i accidentally hit the little x on the palate to make it disapear, now i cant get the little palate box back, does anyone know how to fix this, i can still use the filters but i have to go to the filters menu the find the effect i want, but i want my palate back.

Under the window menu all the palettes are listed. Find it and it should come back.

Then go back to the window menu and select workspace then save workspace and name it something. That way if anything weird happens again you can just reset to your workspace again and all is good.

thanks i'll try that

If that doesn't work, go under the automate menu (file:automate) and select Color Efex Pro Selective.
