Layer Navigation Shortcut

 

If you’re working on a large, multi-layered document and you have the Move tool (V) active, you can jump to the layer you want by Control-clicking (PC: Right-clicking) on a portion of the image. A contextual menu will appear with a list of the layers beneath the point where you clicked your cursor. To make one of those layers the active layer, just choose it from the menu. It’s important to note that if there aren’t any layers beneath where you’re clicking (or the layers are transparent where you’re clicking), the only layer that will appear in the menu is the Background layer.

Google has introduced the Google 3D Warehouse, which is a library of free 3D models you can import directly into Photoshop and manipulate using the available 3D tools. Here is the site: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse.
