PHOTOSHOP TIPS and TRICKS


1) STEP-AND-REPEAT: Photoshop's Edit>Free Transform command (Mac:
Command-T [PC: Control-T]) offers some additional keyboard shortcuts for
"step-and-repeat" functions that can be very useful:

a. To make the same transformation again, for an additive effect or
with a different layer targeted, Transform Again by pressing MAC:
Command-Shift-T (PC: Control-Shift-T).

b. To make a new copy and transform the copy, press MAC:
Command-Option-Shift-T (PC: Control-Alt-Shift-T.


2) RESET CHARACTER: Photoshop CS remembers whatever settings you last
used to format type. To quickly reset Photoshop's type to it's "default"
standard settings, just go to the Character palette and choose Reset
Character from the palette's pop-down menu.


3) CYCLE THROUGH ALL OPEN EOCUMENTS: Press Control-Tab (both Mac and
PC) multiple times to cycle through all the documents that are currently
open


4) ALL-CHANGE MODE: Hold SHIFT when clicking the Full-Screen Mode icon
at the bottom of the Toolbox to change the mode of all the open documents.


5) ADD A LAYER BELOW THE ACTIVE LAYER: Mac: Command-Click (PC:
Right-click) the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers Palette to add a
layer below the active one.


6) ADD, TAKE AWAY, OR INTERSECT A SELECTION: You can Mac: Command-Click
(PC: Control-Click) on a path, channel, or layer to load it as a selection.
Hold Shift to add to an active selection, Mac: Option (PC: Alt) to take
away, and Mac: Shift-Option (PC: Shift-Alt) to intersect it.


7) WHERE'S THE IMAGE?: Sorry PC users, but there doesn't seem to be an
equivalent for this Mac shortcut. Command-click on the file name that
appears at the top of your document to see where the image is stored on your
hard drive. Release your mouse button when it's on the folder name and then
that folder will open in the Finder. OK. Here's one that's unique to
Windows: Press F twice to enter Full Screen Mode and your menus will
disappear. On the Mac you're out of luck, but in Windows click the small
triangle that now appears at the top of the Toolbox and you'll get a pop-p
with all menus.


8) WORKING WITH GUIDES: Hold Mac: Option (PC: Alt) to change the
direction of the guide (horizontal/vertical), hold Shift to snap it to the
tick marks of your ruler, and hold Mac: Command (PC: Control) to move a
guide when using a tool other than the Move tool. Hold the Mac: Control key
(PC: Right-click) after you start to drag something (guide, selection,
layer, etc.) to prevent it from snapping to other objects.


9) OEN AN IMAGE, CLOSE THE FILE BROWSER: If you double-click on an
image in the File Browser, the File Browser remains open. To close the File
Browser as you open an image, hold down Mac: Option (PC: Alt) as you
double-click on the image in the File Browser.


10) PICK COLOR FROM ANYWHERE: You can use the Eyedropper tool to pick
colours from all areas of your screen (not just an active document). Just
click within a document first, and then drag outside of the window onto the
object you'd like to sample.


11) HIGHLIGHT YOUR MAGNIFICATION: To experiment with different
magnification settings (either at the bottom left-hand corner of your image
window or in the Navigator palette), type in a new magnification percentage,
and then hold down the Shift key as your press Enter. Now the percentage
stays highlighted so you can quickly enter a different percentage.


12) USE CUSTOM SHAPES TO MASK ADJUSTMENT LAYERS: To create an Adjustment
Layer using a Shape Mask (as opposed to a pixel-based mask), try this: Add a
Custom Shape layer to your document. Go under Layer>Change Layer Content to
pick the adjustment your want. Now the Adjustment Layer will be masked by
the custom vector shape. If you need to apply filters to the Shape Mask,
you'll have to convert it to a pixel-based mask by rasterizing the vector
mask.


