Change the Hardness of a Brush on the Fly

 

You probably know that when the Brush tool ( B ) is selected, you can decrease or increase the brush size by pressing the Left Bracket ( [ ) or Right Bracket ( ] ) key, respectively.  But at times it’s useful to change the brush’s Hardness setting as well.  To do this, just press Shift-[ (the Left Brace { ) to reduce the hardness by 25% or press Shift - ] (the Right Brace } ) to increase it by 25%.

Document Your Happy Accidents

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
