Change Adjustment Mask Colors

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

When the color of your subject in a photograph is similar to the color of the mask (the default color is red), it’s difficult to see the mask.  To change the color of the mask, press Shift-O to cycle through red, green, white, and black masks.

    I can not seem to get this to work. Shift Zero or Shift (letter O)?

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
