5. Working with PhotoLine

## 5.2 How to Configure PhotoLine

You can adjust PhotoLine very flexibly according to your preferences.

The menu command Options/File is used to configure loading and saving files.

Options/Display. allows you to change the appearance of several helping items: the grid, guide line, the mask and so on.

Options/Working. define the way how some tools are working. One of the options is the number of undo steps.

Options/Extended contain options, that are not used very often. The most important setting here are the plug in settings.

In order to allow quick working you can assign a keyboard shortcut to every menu function and every tool in the toolbox with Options/Keyboard Layout....

You can show and hide the various icon bars and supporting dialogs of PhotoLine with the View menu (on Windows) and Windows menu (on macOS). For reasonable working the following items should be visible:

- the general bar
- the status bar (only on Windows)
- the toolbox
- the tool settings
- the layer dialog

If all these items are visible, you can be sure, that all relevant information is on screen.
