When you start up Corel PaintShop Pro for the first time, the Manage workspace appears as your main workspace with the following four components: Navigation palette, Preview area, Organizer palette, and the Info palette. For information about each of these palettes, see The Manage workspace.
Manage workspace in Preview mode
Depending on your specific needs, you can customize the Manage workspace by choosing the Preview, Thumbnail, or Map mode, resizing, moving, or hiding the palettes, and selecting display and file preferences. For more information, see Setting Manage workspace preferences.

To switch between Preview, Thumbnail and Map modes
• In the upper-right corner of the Manage workspace, click one of the following buttons:
• Preview mode — displays a large preview area of a single image
• Thumbnail mode — expands and locks the Organizer palette content in the preview area
• Map mode — displays a map where photos can be matched to specific locations
1 Position the pointer over the edge of the palette that you want to resize until the pointer changes to a two-way arrow.