13) HANG THE PUNCTUATION: If you use quotation marks in your paragraph
type, make typographers happy with this technique. From the Paragraph
palette's pop-up menu, choose Roman Hanging Punctuation. This will cause
punctuation marks to appear just outside the boundaries of the paragraph
text box.


14) SLIDE SHOW: To create a "slide show" that you control manually in CS,
follow these steps. With all the documents open, hold down the Shift key and
click on the Full Screen Mode button at the bottom of the toolbox. (You may
have to press Mac: Command-+ or - (PC: Control-+ or -) to zoom in or out to
get the ideal magnification).


15) CREATE CUSTOM SHAPES: You can create and save custom paths for use with
the Custom Shape tool - for example, company logos, even copyright info,
anything that you can define with a path. Create a path from the artwork or
type (or copy and paste from a vector program) and then use the command
Edit>Define Custom Shape.


16) SAVE SETS: Remember that simply creating a Custom Shape (or Style)
doesn't save it. From the Custom Shape Picker's pop-up menu, choose Save
Shapes. Alternatively, use the Presets Manager (opened through the Edit
menu) to create a saved set.


17) CLONE ON AN EMPTY LAYER: Always do your cloning on an empty layer and
leave your Background layer intact. Remember to check the "Use All Layers"
box in the Options bar.


18) SAVE DEFAULTS IN SHADOW/HIGHLIGHT: The default settings in the
Shadow/Highlight command may be to your liking - or you may find yourself
changing them all the time. To make the defaults your own, click on the Show
More Options button, then adjust the settings to your choice for defaults,
then click the Save as Defaults button.


19) LOWER THE NUMBER OF HISTORY STATES: If you routinely work on very large
images, you may find the PS slows down considerably. This may be due to the
number of History States you have PS remembering. In the General Preferences
window, lower the number of History States from the default of 20.


20) FIND THE CENTER: To find the centre of the contents of the Layer,
choose View>Show Rulers and then call up Free Transform by hitting Mac:
Command-T (PC: Control-T). While the Free Transform Rectangle is visible,
you can drag guides out of the Rulers and they will "snap to" the grabber
handles and centre point. Be sure to hit the ESC key to dismiss the Free
Transform rectangle without making any changes.




(21-40)



21) WANNA LIGHTEN OR DARKEN AN AREA IN YOUR IMAGE? To lighten or darken an
area of a photograph, make a selection around the problem area with a
feathered edge. Press MAC: Command-J (PC: Control-J) to turn the selection
into a layer. Change the Blend Mode to Screen or Multiply and adjust the
Opacity in the Layers palette to correct the area. Multiply Mode will darken
and Screen Mode will lighten the area while protecting the contrast of the
affected area.



22a) GET RID OF FRINGE PIXELS, TAKE 1: Sometimes when your combine multiple
images for a collage, you see a slight fringe around the edges of layers
that are copied from other images. In many cases you can remove that fringe
by going to Layers>Matting>Defringe. Try using the default setting of 1.
That will often do the trick, but if not, choose Undo (from the Edit menu)
and go back and try a Defringe setting of 2.



b) GET RID OF FRINGE PIXELS, TAKE 2: If defringe doesn't work, or the edges
end up looking a little jagged, here's another alternative to Defringe. MAC:
Command-Click (PC: Control-click) on the layer name in the Layers palette to
load a selection of the contents of the layer. Then from the Select menu,
choose Modify>Contract and contract by 1-3 pixels. Go back to the Select
menu and choose inverse. Press MAC: Command-H (PC: Control-H) to hide your
selection then add a very slight Gaussian Blur (Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur)
of 1 pixel or less.



c) GET RID OF THE FRINGE PIXELS, TAKE 3: Here's another variation on the
same theme. MAC: Command-click (PC: Control-click) on the layer name in the
Layers palette to load a selection of the contents of the layer. Then from
the Select menu, choose Modify>Border and enter 2 for the value. In the
layers palette, switch to the Background layer, then press MAC: Command-J
(PC: Control-J) to copy the selected area on to its own layer. Move the
"border layer" above the fringed layer and change the mode to Lighten to
hide a light colored fringe, Darken to hide a dark fringe.



