How To Turn Off/Customize Large Animated Tooltips of Photoshop
By default, the Adobe Photoshop has a display of large animated tooltips (called “rich tooltips”) when you hover over the tools. They are pretty handy at first, but they can also quickly become annoying. Below is how you can turn them off.
Types Of Photoshop's Tooltips
Adope Photoshop has a large amount of animated tools but shows just two major types of tooltips:
1. Regular tooltips: A regular tooltip brings out the displays the name of the tool that you are hovering over.
2. Rich tooltips: But a rich tooltip shows you how a tool can work with animation.
When you enable the rich tooltips, Photoshop will hide the regular tooltips. But if the richtooltips is turned off, you will be able to view the regular ones, but it is still possible for you to also turn off all the tooltips, that is if you want.
How To Turn The Rich Tooltips Off in Photoshop
1. Before you to hide animated tooltips, the first thing you have to do is to launch the Photoshop application on your computer.
2. After launching the app, If you are making use of a Windows PC, tap the “Edit” menu button located at the top of the Photoshop window and then select Preferences > Tools. And if you’re a Mac user, just tap “Photoshop” in the menu bar and then select Preferences > Tools.
3. Open the Preferences from the menu bar on your Mac. In the Preferences window that you have opened, uncheck the “Show Rich Tooltips” option. Then, you tap “OK” on the right side to save your changes. (It is possible that you might see this option listed as “Use Rich Tooltips” instead in some versions of Photoshop.)
4. If you are going to disable the regular tooltips as well, first you should uncheck the “Show Tooltips” option, which is located above option of the rich tooltips. Otherwise, it’s fine to leave those enabled.
5. Now navigate to the Preferences > Tools, uncheck "Show Rich Tooltips." If you decide to change your mind and you want to restore the rich tooltips back, you just need to reopen the Photoshop Preferences > Tools and then you place a check mark beside the “Show Rich Tooltips.” Then tap “OK.”
While you are trying to work on the cleaning up of your Photoshop interface, you might as well want to eliminate all the unwanted menu items from the app. Removing all the unwanted menu items from your app makes the Photoshop menus look cleaner.
