120 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT PHOTOSHOP

by Trevor Morris ( tmorris@fundy.net | http://user.fundy.net/morris/ )

Part of what makes Photoshop such an incredibly powerful and pleasurable program to use is its

well-thought out implementation: the interface is polished and uncluttered and easily

customizable (despite its vast arsenal of tools and commands). In fact, there is a surprising

amount of "hidden" functionality within Photoshop; so much so, that despite the number of years

you work with the program, you will undoubtedly keep discovering more and more about it. I

doubt anyone could claim that they know "everything" about Photoshop (except maybe Adobe's

software engineers ;-).

The 120 tips below should help you (whether you are a beginner or a seasoned expert) to

harness some of Photoshop's "hidden" functionality to streamline your work, perform complex

tasks more quickly or efficiently, or teach yourself something you had no idea Photoshop was

capable of!

For your convenience, the tips have been organized into the following ten categories:

Interface Tips [ 18 Tips ]

Tool Tips [ 11 Tips ]

Command Tips [ 21 Tips ]

Selection Tips [ 8 Tips ]

Layer Tips [ 14 Tips ]

Tips for Guides & Rulers [ 7 Tips ]

Navigation & HotKey Tips [ 7 Tips ]

Tips for Duplicating [ 10 Tips ]

Type Tips [ 10 Tips ]

ImageReady Tips [ 14 Tips ]

Here are a couple of notes before you begin:

• I tend to prefer hotkeys (e.g. [Ctrl+D] ), but I have provided equivalent alternatives (e.g.

Select » Deselect - which denotes a menu command) wherever possible

• Mac Users: Ctrl = Apple, Alt = Option (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+D = Apple·Option·D); right-click =

Option·click

INTERFACE TIPS

1. You probably knew that pressing the Tab key hides the toolbar and palettes, but you can also

press Shift+Tab to hide only the palettes (thereby leaving the toolbar visible).

2. Snap your palettes to the nearest screen edge by Shift-clicking on their titlebars.

3. Minimize palettes by double-clicking on their (names in the) palette tabs. Use the minimize

button on the palette titlebars to cycle between: compact mode (minimum number of options /

contents visible) and contents mode (view all palette options / contents).

Note: (Photoshop 6) You can also double-click the toolbar’s titlebar to minimize it.

4. Press Enter (or double-click on a tool icon in the toolbar) to reveal the Options palette for the

currently active tool; alternatively, you may choose Window » Show Options from the menus to

reveal the Options palette.

5. Use the Zoom field (in the bottom-left of the Photoshop window or Navigator palette) to quickly

enter an exact zoom level; press Shift+Enter after entering a value to have the field remain active.

6. To change the (document size) information displayed in the status bar (bottom of the screen –

Window » Show Status Bar), click on the > button and choose a new item from the pop-up menu.

Click on the status bar (to the left of the > button) to display the Print Size of the current

document. Alt-click to see the image dimensions and resolution. Ctrl-click for Tile information.

7. You can fill the (gray) canvas borders with the foreground color by Shift-clicking on it with the

Paint Bucket tool [K].

Note: To replace the default color, change the foreground color to 25% gray (R192,G192,B192)

and Shift-click on the canvas border again.

8. Hold down the Alt key to change any Cancel button into a Reset button (in any dialog box); this

allows you to easily restore values without having to Cancel and come back.

9. Use the Caps Lock key to turn Precise Cursors on / off.

Note: This does not work if Precise Cursors are already enabled in the Preferences [Ctrl+K,

Ctrl+3] (File » Preferences » Display & Cursors...).

10. Press "F" to cycle between three different Full Screen modes (or use the Mode buttons near

the bottom of the toolbar).

Tip: Press Shift+F to toggle the menus in Full Screen mode.

11. Double-clicking on Photoshop's background (the gray background) will summon the Open

command [Ctrl+O] (File » Open...).

12. Shift-click on the color ramp (on the Color palette [F6] (Window » Show Color)) to change the

spectrum. Alternatively, you may either right-click on the color ramp or open the Color palette

menu to select an alternate color mode.

13. Right-click on an image window's titlebar to quickly access features like Canvas Size, Image

Size and Duplicate.

14. Pausing the mouse pointer over an image window's titlebar will reveal (via a tool tip) the full

path of the current document.

15. Add a custom color to the Swatches palette (Window » Show Swatches) by clicking on any

empty (gray) area. Remove a color by Ctrl-clicking on it. Replace a color by Shift-clicking on it.

Insert a new swatch color (between two other colors) by Alt+Shift-clicking on either color.

16. Use the Hexadecimal Color Field ( # ) in the Color Picker to copy and paste color values from

one place in Photoshop to another (or even to another application that supports Hexadecimal

color values).

17. To increase / decrease the size of the Curves window [Ctrl+M] (Image » Adjust » Curves...),

click on the maximize / minimize button.

Note: Clicking the maximize / minimize button toggles the Curves grid between 171 pixels and

256 pixels wide. For greater accuracy, use the larger grid, since you have control over all 256

shades of gray in the image (compared to 171 shades by using the small grid).

Tip: Alt-click on the Curves window to increase the grid size.
