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.

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.
