Multi-Thousand Dollar Photoshop Lesson
Okay, here is how you save yourself a couple of grand by not going to graphic design school: to look really spiffy during that graphic design interview, be sure and use as many keyboard commands as possible. These days, jobs go to those who work fast over those who work well. Today's handy dandy Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts are courtesy of Craig Alguire.
The F Key
To cycle the current Photoshop document through the featured display mode (hiding other documents), press F. Hitting it three times cycles through the feature display modes. First the document is featured with a grey background, then featured a black background, then 'normal' display with other documents visible.
The Tab Key
To toggle the display of floating windows and toolbars, press the Tab key.
Ergo, pressing F twice and Tab once will show the current document in the center of the screen with a black background. This black background is said by some to be crucial for accurately evaluating the colours of your working document (presuming that you have already accounted for the colour shift introduced by your monitor, graphics card chip set, and of course the difference between RGB and CMYK.)
Happy 'Shoppin'.
