Resurrect the Extract Command

 

The Extract command is no longer offered in Photoshop CS4, but you can still access its functionality in the new version of Photoshop by transferring a file called “Extract-Plus.plugin” from the Plug-Ins>Filters folder of Photoshop CS3 to the same folder in Photoshop CS4. It works and hopefully, there’ll be something even better in CS5.

    You can also download the file of goodies that were remove from CS3
    directly from the adobe site.

    The file includes a lot more than just the ‘Extract’ filter.

    Excellent, thank you! I just installed it and it works. You just need to restart PS if it’s open.

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.
