Display The
Same Image In Two Windows
When doing detail work on an image you may
need to zoom in to take a closer look at the
pixels. But to make sure that any changes
you're making in this magnified state will
look realistic at a normal view you'll have
to zoom out for a quick look. Here's a great
tip - instead of zooming in and out you can
have the same image open in two windows at
the same time.
With an open image selected choose Window>
Arrange> New Window (the original file name
will be listed). The same image will now
appear in a new second window.
Keep one window set at 100% to see your
effects, and work in the second window -
either zoomed in or zoomed out.
Instant
Grabber Hand
Ever been frustrated by having to switch
tools to move your image around the canvas?
Here's the solution — Press the Spacebar to
temporarily activate the Hand Tool. Click to
move an image freely inside a canvas area
that is smaller than the image. Release the
Spacebar and the hand tool will revert back
to the current tool you have selected
Quick
Revert - The Undo Command
To undo your last image modification Press
Control+Z), and repeat the shortcut to undo
the undo. Toggling back and forth like this
is a good technique to review the before and
after effects of a one-step change to an
image, like dodge or burn
NOTE: Photoshop
has ONE undo level. Ctrl Z will revert /
repeat.
To go back further (more undo's) Press
Ctrl+Alt+Z to select history movements. In
this manner, you can undo back to any stage,
although difficult to hold hand around those
keys, but faster than individual selecting
history components.
The Move
Tool & The Arrow Keys
Get in the habit of calling up the Move Tool
with the keyboard shortcut, which is the
letter V. Also, once the Move Tool is active
you can use your Keyboard Arrow Keys to
nudge a layer or selection in 1 pixel
increments. To speed things up, Press Shift
along with an arrow key to nudge in 10 pixel
increments.
Important Tip:
Always stay in Move Tool Mode, safer between
steps of thoughts of creativity. Today, all
our graphic artists have developed the habit
of immediately switching tools to sit idle
in the Move Tool, less errors.. |
