Does Photoshop have a pen/sketchbook mode?

When I go into Illustrator with the pen/stylus, it recognizes the stylus and offers a simplified Penmode.

I really just want the option to use photoshop as a sketchbook like I can with AutoDesk Sketchbook that came preinstalled with the unit.

Windows store does not have Adobe Sketchbook for purchase/download and I can't find another adobe program that will act as a sketchbook.

Any Suggestions?

What are you talking about exactly?

Which features and output options do you expect of a »sketchbook«?

I guess more or less a minimalized "workspace" where the Layout enlarges when switched to this workspace/mode. Icouldn't think of the term to save my life, so I didn't even think to consider a custom "workspace" as an option.  But if your using Illustrator on a device that has a touch screen with a compatible stylus (mainly Wacom options) Illustrator will recognize the stylus and automatically switch to touch mode. The first image is Touch Mode off. The second image is Touch Mode on.

I am not aware of such an automatic functionality in Photoshop.
