The Undocumented Fill Shortcut

 

There are all sorts of keyboard shortcuts for filling selections, entire layers, and stuff like that, but if you look under the Edit menu, next to the Fill command, there’s a new little shortcut in CS2 for bringing up the Fill dialog itself (about time!). It’s Shift-F5 (PC: Shift-F5). However, there’s an undocumented keyboard shortcut that will do the same trick—it’s Shift-Delete (PC: Shift-Backspace). This is a good one to pull on your Photoshop buddies and co-workers as a Photoshop trivia question, because few people know it exists.

Cloning From Image To Image

If you’re retouching an image using the Clone Stamp tool (S), not only can you clone from the image you’re in but you can also clone from any other image that you have open. All you have to do is make sure both images are open at the same time. Go to the other image, Option-click (PC: Alt-click) on the area you want to clone from, switch back to the image you’re working on, and then start painting. When you do, you’ll be cloning image data from the other image.
