4. The Screen Setup of PhotoLine

## 4.2 The Most Important Dialogs

At the first sight the amount of dialogs may be overwhelming. But not all dialogs have to be always visible in order to use PhotoLine.

The really important dialogs - aside the menu bar - are the general bar, the toolbox, the tool settings and the layers. On Windows the inexperienced user should turn on the status bar, because it is showing help for the current tool. The experienced user should turn on the Attribute Dialog, because this is showing the most important settings and attributes of a layer.

You may not always turn on the many list, because they can be quickly accessed by clicking on the small arrow symbol of the corresponding field.

By arranging the dialogs correctly it is possible to work effectively with a screen resolution as low as 800x600 pixels. The following screenshot is showing this:

The most important dialogs are on-screen and there is still room to turn on things like the card or some icon bars without reducing the document space.
