resizing, moving, or hiding the palettes, and selecting display and file preferences. For more information, see Setting Manage workspace preferences.
