Magnetic Lasso Switch

 

If you are working with the Magnetic Lasso tool and need to access the Polygonal Lasso tool, press-and-hold the Option (PC: Alt) key and click. That will automatically switch you to the Polygonal Lasso tool. UPDATE: Dave Cross just ran in and added a variation to this: if you press-and-hold the Option (PC: Alt) key and click-and-drag, it will turn into the regular Lasso tool. Thanks Dave!

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.
