Speed road to Photoshop

Sometimes when you're using the Crop tool (C), you change your mind and decide not to crop? Press the Escape key to cancel your crop and remove the cropping border. You can also click on the circle with a slash icon (the international symbol for "NO", image two in this post) on the far right of the Options Bar to cancel a crop. Or you can just switch tools—a dialog will appear asking you if you want to complete the crop or not- choose don't crop

Toolbox don't take much of space but maybe you will wish to get a little bit more space. Then just double-click on the very top of your Toolbox and it will tuck up out of the way, leaving just that little tab showing. Need it back fast, just double-click the little tab again and it comes right back.

If you look in the expanded Brushes palette , there's a list of controls on the left side of the dialog. At the top it shows Brush Presets, and you might figure that you can click on that and get some options, but the one that catches just about everyone off guard is just below that. It's the header for Brush Tip Shape and it is a button . Click right on the words "Brush Tip Shape" and the Brush Tip Shape options are revealed in the main panel on the right. There you can do additional adjustment of your brush.

You know that if you're using a selection tool and you need to add an additional area to your currently selected area, you can hold the Shift key, then any selection you draw with one of those tools will be added. But if you have a selection and instead you want to create a new selection that will intersect with your existing selection to create an entirely new selection draw your first selection, then up in the Options Bar you'll find four icons for various selection options. The first icon from right is Intersect with Selection. Click on it, then draw another selection that overlaps your existing selection and all will become clear.

Move tool (V) is used to move your current layer but by using of the Up/Down/Left/Right Arrow keys on your keyboard. For every press of an Arrow, it nudges your layer 1 pixel in that direction. If you hold the Shift key and use the Arrow keys, it nudges the object 10 pixels at a time. I use this for precision position of national insignia and labels as well classic left click move are not good enough

Options Bar can actually be re docked to the bottom of your screen, or you can make it into a floating palette. To make it float, just click on the little tab on the far-left side of the bar, drag it away and it float free. To dock it at the bottom of your screen, drag the tab down to the bottom left-hand side of your screen and it snaps into place. You can even hide the Options Bar altogether by choosing Options from the Window menu. You can always get it back by double-clicking on any tool or go to Windows menu and Reset pallete workspace.

We see images as we but what is behind of them? Usually images contain much more info and this info give some weigh to the file. Info behind the images are info about work on info, including even info about selection use in work, working steps etc., etc.... And we actually don't need this info. Clean way to remove it is hidden behind the Edit section. When click Edit we choose Purge and from next menu choose option. This will remove all of this information hidden in the image. Just to note that this have to be done before closing of file.
