Speedy Clipping Mask

 

Sometimes a masked layer is just an Option-click (PC: Alt-click) away.  Simply click-and-drag the layer to be used as a mask directly above the layer to be masked.  Press-and-hold Option (PC: Alt) and hover your cursor over the horizontal line separating the layers.  The cursor (hand) becomes a Clipping Mask icon; just click on it to convert the layer above into a mask.

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
