When you first launch the PSA2 it appears in the fully expanded form, but you can resize it using the
Resize button. The compact control Panel contains top-level controls, which allow you enable or
disable all of the features and effects provided by PSA2. The purpose of this panel is to take up very
little space on your screen while providing easy access to most common controls. To set or change
settings, you need to expand to the Main Control Panel using the Resize Button. See Figure 9.

The Main Control Panel is in the center of the expanded mode, and is covered by the Visualization
Panel, which slides up and down. The Main Control panel provides access to advanced settings for
most PSA2 controls, which are grouped in five separate tabs. To uncover the Main Control Panel,
click on the pull down arrow at the bottom of the panel. See Figure 10.