23) REMEMBER MORE FILES: By default, PS remembers the last 10 files you've
opened. Actually, that's not quite true: it remembers 30 files but only
shows the last 10 because that's the default preference. To see a list of
the last 30 files you worked on, press MAC: Command-K (PC: Control-K) to
open Preferences, and then press the Next button to go to the File Handling
dialogue. At the bottom you'll see that the "Recent file list contains" box
is set to 10. Change that to 30 and you'll have a nice long list under
File>Open Recent.



24) PAINT AWAY COLOR: When you're working on a color image, you can use the
Brush tool to selectively "paint away" color so that the image looks black
and white. Whit the Brush tool active, go to the Options Bar and change the
Blending mode from Normal to Color, use Black as your Foreground color, and
start "painting away" the color.



25) NAVIGATION WHILE IN DIALOGS: Even when you're working in dialogs such as
Levels, or in most filters, you can still access most of the View menu
features. This enables you to navigate within your document, change your
views, and toggle rulers on and off, etc. while the dialog is open. You can
also press MAC: Command-+ or - (PC: Control-+ or -) to zoom in and out, or
use the Spacebar to activate the Hand tool to scroll your view.



26) ACCESSING GRAYED OUT FILTERS IN CMYK: If you're working in CMYK mode,
you'll notice that many of the filters are "grayed" out in the Filter menu,
so you cannot access them. Rather than converting to RGB, which could affect
the colors, try this: go to the Channels palette and click on the CYAN
channel. Now look in the Filter menu and you'll see that all filters are
available. All you have to do is apply the same filter to all four channels,
one at a time. To do this quickly apply the filter to the CYAN channel, then
press MAC: Command-2 (PC: Control-2) to activate the Magenta channel, and
MAC: Command-F (PC: Control-F) to reapply the same filter. Press Command-3,
Command-F for the Yellow channel then Command-4, Command-F to apply it to
the Black channel. (One note: this doesn't work as well with "random"
filters such as Render Clouds).



27) IMAGE TOO LARGE TO SCAN?: Got an image that's too large to scan in one
piece? Simply scan each half, making sure that there is a significant
overlap between the pieces (for example, include the same person or portion
of the same building in each scan). Then open both halves and use
File>Automat>Photomerge to automatically stitch the two halves together.



28) QUICKLY MAKE WHITE YOUR BACKGROUND COLOR: Just press the letters "d" and
"y" and your Foreground color will instantly be white.



29) CHANGE OPACITY FROM YOUR KEYBOARD: For any tool that has a slider for
Opacity (or Strength, Exposure, or Tolerance), don't bother going to the
Options Bar to change the setting. Just press the first number of the
percentage you want: for example, 1 for 10%, 8 for 80%, etc. Use 0 for 100%.
If the Move tool is selected, the same key strokes will change the opacity
of your active layer (as long as the Layers palette is floating - it will
not work if the palette is docked).



30) BETTER GRAYSCALE CONVERSIONS: Using the Channel Mixer is a great way to
convert a color image to grayscale, but it does take some experimentation.
Another way to do this (with less control but excellent results) is to
convert your file to Lab mode. In the Channels palette, just click on the
Lightness channel and then change the mode to Grayscale.



31) TURN LAYERS INTO SEPARATE DOCUMENTS: If you have created a multi-layered
document and you need to create separate documents from those layers, there'
s an automated way to do this. From the File menu choose Scripts>Export
Layers to Files. A dialog will offer lots of choices as to what formant you
want, file naming, etc.



