Dockers

Dockers display controls, such as command buttons, options, and list boxes. Some dockers also include additional visual information about the tools or image elements. You can keep dockers open while you work on an image.

You can attach, or dock, dockers to either side of the application window, or you can float, or undock, them so you can move them as you work in the application window. You can also minimize dockers to save valuable screen space. If you open more than one docker at a time, the windows stack on top of each other and tabs display so you can quickly access the docker you want.

An example of a docker is the Objects docker. The Objects docker displays thumbnails of the image background and each object layer, as well as command buttons and options related to objects.
