Question

How do I get window such as layers actions info history always on top ?

Hi,

I open many photos and they fill the area to left of the right hand window panels then as they form they overlap it, so I cant carry out any work .

There was a time these panels at right stayed on top of the work, sensible as that is, then in one new version they sank underneath, I have struggled with this for far too long. How do I get them to stay on top of work ?

All I can do at present is to identify the pics and drag them to the left but opening e.g. 100 pics that I need open at same time, thats a lot of fiddling.

      Hi,

      details of version I have and pc below, and what I am suffering, though with three images I can move them, but didnt want to open loads more to do this printscreen this time. When I have many open they run down screen then head east ! As I say, an earlier version of Pshop never had this happen.

      I dont have that menu choice it seems,

      where might it be in cs6 ?

      Photoshop cs6

      win7 64bit pro

      nvidia GTX970

      You can configure your workspace many ways and undock docked palettes.  It sound like you may be using Adobe essentials default workspace  you may also have altered it.  A screen capture would help us see what you are seeing.
