Personal Workspaces
Everyone’s work flow is different so you will have different windows and such open. The best thing to do is to open the windows you use most and then save it as a new work space. So when photoshop opens you can be working in the environment that is most contusive to your work flow.

Recording ActionsOpen a file.

Enter an action name, select an action set, and set additional options:Function Key Assigns a keyboard shortcut to the action. You can choose any combination of a function key, the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS), and the Shift key (for example, Ctrl+Shift+F3), with these exceptions: In Windows, you cannot use the F1 key, nor can you use F4 or F6 with the Ctrl key.Note: If you assign an action the same shortcut that is used for a command, the shortcut will apply the action rather than the command.
You can record your own Actions
with a few easy steps
Recording ActionsClick Begin Recording. The Begin Recording button in the Actions panel turns red .Important: When recording the Save As command, do not change the filename. If you enter a new filename, that new name is recorded and used each time you run the action. Before saving, if you navigate to a different folder, you can specify a different location without having to specify a filename.
