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.
