[QUOTE="technologist, post: 714567, member: 4134"] Photoshop does have a "grey background" button in one of the toolbars to hide the Desktop and other applications to minimize visual interference. This is specific to Photoshop...sort of a "darkroom" to keep your eyes where you need them. [url]http://www.expertvillage.com/video/107005_photoshop-screen-modes-tutorial.htm[/url]. Despite being named "Windows," that other operating system tends to encourage dedicating the entire screen to only one thing at a time. This is probably a legacy from the DOS days, when PCs could [i]do[/i] only one thing at a time, so it's a pretty alien concept on the Mac. If you're having trouble with this, you can: 1. Put an application in its own Space 2. Set your desktop to something less distracting, as you've done 3. Seek psychiatric help if you have trouble concentrating or staying focused. :) Like I said, one-thing-per-screen is a pretty [/QUOTE]
