Sample
wisely with the Eyedropper tool
The Eyedropper tool is great to use when you
want to take a color from one part of an
image and use it somewhere else. With that
said, when sampling colors, for the best
result, set the Sample Size pop-up menu to 3
By 3 Average on the tool options bar. This
will give a nice color representation.
Quickly undo an accidental save in
Photoshop
Have you ever flattened and saved a document
and then wanted to go back and make a
change? If so, you can undo that save using
a keyboard shortcut. Just press
([Alt][Ctrl]Z in Windows) a few times until
your file is back the way you want it.
Paste your images where you want in
Photoshop
When copying and pasting images from one
document to another, Photoshop places them
in the center of the new file by default.
However, if you make a selection on the new
document where you want the image to go,
Photoshop centers the pasted image within
that selection. So you can set guidelines by
using your Move Tool to drag a guideline
from Top or Left Window, then set a
selection Marquee, Cut and Paste into
Position.
Change your Photoshop ruler settings
If you have your rulers visible, all you
have to do to adjust the ruler settings is
double-click on the actual ruler. This
displays the Preferences dialog box, where
you can then adjust the rulers (and units)
settings.
Use your rulers
effectively. They are very handy tools. |
