And as before, if you need the full functionality of Bridge, just click on the BR icon, either within the Mini-Bridge palette or at the top of the screen. As with the full Bridge, you can choose different display options, depending upon what information you need or want: Thumbnails, As Filmstrip, Details, or List. Essentially, it’s a palette (or panel) within Photoshop that’s really a window onto Bridge, allowing full access to all your image files without having to leave Photoshop.

The most significant workflow improvement to the interface is the introduction of Mini-Bridge. What’s more, if you make changes to any Workspace (such as Photography) and then switch to another (such as Painting), when you return to Photography, those changes will be retained.

Instead, it is always immediately available at the top of the screen to the right of the Ribbon Bar. For instance, the revamped Workspace switcher is no longer buried in the Window drop-down menu. Photoshop CS5’s interface remains comfortably familiar, though slightly changed-and more efficient to use. Interface: Everything Is Where It Should Be.

Texture Painting: You can open the 2D texture and paint it directly. However, in general, it is a lower-performance painting method and may result in cracks when you’re painting complex 3D objects. Projection Painting: (Default in Photoshop Extended CS6) Projection Painting is suitable for painting multiple textures simultaneously or for painting the seam between two textures. During the merge operation, Photoshop automatically projects the paint onto the appropriate target textures. The Layer Projection Painting method involves merging a painted layer with the underlying 3D layer. Layer Projection Painting: The Gradient tool and filters use this painting method. This 3D painting method offers high performance and minimum distortion.