32) CHANGE CHANNELS IN ADJUSTMEN DIALOGUE BOXES: When you're using Levels,
Curves or other Adjustment commands, use the keyboard to switch between
channels:

MAC: Command-1 (PC: Control-1): Red (Cyan in CMYK Mode)

Command-2 (Control-2): Green (Magenta in CMYK Mode)

Command-3 (Control-3): Blue (Yellow in CMYK Mode)

Command-4 (Control-4): Black (only in CMYK Mode)

Command-~ (Control-~): Master/overall (RGB or CMYK, depending on the mode)



33) RESET THE PREFERENCES AS YOU LAUNCH: You've probably heard that the best
way to fix many common problems in PS is to delete the Preferences. Rather
than struggling to find the preference file and delete it, instead, quit
Photoshop and then re-launch it, holding down MAC: Command-Option-Shift (PC:
Control-Alt-Shift). You'll be asked if you want to delete the preferences.
Click OK and all your settings will revert back to the original
"out-of-the-box" defaults.



34) ZOOM TRICK: To keep your document window the same size while zooming up
and down, hold MAC: Option (PC: Alt) while pressing MAC: Command-+ or - (PC:
Control - + or -).



35) OPEN MULTIPLE FILES: In the Open command, you can open several images at
once from the same folder by using Shift or Command (PC: Control). In the
Open dialog, Shift-click to open documents "in a row", or use MAC: Command
(PC: Control) and click on "discontinuous" names. Then click Open.



36) CHANGE RULER MEASUREMENT: To change the unit of measurement for your
rulers, don't bother going to the Preferences, just MAC: Control-click (PC:
Right-click) on the rulers and a pop-up box will let you choose the new unit
of measurement.



37) SEE YOUR TYPE COLOR: When you've highlighted type and are trying to
change the color you can't actually see the color since the text is
highlighted. To see the color you want to apply, press MAC: Command-H (PC:
Control-H) to hide the highlighting. Now you'll be able to see the colors as
you choose them for your text.



38) MAXIMIZE FILE BROWSER: Give yourself the maximum viewing area for the
File Browser by viewing it in Full Screen Mode, with all palettes hidden. To
do this, hold the MAC: Command key (PC: Control) and then click on the File
Browser button in the Options bar and you'll get the maximum view File
Browser. Closing the Browser won't get your palettes back - you have to MAC:
Command-click (PC: Control-click) the File Browser button again. To get back
to the regular setup (the standard size File Browser and all your palettes
back) just click the Browser's Zoom button, then press the Tab key on your
keyboard twice.



39) CYCLE THROUGH LAYER BLEND MODES: With the Move tool selected, press
Shift-+ or - to cycle through the Layer Blending Modes.



40) UNDO ON A SLIDER: After you've applied a filter, used a tool such as the
Brush, Blur or Dodge tools (any tool that uses a brush shape) or used an
adjustment command like Levels, you can use the Fade command to gradually
reduce the effects. After using any of these techniques, look under the Edit
menu for the Fade command - it will be labeled "Fade Gaussian Blur", "Fade
Brush Tool", "Fade Levels", etc. Drag the slider to gradually fade out the
effects of the last step you did - undo using the slider!

Another tip too... on all tool palettes where you have a size you can input
(such as text size), note the little icon to the left of the point where you
can enter a size. Left click this icon and drag up and down... the number in
the input box will automatically increase or decrease, meaning you don't
have to type in the number :)

Oh - mine doesn't have the zoom box capability, but that's not too painful as I
just drag or hit the command key to zoom out. That's one up for the
PC....drats!

I does work in the zoom box afterall. I go to the Navigator window and
highlight and then use my arrow keys to zoom in and out! Even Stephen .... PC.

Hi...
I'm wondering why a Pantone color used in Photoshop prints a
different color than the identical Pantone color used in Illustrator?

I built a PMS 2748 CVU in AI 9 and then built the same PMS in PS 7, yet the
color shifts upon printout after printing both from Quark 4.

Is it more accurate to just find the CMYK equivalent and then assign it in
both PS and AI?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Just because you can't find any real reason to censor UNI you are now
