Fix Those Tool Settings Fast

 

There’s no doubt you’ll be “messing” with many, if not all, of the options for the tools you use every day in Photoshop. One day you’ll go to use a tool, and you’ll have messed with it to the extent that something’s just not right. To quickly get back to any tool’s default settings, choose the tool from the Toolbox, then Control-click (PC: Right-click) on the tool’s icon that appears in the Options Bar on the far left. A contextual menu will appear where you can choose Reset Tool to set it back to its factory-fresh defaults. By the way, while you’re there, you can also choose Reset All Tools and they will all revert to their defaults.

If you clicked the mouse button within your image and held it down, you could leave your image window and sample colors from, well… just about anything—including your computer desktop or any other open application. Freaky! Fortunately, Adobe finally added this same power to Photoshop’s Eyedropper tool.
