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.

Photoshop CS3 Extended’s new 3D capabilities make it easy to modify models created in other 3D programs. However, there are some that may not have a 3D modeling program.

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
