CODE
Mentioned before with more explanation:
- Pressed F to switch to 3 different viewing mode… when I first try it I said “wtf? what it’s for?” Well, if
you are sick of painting your image on the corners just to find yourself resizing your current image
window, with F you can pan way outside your image. Happy corner painting!!

original layer and free transform the new one. Move the pivot point (the circle with little dot in it found

82. You can link up layers without going into the layers palette, by selecting the layer (how I just
mentioned above) and holding down CTL + Shift(CMD + SHIT on a Mac) for each additional layer
you want to link up. You can unlink them by clicking on the layer again.
83. You can delete more than one layer at a time…….by linking up all the layer you want to delete,
and holding down CTL(CMD on a Mac) while you click on the garbage icon to delete the layer.
84. When using the type tool you can ok it by pressing CTL + Enter(CMD + Enter on a Mac) instead
of clicking on the check mark on the options.
85. If you have more than one type layer, and want to make any of the following changes
color/font/size/alignment/initializing to all of the type layers at the same time…..All you have to do is
link up the type layer, hold down the Shift key and in the options for the type tool make your change
i.e. color, size, etc.
86. You can use your number pad to change opacity for a layer…. I.e. type 5 and the opacity will be
50; type 55 and the opacity will be 55. You can use the number pad for any tool that uses
opacity…like the airbrush tool, stamp tool, brush, gradient, etc.
87. Pressing Tab key will hide the Tools palette and any other palette that you have on the stage.
Pressing “F” will change between Full Screen modes. Using these two tips you can view your work
Full Screen without any palettes.(You can press CTL+Alt+0 to fit your work to the screen, or you can
press CTL+0 to zoom to 100%)
88. Pressing the “+” and “-” keys while holding down CTL+Alt will resize the whole document
window, not just the work area.
89. You can delete a layer by holding down the “Alt” key and pressing “L” twice……actually now with
Photoshop 7 you got to press “L” three times. It’s not actually a keyboard shortcut, but it’s a quick
way to do it….don’t know if it works on a MAC.
90. Pan documents with the space bar.
91. Ctrl+click a layer (in layers palette) to select it’s transparency.
92. Ctrl+Alt+click between 2 layers in the palette to group them.
93. Alt + click in “add layer mask” button to add a black layer mask (instead of a white one).
94. When you select something, pressing Ctrl+J will copy the selected area and add another layer
with the copied area - opposing copying the layer, making a new layer, and pasting it.
95. To glue the palettes together (all palettes combined into one strip), you just drag & drop a palette
onto the end of another palette (watch the rectangle that indicates where the palette will get
attached to).
96. Hold down Alt while Burning to Dodge instead, and vice versa.
97. Ctrl-click a layer to select an objects; alternatively, you may select more than one object/s in
more than 1 layer by holding Shift while using the method just mentioned (Ctrl-click). To deselect,
just press Ctrl+D.
98. If you have a mini scroll on your mouse, you may use that to zoom in (scroll up) or zoom out
(scroll down).
99. Need to locate a layer quick? Use the Move Tool (V) and right click on the area the object lays.
There should now be a “cursor-menu” with all the layers that is in that particular area. Now take a
good guess and see which one of them fits the shoe; select a layer and Ctrl-Click the layer in the
Layer Palette - see if the selection traces the object you desired to edit/find. Useful for those messy
people (i.e. me!).
100. Need to get rid of a background quick? Assuming you at least know how to crop around an
object, do so. Now press Ctrl+I or Shift+Ctrl+I for Inverse Selection. Press Ctrl+X to %@#!* that part
out, and you should be left with the object!
101. Want to save the time from loading All your Photoshop brushes, when your Photoshop
accidentally forgets to load them up (happens to me sometimes)? Select the brush tool, and click
the little arrow pointing right (located at the top toolbar), next to the Master Diameter tick. Go down
to Preset Manager and now there should be a menu of all the brushes currently loaded. Click on the
first brush (top left) and scroll down to the bottom. Now hold Shift and click the last brush (bottom
right). This should highlight all the brushes. See the “Save Set” to the right in the menu? Click that
and name your brush set whatever you want, for this matter I just name it All (so I remember that
this brush set contains all the brushes I currently have loaded, and is located near the top when
loading the brushes up).
