Cycling Through Layerblend Modes – Part 1

 

Sometimes it’s useful to quickly cycle through your blend modes to see which one works best.  Manually clicking on each one just isn’t quick, so try this: Click on the Blend Mode list in the top left of the Layers panel to select a blend mode.  Then press Shift – + to cycle down the list and Shift – - to go back up.

    There is an other way, U can press the blend mode list and make it aktive, then U can cycle up and down by pressing the up-arrow key and the down-arrow key. I don´t know if this works on a MAC

    A even faster way is to just click in the blend mode list and then use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard. :)

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.
