Faster Flattening

 

In the past, if you wanted to flatten an image, there was only one way to do it—go to the Layers palette’s flyout menu and choose Flatten Image. But in CS2, it’s finally right at your fingertips. Just Control-click (PC: Right-click) on any image layer’s name in the Layers palette and choose Flatten Image from the contextual menu that appears. It’s not perfect, but it’s faster than digging through the flyout menu. Note: The options that in the contextual menu depend upon the type of layer on which you Command/Control-click.

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
