Using palette menus



Palette menus are an important part of working with Photoshop Elements. Some commands in palette menus can be found in the menu bar; other commands are exclusive to palette menus.

When a palette has a palette menu, a triangle icon appears at the top of the palette. The exact location and appearance of the triangle icon depends on where the palette is located: in the palette well, in a palette group, or in the options bar.
